People started questioning JR’s future in AEW after his blunder, mentioning the rival company’s name in front of the live audience.
To this, Ross replied that he’s not looking for any excuses for his mistake and clarified that he is not quitting the company anytime soon.
Yep I apparently made an untimely error tonight at shows end.
No excuses.
And I’m not quitting. 🤠

This is not the first time Jim has made such a fumble on the AEW mic. One of these times, JR called Kenny Omega WWE Champion rather than AEW Champion. In fact, Omega mocked the veteran announcer after this faux pas.
Meh. I’d rather believe the bigot cuck, dimwit e-drones, and the guy that thinks I’m the WWE champion. https://t.co/X7LEIldMwT

When the Viper made a blooper in front of a live audience
Obviously, these mistakes by Jim Ross were unintentional; however, there have been multiple instances throughout pro-wrestling history when not only commentators but even the wrestlers have slipped in front of a crowd, leaving the fans guessing what just happened.
On an episode of ‘Monday Night RAW’, following the blockbuster at WrestleMania 29, Randy Orton had the mic in his mind.

‘The Viper’ and Sheamus was in the ring cutting a promo when Orton suddenly put his mic down and whispered to Sheamus, saying – “What’s my line?” multiple times.
This instance was rare from a veteran like ‘The Legend Killer’, who is very fluent in his promos.
