The AEW All In pay-per-view is set to air live from Wembley Stadium on Sunday and some of the biggest names in All Elite Wrestling will be appearing at the event. However, the legendary Jim Ross has ruled out an appearance at the show.
While talking about his recovery on Grilling JR, Jim Ross stated that he recently fell, and he’s been using a walker at home to help him get around.
“I’m doing pretty good. Doing pretty good. Healing slowly but surely, but, you know, I’m just fighting, fighting through it. I fell two nights ago in my bedroom, and I fell into my bench. Jan bought a little bench that she sat at the end of our bed so that her cat could get in the bed easier, and it’s still there. But when I fell, I broke the son of a b***h and crashed and burned. My handyman came over and repaired it. So now it’s solid, like I told you, Connie. You and I can sit on it now with no problem. So, that didn’t do me any favors. It’s falling to s**t, man. If I take my time and don’t get in any big hurry, especially when I change direction, I do pretty good. If I don’t take my time, I go right back to that walker. And using a walker in your own home is humbling. It’s humbling.”
Jim Ross also confirmed that he will not be appearing at AEW All In this weekend when he said, “Both my brain surgeon and another doctor confided and said, ‘You need to stay your a** off the airplane, ’cause if you fall or get hurt, they got to make an emergency landing, or you fall in London and you got to go to a London hospital. It’s not worth the risk.’ I understand it. I’m disappointed. Very disappointed. And I’ll be watching for sure. But, that’s the way it goes sometimes.”
