Jim Ross can be found giving a wide range of opinions on WWE's current product via his successful podcast and official website on a weekly basis. Generally, when JR talks wrestling, fans tend to listen, because the man has spanned multiple generations during his time in the industry.

During one of his latest blog posts, Ross turned his attention to the recent Extreme Rules pay-per-view. Specifically, he wanted to address the main event bout between Roman Reigns and AJ Styles, focusing on some of the things the live crowd shouted throughout. Aiming their sights directly at Reigns, the fans chanted 'You Can't Wrestle' at the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

Keeping things short and sweet, that's something JR says he absolutely hates. On social media, many fans could be seen backing up the WWE Hall Of Fame inductee's sentiments, irked that fans would go into business for themselves.

JR called the chants an "embarrassment", saying that it's also attention-seeking behaviour from those who attend to let others know how they feel.
