Jim Ross Suffered Painful Fall Just Before AEW All In: Texas

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross revealed that he’s actually recovering after he had a bad fall in his hotel room during AEW All In: Texas weekend.

While speaking on Grilling JR, Jim Ross revealed that the incident took place on Thursday night before the event. It was actually made worse by the fact that he didn’t have his phone with him since he had left it in an Uber and couldn’t call for help.

Ross described it as a “hell of a fall” and said while he doesn’t believe he broke anything, it was still serious enough to leave him dealing with soft tissue damage and major soreness. With no way to communicate, Ross said he just went to bed afterwards and got through it the best he could.

“I’m still recovering from Dallas. I had a bad fall on Thursday night in my hotel room. And I was lucky. I wasn’t down for the count, but I had a hell of a fall and soft tissue… I didn’t break anything, I don’t think, but I had a bad fall in my hotel room, and I didn’t have my phone because, as you know, I had left my phone in an Uber and I didn’t have any way of communicating with anybody. I just went to bed. And it was challenging.”

Good ol’ JR admitted he’s still sore and that the healing process has been slow due to his age. Despite the ordeal, Ross stayed positive, saying he’ll be fine and that this isn’t the first time something like this has happened to him.

“I was still sore, to this very minute, I’m still sore. So it was quite the ordeal. That’s the only negative thing I could say is that I had a bad fall, and I survived it. I’m still today, I’m still sore as hell. The older you get, the slower you heal. And that’s kind of my situation right now, just slow to heal. But I’ll make it. I’ll be alright. It’s not the first time that’s happened to me.”

Thankfully, just two days after the fall, Jim Ross still returned to the commentary desk for AEW All In since he got to call the epic match between Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada and fans truly respect him for that.
