Ross provides an update on his health and his status for All In.
In July, Jim Ross tweeted out that he underwent a successful procedure on his wrist. He elaborated on why he needed that operation as he appeared on Highspots Sign-it-Live:
Did I tell you I had a broken wrist? I tripped over my charger cord in my condo. I was naked and barefooted so, I didn’t have much defense.
He dove into how he’s feeling health-wise. He said he does not want to complain. Ross is feeling better, but added that travel is the ‘enemy.’
Pretty good (health-wise). This year, I’ve had my right hip replaced. I’ve been having trouble with my radiation burn, where they worked on my cancer. 22 radiation treatments and it left a horrible scar and so that’s still healing after a year. I had the hip replacement, I fell in my living room and broke my wrist. What else has happened to me? And then I had some weird respiratory issues. But I’m feeling great. So, I lost probably 40 pounds. (It is tough to lose weight), especially when you’re an old guy. So, I’ve had an interesting year health-wise, and (inaudible), my health has always been immaculate so, I’m really not gonna b*tch and moan and cry about it, because I know there are people out there that have it worse than me. I get that and I feel for them as well. But I’m feeling better without question. It’s just travel is the enemy. I got one hand to deal with. I need to hire me an assistant, and I’ll be glad when this (wrist cast) comes off. Look, I’m blessed, I got a great life. I got great fans, I got friends like you (Michael Bochicchio) that I appreciate and like being around. So, I really don’t have anything major to b*tch about… But things are good, you know?
J.R. would make his way onto Highspots’ Virtual Gimmick Table show and shared that he thinks he’s scheduled to call the main event of AEW All In at Wembley Stadium which is Swerve Strickland versus Bryan Danielson for the AEW World Championship.
Well, I’m getting ready to go to London for AEW. I think I’m scheduled to call the Bryan Danielson-Swerve (Strickland) match, and that’s gonna be a barnburner. A slobberknocker if you will. Both them are hungry, both of them are great. It could be (that someone will get beat like a government mule). Very likely. I think that may happen.
Danielson versus Strickland is a career versus title match. POST Wrestling will have written and audio coverage of the event.
AEW made the announcement that the 2025 installment of All In will emanate from Arlington, Texas and they’ll return to London in 2026.
