On the latest edition of Grilling JR, Ross gave his thoughts on Hobbs and said that he has į©į©į©į©į©į©ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤į©ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤į©ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤į©š±į©į©į©the ability to be a significant part of š¦©the big picture in AEW.
āYeah, heās a very good talent. Iāve been a supporter of Powerhouse Hobbs since he really started evolving and heās another guy thatās just coming back from an injury, heās healthy, he looks great, strong as the ox, so Iām glad that heās back on television. Itāll help the TV and it will help Hobs obviously to get more TV exposure, thatās the key thing. Guys should not keep track or how many wins or how many losses they have, they should focus on the match quality that theyāre in. So, maximize your TV minutes is a good way of looking at that deal. Yeah, Hobbs is a star. Heās going to be ā Iām anxious to see where he ends up at the end of his run somewhere down the road, heās a young guy so heās still got plenty of time left. Iām a big fan of his and a proponent of his work, I think he can do ā he has the ability to be much more significant in the big picture than not. Heās really talented. That was a good signing by Tony Khan. Willie has made sure that this games evolves, heās is a student of the game, heās a wrestling fan and that always helps. Iām pulling for him too, itās amazing how many great young talents that this roster has right now.ā
