4. Jim Ross
Many fans would struggle to think of a performer who has been more mistreated on air than Jim Ross.
Whether he's being sucker-punched by Tazz in 2000, or being burned alive by Kane in 2003, it seems Good Ol' JR always gets the short straw.
In November 2005, this bad luck continued, as Jim Ross was called to the ring by Linda McMahon.
Saying she was unhappy with being stunned by Steve Austin the week earlier at WWE Homecoming, Linda, alongside Vince and Stephanie, fired the commentator, saying he hadn't properly apologized for Ross' best friend's actions.
In actuality, the firing was to allow JR to face some real-life health issues he was facing at the time.
After returning at WrestleMania 22 and Saturday Night's Main Event, JR would make his way back to RAW full-time in May 2006, after Joey Styles quit the show for ECW.
