Tony Khan expressed his hope that the legendary wrestling commentator Jim Ross will be involved in AEW’s biggest event of the year, All In: Texas, happening this Saturday, July 12th at 3pm EST. Fans have been curious if Ross will appear, especially after his May announcement about being diagnosed with colon cancer, which has deeply concerned wrestling enthusiasts worldwide.
Khan spoke highly of “Good Ol’ JR,” acknowledging Ross’s crucial role in AEW’s identity and success during an interview with “TMZ Sports.” He stated, “Jim Ross is an integral part of AEW. He is the greatest wrestling commentator of all time. I heard JR when I was eight years old. Throughout the early days of Dynamite, he has faced some serious health challenges. It’s important to support Jim.”
When asked specifically about Ross’s participation at the commentary desk, Khan was cautiously optimistic, saying, “That’s amazing. I don’t want to pressure Jim too much, but it would be incredible, and I hope it happens. Jim seems to be making strong progress in his recovery.”
For now, fans will have to wait until Saturday to find out whether the iconic announcer will be part of AEW’s biggest show.
Fan Take: Jim Ross’s possible return to a major AEW event is significant for wrestling fans, as his voice and presence have shaped the sport for decades. His involvement could not only boost AEW’s show but also inspire hope and strength in the wrestling community, reminding fans of the legacy and passion that keep wrestling alive.
