Legendary wrestling broadcaster Jim Ross has been away from AEW TV for a while now due to his ongoing battle with Colon Cancer, for which he recently had surgery. JR has now given fans a major update on his condition.
The Voice of Wrestling had announced that he had Colon Cancer last month and that he was going to undergo treatment to get better. A few days ago, the veteran AEW broadcaster even posted on X that his surgery was a success. Jim Ross’s announcement of being diagnosed with Colon Cancer came under some unexpected scrutiny from WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair. The Nature Boy, in a now-deleted X (Twitter) post, had accused JR of seeking attention. Amid heavy criticism, Flair was compelled to clarify his comments, which he did in another post on X.
Now that Jim Ross is well on his road to recovery, it will be interesting to see when he returns to AEW programming and if he responds to the comments made by the Nature Boy.
