Jim Ross has provided an update on his health after suffering a bad fall a few short weeks ago.
Before the debut of AEW Collision, Jim Ross posted a photo showing the damage from a bad fall he had suffered and when he arrived for the show, his voice was already very hoarse. After the event, he would announce he would be stepping away for a little while.
Speaking with Conrad Thompson on Grilling JR, Ross provided an update on his health and how he is feeling.
“I’m feeling pretty good. I’m getting better every day. I just had a string of bad luck, health wise, which is very unusual for me because, knock on wood, I’ve been very blessed with good health. But when you get to be 71, and you’re trying to live a young man’s life in a young man’s business and going on the road every week, it can get very challenging. So that’s kind of what I found myself in that situation. But what happened was, it’s a hell of a story, at least it was for me. I got up and not unlike a lot of other people, I had to go yo the bathroom in the middle of the night, so I hopped out of bed to go to my bathroom, and apparently I tripped over my CPAP cord. When I did, I fell face-first into the end table next to my bed, and the corner hit over here somewhere. So I had a huge knot immediately, eye swelled shut almost immediately. But I was so sleepy and so out of it that I just got back in bed. I think I actually went to the bathroom. Mother Nature won that match, and then I got back in bed,”

Ross would later say that he isn’t sure when he will return to AEW and is focused on getting himself into better health.
We wish JR the best in his recovery and hope to see him return to All Elite Wrestling soon.
