During the latest episode of his acclaimed “Grilling JR” podcast, Jim Ross, a veteran sports commentator and esteemed WWE Hall of Fame inductee, disclosed his anticipation for the AEW Full Gear 2024 headliner, Jay White versus Hangman Page.
For your convenience, here are key points gleaned from the podcast:
Expounding on the impending clash between Jay White and Hangman Page at Full Gear, Jim Ross voiced his expectations. “I’m anticipating a blockbuster match, Conrad. It has the potential to rank amongst the best pay-per-view main events of this year,” he claimed. “Both White and Page are at pivotal junctures in their careers. It’s clear they’re driven and are seeing progress. This drive and vision are both positives. They’re an exceptional duo, skilled and highly talented. I was impressed watching Page’s ring techniques and mannerisms – things that only us seasoned spectators would notice. He’s making notable progress especially with his footwork and ring positioning,” Ross explained.
He went on to discuss future potential for Jay White, stating that he believes White’s best AEW match is yet to come. “Despite White having quite a few commendable matches, I believe his truest potential hasn’t been completely tapped into yet in AEW, given my firsthand experience of seeing him deliver spectacular performances. With this, they have a real shot at topping the program,” Ross enthused.
On another note, Ross also touched on Mercedes Mone’s defence of the TBS Title against Kris Statlander at Full Gear. “This match presents an interesting contrast in style – Statlander, the powerful wrestler, capable of defeating you with a mere bear hug against the crafty and adaptable Mone. I’m hoping for the kind of match that makes me take notice of Mone’s genius. Because I know she’s excellent, and I know she’s a well-compensated athlete. Yet, I’m still waiting for that standout match from her,” shared Ross, displaying a keen interest in seeing a breakthrough performance from Mercedes Mone.
