As noted before, AEW commentator Jim Ross was scheduled to undergo brain surgery today to deal with a health issue that has affected his memory since his recent lengthy hospital stay for an undisclosed medical issue.
Grilling JR podcast co-host Conrad Thompson provided an update earlier today on Twitter announcing that Ross’ daughter stated that he had underwent successful brain surgery. Thompson also stated that Ross should be back home from the hospital before the end of the week.
“Happy to report that our pal @JRsBBQ had a successful procedure this morning!
I heard from his lovely daughter this morning that everything went well and good ole JR is expected to be back home by Friday! đź¤
Please keep JR in your prayers as we hope for a speedy recovery!”
