Jim Ross made an unexpected trip to the emergency room on Thursday morning.
Ross wrote on Twitter that he was admitted to the ER in Norman, Oklahoma, where he maintains a home. He said the cause was shortness of breath, but declined to offer any other details about his condition.
“Unexpected trip to ER in Norman this morning,” Ross wrote on Twitter. “Shortness of the breath. That’s all for now.”
Jim Ross was initially scheduled to be at Sunday’s AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view event in Las Vegas this weekend. It’s currently unknown if those plans will stay intact. WrestleZone will update the situation as more information is learned.
“I’m still doing what I love.”
During a recent interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Ross was optimistic about his health and said this was the best he’s felt in more than a year.
“My health is better than it’s been in over a year. I’m happy to say,” Jim Ross said. “My right hip, that’s healing and getting better. My radiation wound from skin cancer–and I’m cancer-free–is still healing. Vaping has helped. It’s allowed me to stop taking pain medication and get me through the night. I’m feeling good. And I’m still doing what I love.”
Ross also said that it’s “realistic” to think this will be his last year as a commentator, telling his Grilling JR audience that it’s to be determined, but “more than likely” will be.
