Jim Ross would like to do more announcing work for AEW.
The legendary announcer recently signed a one-year AEW contract which will see him mostly contribute commentary for the promotion's pay-per-views. The 72-year-old called the opener and main event of this past weekend's Dynasty event.
On a recent edition of his Grilling JR podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer noted that he hopes his schedule isn't just restricted to order-only supercards, saying:
"Tony Khan hired me back to do pay-per-views, and I'm tickled to death to be there on them. So [having PPVs] once a month is great for me personally. And I hope that somewhere along the way there's another assignment or two thrown in there at times, either on Dynamite or Collision".
Continuing, Ross noted that he has pitched suggestions for more shows.
"I think pay-per-views is what Tony had slotted for me to come in and contribute to. They're going to be once a month and that's when I'll be there. But I would not be surprised if somewhere down the road - you know, I suggested this to him, maybe me doing a Collision on the go-home show, the last Collision before the pay-per-view Sunday. I think that might be a thought. But you know how us old carny types are, we're just always trying to get ourselves booked," he said.
Earlier this year, Ross said that 2024 could be his last year as an announcer.
