We recently found out that
All Elite Wrestling had made arguably its biggest announcement yet with the singing of Jim "JR" Ross to a 3-year contract with the fledgling promotion in a Senior Adviser capacity.
We weren't sure exactly what that would entail at the time, but Ross has now given fans a much better idea of what to expect from his role with the company during an interview with ESPN.
"I'm going to do all I can to help this young group. Share what I got, what knowledge I have, what expertise I have, whether it be in the infrastructure of the talent relations department or other areas. As a senior adviser, I can advise anyone in the company, especially the president. So I may be as much as Tony Khan's consigliere as any other job. It's a good way to describe what I'm doing as senior adviser is helping all of these guys, but I'm not going to get into that world of playcalling and strategizing matches. If somebody asks, I'll tell them what I liked and didn't like, how I thought it could be better or whatever it may be."
Good ol' JR also makes it very clear that he won't be in charge of Talent Relations, and has no intention of being involved with the hiring of new wrestlers to the promotion.
"My patience for some of the millennial kids they are hiring, that anybody hires -- they need a lot of time, time I don't have," he explains.
"I'm going to help them as much as I can, but that's not my area of expertise."
