• Jim Ross Confirms AEW Will Air Live 2 Hour Weekly TV Show On A Major Network Starting October

During a recent interview on WFAN Radio in New York City, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross (who is now signed to All Elite Wrestling) revealed that AEW will have a live 2 hour weekly TV show on a major cable network starting October.

Below is what Good Ol’ JR said:

“AEW is overwhelming for me. To be 67 years old and be anointed the voice of a brand that’s gonna be debuting in October on national television on a major cable network, which can’t be named now. When people hear what network we’re going on, they’re gonna be doubly excited. It’s a network we can all find.

I think what they’re shooting for is a more athletic presentation. It will hopefully be less eye rolling than the sophomore drama class trying to convince you in a 10 minute promo of anything they’re saying. It’s too long. Our audience can’t handle that.”
