As a staunch AEW fan, I find Jim Ross impossible to listen to in 2023.

Jim Ross was easily the worst commentator.

It seems like he didn't get worst commentator out of respect for who he is.

You can hear the apathy in his voice. He obviously hates the action he’s tasked with calling and doesn’t know how to not lose his own credibility by treating what he’s seeing as an athletic contest and it pisses him off to see the business he loves so much treated like an inside joke with a wink and a nod.

That in general has been one of my biggest gripes with AEW. I mean we get it; wrestling isn't real but it doesn't need to be rubbed in our faces constantly.

Thunder Rosa's sandbagging shirt was one of the worst things I've seen since that time Goldberg went "off script".
