Attorney Stephen P. New unloads on Jim Ross after “frivolous” claim

Stephen P. New, the attorney representing Kevin Kelly and the Tate brothers in their lawsuit against AEW, ripped Jim Ross a new one while appearing on the House of Kayfabe podcast after Ross said that the lawsuit is “frivolous” and the plaintiffs will run out of money before Tony Khan will.

New said that Jim Ross is part of the problem because he fed the guys in WWE those same kind of “crap contracts for a quarter of a century” when he worked for WWE in the Talent Relations department.

“You told these guys that it was a take it or leave it deal and they needed to sign these crap contracts, that were contracts of adhesion that they should have never signed,” New said.

New added that he might lose, but this is not a frivolous lawsuit as JR has indicated.

“Tony Khan has paid Jim Ross a lot of money to do nothing for about five years now,” New ranted on. “So, if I were Jim Ross and I were living at Jacksonville Beach and making a bunch of money to not do much at all, I’d probably come out and call Stephen P. New’s lawsuit frivolous also. Everybody’s got a price.”

AEW President Tony Khan chimed in afterward, writing that he was “shocked and appalled” by the comments on Jim Ross.

He called JR a legend, part of AEW’s foundation, and someone who is important from the beginning of AEW to today.

“AEW, JR & I reserve all rights,” Khan wrote.
