WWE Hall of Famer and AEW commentator Jim Ross has faced several health issues over the past few years, notably undergoing brain surgery to have a shunt inserted. Additionally, he battled skin cancer in 2021.
During an episode of his podcast “Grilling JR,” Ross discussed various topics, including a recent medical procedure where biopsies were taken from moles found on his back.
This is what Jim Ross said, “I was told that I had like seven or eight moles on my back that they were concerned about. ‘Well what we have to do today is numb your back around all those areas that you have multiple moles, some are very tiny, there’s a couple good size ones in there and we’ll numb you up,’ which creates an opportunity for an injection. My poor fat a** old body is so tired of injections, because it’s been like that all summer. So, they numbed me up. I was miserable and cranky. I was a cranky f***ing old man.”
On getting back to his old self:
“I’m going to do all I can to get 100%. I don’t know if I’ll ever be 100% again, but I’m going to be close. And me close to 100%, and on top of my game, I’m a bad man.”
