5 WWE employees who became entrepreneurs

#3 Jim Ross

JR is a true legend of the pro-wrestling industry

Jim Ross is perhaps the most famous commentator in the world of professional wrestling and is held in high regard by nearly everyone in the industry. There is no greater example of this than The Undertaker lobbying to have Good Ol Jr return and call his final match at Wrestlemania 33 against Roman Reigns.

Another passion of JR, along with wrestling is barbeques and barbeque sauce. It might seem surprising until you learn that Ross is actually from Oklahoma. After his first release from the company, he decided that barbeques could be his new source of income.

He created a line of beef products and barbeque sauces named after himself and has found a good deal of success with these products. Along with his own podcast – The Ross Report – JR has enjoyed the ability to live a life of financial comfort away from commentating.
