Jim Ross stated on “Grilling with JR” podcast that he still wishes CM Punk was with AEW:
“I get text messages from him on a somewhat frequent basis because he’s just checking on me to see how I’m feeling.
“I miss CM Punk. I thought he contributed greatly to the AEW roster when he was with us. To be perfectly candid, I wish he still was.
How do you not want a talent the level of CM Punk not still with your company?
It, personality-wise, just did not work out, and that’s unfortunate.”
Jim Ross is one of the realest men in wrestling history. Also one of the most important men in the history of the business.
