The professional wrestling industry is not like the older days anymore. While WWE and AEW are in a fierce rivalry, both companies must maintain kayfabe. In the past, not maintaining it had severe repercussions. However, in modern times, its seriousness has reportedly diminished.
A few days back, a photo went viral, and several fans and veterans had mixed reactions. This picture was taken before an episode of WWE RAW, and it featured many superstars as well as managerial staff. Fans spotted names such as Triple H, Otis, Gunther, Randy Orton, Iyo Sky, and more in it. All of them were in a relaxed state as they were visibly rehearsing for the show that had at hand.
Many said that the leaked image is not a good look for the wrestling business. Interestingly, AEW star Jeff Jarret was recently asked about this photo and he stated that it did not surprise him.
"It surprised me that this pic had such a big reaction because, is this the first time this kind of stuff has come out? That's my first question. I think that in itself surprises me. I really thought pictures have leaked before like this. And I guess it is proof of 'here's what it is.'. But it wasn't that big a deal to me. I just assumed that everybody else assumed," said the AEW wrestler. [1:50 - 3:42]
AEW commentator Jim Ross was furious about the leaked picture
The legendary Jim Ross was enraged by the above-mentioned picture. The veteran stated that whoever clicked it was an unprofessional individual and needed to be fired from the company.
"Somebody's a chicken s**t quite frankly. It's just unprofessional and has no place. Whoever did it should be fired, simple as that. Shouldn't go to HR, just say, 'Look, we're done. You broke a rule that is important to maintain,'" said Ross. (H/T Wrestling Inc)
Jim Ross has been associated with the professional wrestling industry since the mid-1970s. Even though he has been signed to the Tony Khan-led promotion since 2019, he is best known for his time in the WWE.
