During a recent edition of his “Grilling JR” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer and AEW commentator Jim Ross criticized spots in wrestling where a group of wrestlers standing all coiled together outside the ring while another wrestler flies off the top rope into the group. Brandon Cutler took to Twitter, hyping the 7 vs. 7 tag-team match set for Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite and poked fun at JR’s comments. Ross originally said,
“I told a kid the other day at AEW that everybody does the same fu**ing spot. All you guys go outside. You cluster up like coils. You stand there in a huddle, friends and foes together, side by side so you can catch some leaping idiot going over the top who never wins with this move. They are looking for the “holy s**t chant. They love to hear ‘this is awesome’. It’s a spot folks. It’s a trapeze act. I don’t buy into that. The DDT is a great finish and should be used as such.”
Brandon Cutler then set out a tweet, saying, “THIS WEDNESDAY on #AEWDynamite 7 vs 7. We’re gonna go outside, cluster up like coils, stand there in a huddle, friends and foes together, side-by-side to catch some leaping idiot going over the top. Can’t wait 8pm TnT. Hopefully for 1M viewers let’s fn go.”
FTR’s Dax Harwood responded to the tweet, saying, “Imagine not listening to criticism from the men & women who’ve shaped our profession, and paved a road that allows you to make a living today; all because they hurt your feelings.”
