WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross shared on social media today that he has been diagnosed with colon cancer and is scheduled to undergo surgery within the next two weeks to remove the tumor. Ross has battled a number of health issues lately, ending up in hospital due to breathing issues, dealing with skin cancer, hip surgery and of course his much documented struggle with Bell’s Palsy.

Diagnosed this week with colon cancer.
Surgery being scheduled in the next week or two.
I appreciate your concern and support.
🙏
