#1 Jim Ross on why Test never became a top star in WWE

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross talked about late WWE Superstar Test on his Grilling JR podcast. He said that even though Test checked a lot of the boxes needed to become a big superstar, he had some drug-related issues which prevented him from becoming a megastar:

“He had intermittent interludes of connecting with the audience. He had a great look and he ticked a lot of boxes. But I think the ability to stay connected, and he might if he was alive today, and God rest his soul, he would probably say, ‘I wish I had this to do over, I could do this over,’ but he had some drug issues,'' said Ross.

Jim Ross stated that some superstars did have issues with drug abuse and Test was one of the athletes who struggled with it. Even though Test was a former Intercontinental Champion and had the look of a top star, he never managed to break into the main event scene.
