During a recent edition of his “Grilling JR” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross discussed Konosuke Takeshita’s potential in AEW and other topics.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Konosuke Takeshita: “I did think that the spotlight on Takeshita, who’s really going to be a big star. I think he needs to be in less tags and more singles. Takeshita is really a find, and I hope they can keep him. He’s big, and he’s athletic, and he’s got a great look and so forth. He’s a good one. He’s a keeper as they say.”
On Powerhouse Hobbs: “Another keeper in that thing was Powerhouse Hobbs. Man, if I were booking that damn thing, Powerhouse Hobbs wouldn’t be touched. He’s just a premium commodity, in my view. So Powerhouse Hobbs and Takeshita came out of that crazy match looking decent and had a little spotlight on them, which I thought was smart.”
