Jim Ross points out a faulty WWE booking decision
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross serves as a senior adviser for AEW (All Elite Wrestling).
Ross recently appeared on the Stone Cold Podcast where he commented on a booking decision by WWE which is illogical according to him. Ross states that for a long time, WWE has been using a booking decision which sees heels constantly get heat on a babyface. He also gave an example of Steve Austin to make his point, “Where Stone Cold gets the win, the heel assaults him and we say ‘We gotta get his heat back.’ Well, what did you do for Austin?
‘He got the win.’ Somewhere along the way, the logic has gotten completely muddled.”
