Listen, I love Jim Ross. I was recently rewatching a Flair vs. Steamboat match and as good as the contest was, it was made even more special by the fact that Jim Ross was in prime form, providing the soundtrack to the thrilling match with his commentary.
When Jim Ross is on point, he is not unlike Freddie Mercury at Live Aid or even Anthony Hopkins when he's completely immersed in character. He is a master of the game and in many ways, he has written all the rules that the announcers of today follow.

What I'm trying to say is that the man is way past his prime and was floundering at the booth on several occasions. Add to the fact that Alex Marvez is a really weak commentator and you come to the realization that this is AEW's weakest aspect, by far.
Poor showing all around.
