But does that mean I’m not going to continue? No. Does that mean that I’m going to, at that point, make the final decision that, hey, this is I’ve had enough, I’m tapping, I want to work less hours, I’m going to work less travel,

I’m not going to fly every week, whatever it may be, it’s still to be determined. But you’re the older you get, and you don’t pass up on those opportunities.”

It is likely good ol’ JR still has enough left in the tank to keep on providing commentary in AEW for a long enough time. We’ll have to see when Ross will finally end his career.
