Jim Ross Reveals Which Pro Wrestling Legend Thought The Undertaker Would Never Draw

November 20, 2015

Jim Ross has posted a new article over at FOX Sports looking back at The Undertaker’s pro wrestling career.

On the subject of ‘Taker’s WCW contract expiring before he ended up going to WWE, Ross had the following to say about Ole Anderson doubting Undertaker’s future in the business:

Ole Anderson was the booker — ultimately in charge of the talent roster — and he felt that Mark “would never draw a dime.” Ole and I disagreed on this matter, but I lost the argument as many did to the combative wrestler.

Ole generally had a good feel for who had “it” and who didn’t, but it’s easy to say 25 years later even Ole Anderson can make a mistake.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
