Jim Ross is well respected throughout the industry as one of, if not the, greatest play-by-play man in pro-wrestling history. As good as JR is at calling matches, he may have been even better at scouting talent. Just look at some of the names that WWE signed under Ross' watch: Brock Lesnar, The Rock, Mick Foley, Kurt Angle, John Cena, Edge, Randy Orton, Batista...the list goes on. No one in the history of talent relations can lay claim to hiring a list of superstars quite like JR can. Imagine if JR decided to pass on just one of those names. How different would the world of sports-entertainment be? Obviously, the Oklahoman isn't perfected as there have been some potential signees he's missed over the years (AJ Styles, Kharma, etc), but his track record is exemplary but speaks for itself. Why, then, is the single greatest commentator in WWE history, who also happens to be significantly responsible for the talent development of the greatest stars in company history, not treated with the utmost respect by WWE?
