During the latest episode of his Grilling JR podcast with Conrad Thompson, WWE Hall of Famer and AEW Broadcaster Jim Ross provided an update on his brain surgery and his current contract status with AEW.
Ross said his brain surgery is scheduled for Wednesday, August 12 in Norman, Oklahoma. He said he is going to have a shunt in his brain and that he was told the hospital stay will only be for one day.
“I got a big week coming up. My surgery is this Wednesday in Norman. I don’t way to say I’m looking forward to it, but I guess I really am to get to that point and get it over with. I’ve never had brain surgery before. They’re going to put what they call a shunt, so I’m getting a shunt put in my brain. They say I’m only going to be in the hospital for a day. That surprised me and made me happy, but still, I would’ve guessed longer.”
When discussing his contract status with AEW, Ross said he thinks his current deal with the company is expiring sometime this month. Ross added that he doesn’t want to be done with the company, but if Tony Khan chooses not to renew his deal, he has no problem with that.
“I hope that my ending, my career ending is planned, so I just don’t show up one Wednesday night on Dynamite and say, ‘Well, I got some news for you folks, I’m done.’ That might sound cool and edgy, but I would like to be able to know that I’m leaving. I think that’s important for my psyche. Maybe I’m looking at it wrongly, but in any event, that’s what I’m thinking. Just to have a good, clean ending. If I can pull that off — I’ve done everything else. I’ve done every major event for every major promoter of the last how many years? 40? I’ve had a blessed career. I’ve been battling some health issues. I’m getting a stunt put in my brain on Wednesday. So, we’ll see how that works out, no pun intended. I’ve had a unique life and I realize that it’s coming to an end, I get it. If you ask me, JR, how much longer do you think you’re going to do announcing — well, I think my contract is up this month. I’m done just pretty much. I don’t want to be done, but if Tony Khan said, ‘JR, thanks for the efforts and thanks for being here’, then I would have no problem with that. How could I be such a greedy bastard and want more in my career than I’ve already received. Sometimes, you get stumbled on to a great job and a great career. My career as a wrestling broadcaster has been nothing but wonderful.”
