10 WWE Wrestlers That Went From The Top To The Bottom Then Back Again
6. Jim Ross
WWE aren't the nice company - and Vince McMahon's fascinating relationship with Jim Ross remains a monument to that - but a gesture they made to arguably the greatest commentator in the industry's history years after his exit was a rare case of them doing a good thing for a good person.
A loyal Federation foot solider and unappreciated Attitude Era architect, JR had already been fired twice before becoming such a key figure at McMahon's top table, but was unceremoniously booted in 2013 after a 2K panel featuring Ric Flair went off the rails amidst rumours of both Ross and 'The Nature Boy' being drunk on the job.
He kept busy in the meantime, until the tragic passing of his beloved wife Jan in March 2017. Just a month later he was asked to call the main event of WrestleMania 33 and was subsequently resigned for two more years that saw him work the inaugural Mae Young Classic and lend his voice to a instant classic between Tyler Bate and Pete Dune later that year.
Oh, and yes he is a wrestler for the benefit of this list. Listening to that soundbite from the SmackDown Vs Raw game about him beating Triple H in Madison Square Garden ad nauseam taught us all that.
