Legendary wrestling commentator Jim Ross has told fans that he has colon cancer and is soon to undergo a lifesaving operation.
TMZ reported that the AEW announcer informed fans in a post on X on Thursday that he has surgery scheduled in a few weeks.
“I appreciate your concern and support,” Ross said in the post.
The colon cancer is just one more medical problem the 73-year-old has faced over the years.
Ross has also suffered from Bell’s Palsy, skin cancer, respiratory issues, and a hip operation.
Ross’s wife passed in March of 2017 after falling from her Vespa and was then hit by a car that was driving behind her on the road. She suffered multiple skull fractures and did not recover from emergency surgery.
