Jim Ross Comments On The Dark Order Angle

The December 18th, 2019 episode of AEW Dynamite ended with the Dark Order attacking several of the company’s top babyface wrestlers. The segment has been poorly reviewed by many. Jim Ross took some time on a recent episode of his “Grillin J.R” podcast to address the angle.

“It’s as if we’ve created this amazing sin that can never be duplicated,” Ross said on the show. “Since the ’70s, how many matches you think I’ve called that were the absolute drizzling sh*ts? Every brand with some big names. You ain’t gotta be an unknown under a mask to s**t the bed. I knew that the crowd did not go crazy on how we went off the air, because I was in the arena.”

Ross would continue to say that AEW management is aware of the response to the angle, however. He would continue to say hopefully something like that will not happen again.

“It was poorly-executed, folks,” JR continued. “And hopefully nothing like that will ever occur again. And I know everybody that has some ability to change things in AEW are well aware of it.”

Amongst the criticisms of the segment involved one masked Dark Order member throwing several punches which missed the mark by a solid margin. Ross addressed the viral clip as well.

“I don’t know what to say other than if I had not seen that clip that went viral as you mentioned, Conrad, I would not have known just how bad it was.”
