WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross wrote a blog this weekend announcing that he’d be undergoing stomach surgery later this week. Ross also noted that his online BBQ store is temporarily closing.
On the surgery, Ross wrote the following:
“I will be undergoing abdominal surgery this week. I am bothered by a traumatic incisional hernia that needs to be addressed. My surgeon is the same one who performed colon surgery, and no, not the beloved Dr. Heiney, a few years ago on me. He’s a great doctor who actually was a former Oklahoma Sooner footballer back in his college days.
This issue evolved just over the past 3-4 months and I’m told that getting it repaired now would be timely and prevent other related health issues going forward.”
