Jim Ross speaks about Steve Austin’s WrestleMania 41 mishap

Stone Cold Steve Austin had a minor mishap at WrestleMania 41, where he rammed his ATV into the barricade, injuring a fan.

Jim Ross also spoke out about it, stating that it did not surprise him. On his Grilling JR podcast, he said:

“I saw the video. Didn't surprise me. I thought it was passed its time. It was bound to happen at some point in time. But Steve was a welcome addition. He added a lot to the event. He's still a dear friend and I have a lot of time for Steve Austin. [I] have had for years, you know, since day one. So good for him. He added a lot to WrestleMania, and I'm sure glad he got to make an appearance, as he adds so much to any event that he's able to be involved in.[...] He's done so much for the pro wrestling business, It's hard to put into words what he's meant to pro wrestling. And so I'm a Stone Cold fan. Always will be.”

Stone Cold Steve Austin and the rest of the wrestling community will be praying for the recovery of the veteran commentator.
