Jim Ross, iconic announcer and former Executive Vice President of Talent Relations in WWE, has named Tiger Ali Singh as the worst talent he ever signed.

When asked by a Grilling JR listener about his worst signing, Ross reluctantly offered his answer.

“I think maybe the one that we wasted a lot of time on was Tiger Jeet Singh’s son… Tiger Ali Singh,” JR admitted. “Yeah, I already forgot his name. Nice kid, good looking, smart… he just didn’t have the natural ability to connect to the audience. He looked good, he looked the part. Vince [McMahon] loved him. Vince was looking at opening up international markets where Tiger Ali Singh would have been a special, you know, a viable option.”

JR continued, “When I signed him, he almost demanded to fly first class. I kicked that idea back ’cause that’s not what Vince wanted to do. Vince would’ve squashed it anyway. We had a compromise where he would fly first class on the last leg of his tour.”

“So he when he got off the plane in Toronto, where he lived, where he’s from, he would be with that group of first class passengers that got off the plane first. So people could see him get off the plane first and assume automatically that he was riding in the first class like a star. So we did that for him, but it still didn’t work. I wish it did work out because he could have made a fortune in international markets without question, but it didn’t come to be.”
