Jim Ross of AEW is upset that he was left out of a WWE documentary about Jerry “The King” Lawler, his longtime broadcast partner.
Even though he had taped material for the documentary, Jim Ross said it was a “bummer” because he had been completely removed from it he has revealed on his podcast Grilling JR:
“I really enjoyed the documentary recently with Lawler. I was disappointed that I was cut out of it. I didn’t make the edit as far as making a comment because I know I was interviewed and gave them plenty of comments, but the decision was made somewhere along the way to not use me.
“It’s hard to do a show with Lawler, or (Steve) Austin, or a lot of those guys without at least hearing my voice so at least I know I existed in that era and it wasn’t a figment of my imagination. We were there doing the work. So, that was a little bit of a bump in the road for me.
“I was curious to see what they chose to use. You always wonder. I don’t get a chance to see that stuff before it airs. Anyway, that was a little bit of a bummer, but not a big one. The show was so good, it outdid everything. Any ill it would have had was superseded by the success of the documentary.”
Who the hell in #WWE thinks it's a good idea to cut @JRsBBQ out of the @JerryLawler documentary – They were the greatest commentary team in WWE history. pic.twitter.com/fCv28ArXUF
