In the comments, several names from the world of professional wrestling shared their best wishes with the wrestling commentary legend. Former AEW wrestler Joey Janela encouraged JR to “feel better” while Rob Van Dam, who appeared on this week’s Dynamite, shared a hands in prayer emoji. Chris Van Vliet of the popular Insight podcast added that he was wishing Jim a very speedy recovery.
Ross’ current contract with All Elite Wrestling expires on February 14th. He’s been very open about wanting to re-sign so he can “finish up his career in AEW.”
JR’s Cancer Battle
JR has battled skin cancer multiple times in his life. He first underwent a skin procedure in 2016 and two years later, shared that the cancer had been completely removed from his shoulder. The WWE Hall of Famer was diagnosed with skin cancer again in October 2021. After this diagnosis, Bret Hart, who has battled and beaten cancer himself, was one of the first people to reach out to Ross. On December 29, of that year, he would share the news that he was cancer free.
We here at SE Scoops would like to wish Jim Ross a full and speedy recovery.
