Jim Ross is regarded as one of the greatest pro wrestling commentators of all time

Jim Ross has been one of the greatest to ever do commentary in the pro wrestling industry. Mostly known for his work with WWE, Ross is currently signed with AEW and is still going strong as the promotion's primary commentator, even though he is about to enter his 70s.

Ross had been working with WWE since the early Attitude Era. He has also competed inside a WWE ring in the past and courtesy of his work with the company, JR has often been labeled as the voice of professional wrestling.

In the past, Ross has also worked for notable companies such as New Japan Pro Wrestling and World Championship Wrestling. But it was in 2019 when it was announced that Ross had signed a three-year deal with AEW as a commentator and a senior advisor. JR is mostly accompanied by fellow veteran Tony Schiavone and Excalibur on commentary in All Elite Wrestling.

Everyone at Sportskeeda Wrestling would like to wish Jim Ross a speedy recovery.
