Jim Ross announced on Thursday night that he would be taking at least a month off of AEW TV to undergo 22 radiation treatments for skin cancer starting Monday.
JR said that he hopes to be back for the December 29 Dynamite in Jacksonville.
Due to my skin cancer care totaling 22 radiation treatments starting Monday, I will hopefully return to the announce desk on December 29 in Jacksonville.
@TonyKhan supports me on this strategy which has been a blessing.
My thanks for all your support. 🙏🤠
