Jim Ross To Undergo 'Fairly Serious' Brain Surgery

Jim Ross said the procedure is not optional if he wants to recover, after an almost 40-day hospital stay.

  • On Thursday, Jim Ross, a WWE Hall of Famer and AEW commentator, announced he is preparing for brain surgery during a recent edition of his Grilling JR podcast.
  • Ross noted that memory loss began after he passed out at home, leading to an almost 40-day hospital stay earlier this year that prompted the surgical decision.
  • The upcoming procedure will use a shunt to drain fluid from his brain, a process Ross described as "fairly serious." If successful, he expects only a two-day hospital stay.
  • Widely regarded as one of the greatest play-by-play announcers in wrestling history, Ross is best known as the voice of WWE's Attitude Era. His AEW appearances have been sporadic due to health challenges.
  • Ross stated, "It's not optional if I want to get better," describing the upcoming surgery as "a whole new ball game." He remains committed to his recovery.
