Jim Ross is considered by many to be the voice of wrestling, but the Hall of Famer has unfortunately been dealing with health issues in recent years. Over the summer Jim Ross underwent successful brain surgery, and now it seems that he unfortunately has to undergo surgery once again.
Today Conrad Thompson announced that Jim Ross is set to undergo shunt surgery when he posted the following announcement:
“Good ole JR is having shunt surgery this morning.
Let’s all pray for his speedy recovery! 🙏
Jim deserves a break.
@JRsBBQ is tagged here so send some positive vibes his way so when he’s in recovery, his timeline is flooded with positive. ♥️”

When All Elite Wrestling first launched in 2019, Jim Ross had a consistent presence on AEW programming. Unfortunately his health issues have resulted in more time on the sidelines for JR than time at the announce booth in recent years.
From all of us here at Still Real To Us, we wish Jim Ross a speedy recovery.
