Which of today’s current crop of wrestlers would have been a dream opponent for Ricky Steamboat during the Dragon’s heyday?
Steamboat, a former NWA Worlds Champion and WWF Intercontinental Champion, retired years ago but recently had a one-off return with Big Time Wrestling.
Reflecting on Steamboat’s legendary career on his Grilling JR podcast, Ross was asked who would the Dragon be wrestling today if he was at his prime.
Ross said his first choice would be AEW’s American Dragon, Bryan Danielson, adding “you want a booking idea? Come to JR.”
Ross’ other names include the likes of AEW’s Kenny Omega and Adam Cole as potential challengers to Steamboat.
When his co-host Conrad Thompson suggested WWE’s Randy Orton as an opponent, Ross supported the idea, saying the dream match would be a “classic.”
Steamboat recently spoke about Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, saying that the Tribal Chief never wanted to be in the shadow of his cousin The Rock.
