Jim Ross reveals he'd like to call 40-year-old's match if he returned to WWE

Wrestling icon Jim Ross recently shared that he would like to call a popular WWE star's match if he returned to the company. The legendary commentator currently works for All Elite Wrestling.

Speaking on his Grillin JR podcast, the veteran was asked which star he would like to call a match for if he got the opportunity to return to the promotion. Jim Ross noted that he would like to call a match for Cody Rhodes and stated that he had known The American Nightmare for a long time.

"Yeah, I'd do a Cody match, probably. I have a lot of respect for Becky Lynch. I helped get her job, and she reminds me of that every time I see her, which is not very often, obviously, But Cody would be on my list of matches to call. There's a lot of guys on the roster that you could select to book, with Cody that would give you the match that you were looking for. Since I've known him since he was a little boy, that would be kind of cool," he said. [H/T: Wrestling Inc]

"I never have understood Vince’s intense animosity. I think he was jealous. It was, it was never going to be the, he was, he was never the play-by-play guy that I was (...) As much grief as he gave me, I could always look at my bank account and get happy. I never had the animosity toward Vince that he had toward me, and I never got it," he said. [H/T - TJR Wrestling]
