Legendary wrestling commentator Jim Ross has battled his share of health problems over the past several months, landing in hospital on multiple occasions. Most recently, Ross underwent surgery to have cancerous tumors removed but made it a goal to be able to attend AEW All In: Texas.

Not only did he end up at the show, but JR was able to call a couple matches, however, as he detailed below on his podcast, it almost never happened due to a fall he took on the Thursday before the event:

“I’m still recovering from Dallas. I had a bad fall on Thursday night in my hotel room and I was lucky. I wasn’t down for the count, but I had a hell of a fall and soft tissue. I didn’t break anything, I don’t think, but I had a bad fall in my hotel room, and I didn’t have my phone because, as you know, I had left my phone in an Uber and I didn’t have any way of communicating with anybody. I just went to bed. And it was challenging.”

“I was still sore, to this very minute, I’m still sore. So it was quite the ordeal. That’s the only negative thing I could say is that I had a bad fall, and I survived it. I’m still today, I’m still sore as hell. The older you get, the slower you heal. And that’s kind of my situation right now, just slow to heal. But I’ll make it. I’ll be alright. It’s not the first time that’s happened to me.”
