#7. Legendary WWE commentator Jim Ross has also ventured into the food world

Wrestling’s most well-known commentator and WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is still busy doing what he does best behind the announce table. After spending a long time in WWE, Ross is now busy lending his voice to AEW.

Ross also hosts his weekly podcast, Grilling JR. Outside of wrestling, Ross is known for his barbecue sauce business. The WWE Hall of Famer has credited his mother for inspiring him to start his line of sauces:

“My mother was my inspiration. She used to make barbecue sauce. Because our house was small, four rooms, no air conditioning, we cooked a lot outside. I’d be out tending to the smoker as a young man, smelling the aroma of my mother’s barbecue sauce."

Not many WWE legends have branched out into the food world. JR has not only ventured into the food business, but he has also found a reasonable amount of success in it.

In 2007, JR also opened up J.R.'s Family Bar-B-Q in Norman, Oklahoma. However, the restaurant closed down in 2010. His line of barbeque sauces is still very famous and is helping him become a successful businessman.
