A top WWE legend has been shaping the professional wrestling business with his contributions for years. Even amidst battling major health issues, he still has plans to continue in the industry.
The legend from the Sports Entertainment juggernaut, who is currently signed with AEW, is Jim Ross. The WWE Hall of Famer has been dealing with health concerns since last year, but came out stronger each time.
A few weeks ago, Good Ol' JR revealed that he had been diagnosed with colon cancer and was set to undergo treatment. A day before his surgery, Ross stated on his podcast, Grillin JR, that he did not plan to retire despite his condition. Instead, he wanted to come back to do something after getting healthy.
