Jim Ross was all praises for Mark Henry after his arrival in AEW
Legend commentator Jim Ross spoke about the arrival of Mark Henry to AEW and what it means for the promotion.
Mark Henry recently announced his arrival to AEW as a commentator and head of talent development. Henry is believed to be part of the Rampage team, while Jim Ross won’t be a member of the panel.
“You know he’s got a good eye for talent, he’s coachable, he likes to mentor so that was pretty cool. It gives me credence that the Friday night show Rampage is not going to be a throw away, it’s not a space filler. I was kind of surprised that Mark got out from under the WWE banner and is coming to work with our team.” (h/t Grilling JR podcast )
“He’s still got the itch, it seems to me like. I didn’t see him all day, so they kept him sequestered all day. It didn’t leak, it never got out and he’ll do a real good job there. He’ll be a part of the team on a regular, on going basis in multiple roles.”
Rampage is expected to boost ratings after a poor showing with Dynamite in recent weeks. It is scheduled to begin on August 13th.
