@9:52 Jim Ross nearly crying and choked up over the fact he wasn’t a great father but how many kids have fathers who are millionaires? I can’t imagine his kids went hungry.

[@sportsfan5548]

True, but I will guess that his kids would have given all of that up to have him around more than he was. There is no telling how much he missed out on when his kids were growing up and there's no price tag for having your dad around and supporting you in what you're doing.

[@lr578]

Great segment. JR is a class act and also a wealth of life knowledge.

Jim Ross was as important to the WWF/E as Stone Cold and The Rock were. The amount of life and excitement he added to every match is hard to overstate.

[@c.cosman3674]

My old man watched WWF in the atitude Era, I was born 93. I remember him taping over my cartoons for classic matches. I never followed WWE growing up honestly after the name change, but, listening to Jim Ross, damn. The moment I heard his voice was nothing but nostalgia. LEGEND in an sports commentary. Id love it to hear him do the NBA, the enthusiasm that man brings is untouched by our commentators.

[@theTRUman]

You forgot to mention The Undertaker. While never being a big fan of The Undertaker....I think it goes without question, he was the most popular/famous in Professional Wrestling history. Without him, The Attitude Era wouldn't be what we remember is being, the most epic era in Professional Wrestling's history.

[@ososkic8673]

Undertaker is on John Cena/Brock lesnar super stardom level i would say. Everybody also internationally knows John cena and also brock lesnar since he was the UFC HW champ for some years.

[@DLKnightstick1989]

The Undertaker was the Tim Duncan of wrestling. An all-time great that no one really seemed to notice until the tail end of his career/retirement.

[@theTRUman]

The Undertaker was the ultimate villain. He was the holder of "The Streak", with a 21-0 Wrestlemania record. He was part of some of the most iconic matches during in WWF history. And he wrestled for over 30 years, all the way up to his 50's. That dude had soooo much to do with the most popular era in Pro Wrestling history, and that's a big deal. He may not have been the most beloved....but EVERYONE knew who he was, and there was no fight he didn't have a chance at winning, whether it be against Stone Cold, The Rock, Kane, Kurt Angle, ect. Andre ...he was WAY more popular than you realize. If you disagree, fine. But to act like it's not even a discussion...you're way off base. DLKnightstick ...no offense, but that is prob the worst description of The Undertaker you could come up with. I suppose I get what you're tryyyying to say.....but you're just terribly wrong.

[@heelinoff2472]

the TRUman I think there are two distinctly different discussions happening here. what you REALLY meant is that the Undertaker had the most successful, important and impactful GIMMICK of all time...I would 100% agree. Yes, Austin, The Rock, Hogan were all wildly popular, enough to gain necessary mainstream attention, but their "characters" were really just versions of themselves turned up to the max...you can say the same about Cena and Brock post attitude era. But if not for the gamble Vince took on "the Undertaker" GIMMICK, the business would probably not have been lucrative enough for those other guys to flourish into the 21st century.

[@theTRUman]

Heelin Off24/7 my whole case, and every point Ive made to support that case, is saying I firmly believe that The Undertaker should be on the Pro Wrestling Mt Rushmore...meaning , if The Undertaker isnt theeee most iconic Pro Wrestler of all time, he is definitely top 4. #1 can be debated....Stone Cold was the definition of badass, and The Rock was the definition of electric. However...The Undertaer being Top 4...I think that goes without question. The Attitude Era defines Pro Wrestling....and The Undertaker helped make The Attitude Era.
