#1. The announce team at WWE Survivor Series 1997

Sitting behind the announce desk that fateful night were the two men who always called the action at major WWE events at the time: Jerry "The King" Lawler and Jim Ross.

Over the years, Ross has explicitly denied having any beforehand knowledge of what was to transpire. He also insisted that his broadcast partner Lawler didn't either.

A former WWE writer just went after JBL for his comments HERE

Jim Ross is currently the lead announcer for AEW Dynamite after a nearly 25-year career with WWE. He also runs a BBQ sauce/beef jerky company (both of which actually taste pretty darn good) and hosts a successful podcast, Grilling JR.

Jerry Lawler has worked on and off with the company since Survivor Series 1997. Nowadays, his appearances with WWE are sporadic, but he still appears on the independent circuit from time to time.

Many others were involved that night, a number of whom have sadly passed away -- including Owen Hart, Davey Boy Smith, Jim Neidhart, and Pat Patterson.
