WWE legend Jim Ross rushed to hospital as wrestling stars send best wishes to iconic announcer
WWE legend Jim Ross has been rushed to hospital after being short of breath.
He took to social media to confirm his visit to Norman, Oklahoma.
He wrote: “Unexpected trip to ER in Norman this morning. Shortness of the breath. That’s all for now.”
Ross, 72, is best known for providing commentary on WWE between 1993 and 2013.
His 1.7million flooded the comment section to wish him well.
One fan posted: “Love ya, Jim. Sending prayers your way my friend.”
A second commented: “Hope everything’s okay buddy.”
A third wrote: “Oh no, I hope this is nothing serious. Love ya.”
A fourth said: “Hope you’re good. God bless you.”
A fifth added: “Praying for you JR.”
He returned to the sport in 2017 for a two-year spell.
He is currently signed with All Elite Wrestling having joined for its first show in 2019.
It is not Ross’ first health scare, as he announced he was cancer-free in 2021.
He announced he was battling skin cancer two months before he was given the all-clear but was left with sores.
Ross was married to Jan Grillette between 1993 and 2017 until she tragically died two days after a vehicle accident.
He is mostly known by wrestling fans as JR and was part of a long-standing commentary duo with Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler.
The pair worked together for several years on Monday Night RAW.
