Jim Ross back in hospital "due to low oxygen"

6 days ago by siv9939 to c/squaredcircle

Less than one week after a second brain operation, Jim Ross is back in hospital.

On Monday evening, the veteran broadcaster posted on X that he was back in the hospital β€œdue to low oxygen”, adding that his weight was 198 pounds.

Ross has undergone a pair of operations on his brain over the past two months. In August, he had a shunt inserted to address problems he was experiencing regarding his memory and balance. Last week, he had a second procedure, which he stated was to address an issue with the shunt.

His health issues have been well documented, as Ross has also dealt with colon and skin cancer in recent years.

The 74-year-old last appeared on an AEW broadcast at Double or Nothing this past May.

Here's hoping he can get all his issues sorted out.

The medical events are becoming more frequent. This guy refuses to kick out.

I'm getting the feeling that we better enjoy all the JR we can get right now. Hoping for the best for him, but preparing for the worst.

Look, I don't even care about wrestling anymore, I just saw this because I browse /all, but I remember "Good ole JR" from back when he was with Jerry "The King" Lawler on WWE. Always liked his work as an announcer. I wish him all the best. Haven't watched in years, but this really sucks to hear.

He's been battling various issues for the last couple of years. Seems when one is resolved another one comes up. Poor dude has been caught in some game of medical whack-a-mole.

This is the "official" Fediverse community for all things pro wrestling!

Come discuss pro wrestling! Any company or era is welcome.

Please ensure you have NSFW posts enabled or you may miss out on some threads. Bots are not used in this community.

Rules: (Click to expand)

**1. Be Civil.**

Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.

**2. Keep content related to wrestling.**

Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.

**3. Spoilers.**

Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it's there for a reason. Should your post involve a url to a spoiler (Twitter, YouTube video, etc) please mark the thread as NSFW as well so thumbnails are blurred or just link the content in the body of the post.

**4. Vague/Editorialized Title.**

Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It's ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.

**5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.**

Please do not post any pornographic, 'creep shot', or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo's wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren't.

**6. Banned Source(s)/Websites.**

Due not necessarily to the content of their reporting, but to their harassing and doxxing of users, the following news sources, journalists, and content creators are not permitted to be posted on SquaredCircle in any context - including direct links, articles, social media, and reports that cite only those sources:

  • WrestleVotes
  • RingSideNews
  • Brad Shepard
  • Billi Bhatti and "The Dirty Sheets"
  • Any post or article citing one of the above as a primary source.

Also due to technical issues, bigotry/extremism, and various other issues, we do not accept URL submissions from the following websites:

Any posts/comments may be removed at the discretion of the moderation team.
