Last month, All Elite Wrestling announcer Jim Ross announced he had been diagnosed with colon cancer. Former WWE star "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, along with AEW’s Jeff Jarrett on the "My World" podcast, offered words of support and encouragement to Ross during this difficult time.
Jeff Jarrett shared his close connection with Ross, describing their relationship as one built over many years and various wrestling eras. He fondly referred to Ross as "Uncle Jim" and expressed admiration for his long-standing dedication to wrestling. Jarrett emphasized that Ross is known for his genuine passion in serving wrestling fans and noted that hearing about Ross not retiring has been uplifting.
Ross recently updated that his surgery was successful, and he is now recovering at home, feeling strong according to his social media posts. He remains determined to keep calling AEW pay-per-views, including the upcoming AEW event on July 12th, and has no plans to retire at this stage despite recent health challenges.
Fan Take: AEW fans should feel reassured by Jim Ross’s resilience and commitment to continue contributing to the sport. His ongoing presence not only enriches AEW broadcasts but also symbolizes the enduring spirit and dedication that elevates professional wrestling.
