Jim Ross undergoing colon cancer surgery tomorrow morning

Hall of Famer Jim Ross gave an update on his health in the latest episode of the Grilling JR podcast.

Ross is undergoing surgery tomorrow morning at 6AM and said he was not in currently any pain. Doctors told him that the plan is to stay in recovery in hospital for the following six days, after which he can go home barring any complications.

JR said that he prepared himself mentally and physically for this, which is always stressful when it involves surgery.

When asked by his co-host Conrad Thompson to explain the cancer situation, JR forgot which cancer he has and when Thompson mentioned colon cancer, he said no because he had that years ago. But, JR announced he was diagnosed with colon cancer over a week ago.

“I can’t remember what I got. I got it in two places,” Ross said.

JR likened his body to an old car, running it for too long and too hard. “I’m trying to really slow down after surgery,” he said, adding that he believes he can still do the shifts he had with AEW but he’s not sure anyone believes that.

Ross said he will probably talk to Tony Khan over the next few weeks to see where he stands and put over Khan for taking care of him ever since he signed with AEW.
