Jim Ross didn't care for the fire spot with Kane.
In𒐪 a backstage segment on the July 14, 2003 edition of Raw, Ross was set on fire by Kane. This spot came just weeks after Kane lost his mask after falling to Triple H in a Title vs. Mask bout on a episode of Raw.
The segment was well received at the time, but now🔯, Ross believes that it was a waste of time and a bit unrealistic.
“Made sense. I didn’t mind doing it because they had a stunt double come in, and they burned him. They just wanted me to scream, which I did. But I thought it was a waste of time. Because it’s unrealistic. It’s was unbelievable. So while your moms are turning the channel because it’s not appropriate for their kids to watch, you have a lot of other fans saying, ‘Why are they doing this?’ I was back on TV in a week or two. It wasn’t even sold well. That ain’t my problem. I didn’t book it. I did what I was told. So I thought it was a waste of time. It was not a good scene. I understand the logic, I do. It just was unbelievable logic, and that’s not the best kind." Ross said on the latest edition of Grilling JR.
Elsewhere in the podcast, Ross praised Marina Shafir for bringing a specific element to the Death Riders in AEW. Click here to check out his full comments on the matter.
