Really sad story of someone so obsessed with his
image and career, that he left wives and children to
pursue it.
Fascinating piece by ESPN, in any case.
Worth watching, even if you aren't a wrestling fan.

Probably the best at what he did - the straight man announcer and backstage interviewer, to contrast from the lunacy of the pro wrestling around him. Everyone was posting blooper clips of him yesterday, and those were tremendous, because he would keep the same cadence and tone even when cussing someone out.
