Jim Ross Recovering After Successful Cancer Surgery

Jim Ross is on the road to recovery.

On May 15, Jim Ross announced that he’d been diagnosed with colon cancer and would soon be undergoing surgery.

He later revealed that his surgery was scheduled for May 27, and the wrestling world collectively crossed its fingers for the announcing legend. But thankfully, there’s been some good news on Ross’ condition.

Writing on social media, Ross’ friend and podcast co-host Conrad Thompson wrote the surgery had gone well and doctors were hopeful that all cancer had been removed.

Jim Ross Has No Plans To Retire

In the days leading up to the surgery, Jim Ross was in a fighting mood, stating that he had no plans to retire, despite his latest setback. The WWE Hall of Famer went on to pay tribute to Tony Khan and the entire Khan family for their support during this difficult period.

JR has previously revealed that his current AEW contract ends in August, and he hoped to be on the call at All In Texas in July.

Ross began his wrestling career as a referee back in 1974, before picking up the microphone for Mid-South Wrestling, Jim Crockett Promotions, WCW, WWE, NJPW, and currently AEW.
