10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Sep 1)

3. A DUI Brought JR & Paul Heyman Closer

There's another fascinating Jim Ross-related fact to report on this week, and it also involves one-time enemy-turned-good pal Paul Heyman.

A good while back, JR had his driver's license revoked for between three-six months. He'd been busted on a DUI, and that was problematic for more than just personal reasons. Suddenly finding himself without a means to get from A to B and work WWE's schedule, Ross had to find himself a driver. Enter one loudmouth former ECW owner.

JR began travelling with Heyman, and the pair found they had way more in common than they first thought. Their relationship had been strained over the years, but they bonded during lengthy car rides, becoming the best of friends by actually taking the time to converse properly away from wrestling's political minefield.

Since then, Ross and Heyman have remained great friends. It's weird that Jim's legal problems led to a budding friendship, and it may never have happened without his DUI charge.
