Jim Ross believes Tony Khan should sign another major name to AEW

Gail Kim recently exited TNA Wrestling. She was the Head of Talent Relations in TNA Wrestling, and many are reportedly unhappy with her firing from the promotion.

In a recent edition of the Grilling JR podcast, Jim Ross encouraged Tony Khan to sign Gail Kim to All Elite Wrestling. JR explained how valuable Gail Kim could be for the promotion and stated that she shouldn't stay unemployed for long in wrestling.

"If Tony Khan asked me my thoughts on the matter, I would suggest, 'Go for it,' because she's very valuable and does a great job. I have great respect for Gail Kim, and her reputation speaks for itself. She gets results. She's very good at working with talent. So no, I'm a big Gail Kim fan, and she should not be unemployed for long in my world." [H/T - 411Mania]

Fans will have to wait and see if Tony Khan brings Gail Kim to All Elite Wrestling any time soon.
