How Tony Khan Really Feels About Jim Ross In AEW

Tony Khan has expressed how strongly he feels about Jim Ross and his contributions to AEW ahead of All In Texas.

Jim Ross has been one of the voices of AEW since the company’s inception in 2019, lending his experience and authority at the announce desk. In more recent times, Ross’s role has been limited to pay-per-views as he has had a rough time dealing with health issues.

Most recently, Jim Ross has battled cancer, undergoing surgery for the disease, and he’s confirmed he’s now recovering well. The WWE Hall of Famer has made clear his intention to be at All In Texas, but it remains to be seen if there’s a role on that show for him.

However, it’s very likely Tony Khan would make plenty of space for him.

Jim Ross Indispensable To AEW Says Tony Khan

Speaking to TMZ Sports, Tony Khan explained exactly what Jim Ross means to AEW:

Jim Ross is an indispensable part of AEW. He’s the greatest wrestling commentator of all time. I first heard JR’s voice when I was eight years old, and he immediately hooked me with his commentary. He is a great man. He’s done so much in wrestling. He’s the original voice of AEW.

He’s been through some really tough health battles, and I think it’s important to stand with Jim. Jim’s done a lot for AEW and me personally. It means a lot that I can be there and stand by Jim in a tough time for him. And it’s so great to hear that Jim is doing much better now. We’re all wishing JR the best in his recovery. Everyone in AEW loves JR. He has been a huge part of AEW from the very beginning, and it’s great to have him in AEW now as part of the team.
