Ross is considered as arguably the greatest announcer in pro wrestling history following his marvellous WWE run, which started way back in 1993, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2007.

The 69-year-old has called some of the all-time greatest matches, like Stone Cold Steve Austin vs The Rock, Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker and Michaels vs Austin.

The American announcer left Vince McMahon's promotion in 2019 and quickly linked up with rival company AEW.
