While JR is mainly delegated to commentary amongst being an analyst and senior advisor in AEW, Ross helmed talent relations in WWE for many years. Because of this, the 71-year-old has insight that many veterans don’t have.
During a recent episode of Grillin’ JR, the AEW commentator recalled the numerous complaints he received about Shawn Michaels back in the day.
Ross continued, noting that Michaels had heavy leverage with Vince McMahon, making it impossible for stars to complain effectively.
Despite their poor history, Jim Ross claims that the two are in a far better place today, especially after Shawn Michaels turned his life around and became a new man.

The AEW senior advisor has often been questioned on his involvement with the infamous Montreal Screwjob
For years, the controversial ending to Bret Hart’s final WWE match against Shawn Michaels has been a major talking point in the wrestling industry. Jim Ross has often been accused of knowing that Bret would be cheated out of the victory, something which JR still denies.
In an older episode of the Grillin JR podcast, the AEW veteran claimed he never wants to hear about the infamous segment ever again.
With all the controversy in All Elite Wrestling over the past few months, fans have wondered if the promotion will eventually have its very own “Montreal Screwjob.” Hopefully, for JR’s sake, nothing on that scale will ever happen again.
