Jim Ross talked about who he feels is the future of AEW during a recent edition of the Grilling JR podcast
Ross sees Jungle Boy as the long-term answer, but is also high on some other stars.
“Based on aptitude and not eliminating anyone from the process, I can see Adam Cole certainly being one of those guys,” Ross said. “Smart kid, got a great mind for the business, he’s young, he’s healthy. MJF without a doubt. He’s got a terrific wrestling mind, he knows how to be annoying. He’s very easy to dislike, which is the greatest trait a wrestling villain can have. So, I have great confidence that he’s going to be a star for years to come, and a big one.
I think Jungle Boy Jack Perry is going to be one of our leaders and stars of the future, long term future. Darby Allin is over, some how some way. He’s a strange enigma just like Jeff Hardy was. Scorpio and Ethan Page got leadership written all over them.”
