Jim Ross experienced ‘a hell of a fall’ days before AEW All In

Posted: Jul 17th 2025 By: Josh Nason

Less than two days before he was set to make his anticipated return to AEW, announcer Jim Ross experienced what he called “a bad fall” in his hotel room.

Ross revealed the news in the opening moments of his Grillin’ JR podcast Wednesday, saying he is “still recovering from Dallas” before going into the story.

He joked he was lucky he “went down for the count” and that it was “a hell of a fall.” He said he thinks his discomfort was “a soft tissue thing” but didn’t think he broke anything, indicating he may have not been checked out by medical personnel.

To make matters worse, Ross said he didn’t have his phone to call for help as he had left it in an Uber.

“I didn’t have any way of communicating with anybody. I just went to bed and it was challenging. I’m still sore,” he explained. “It was quite the ordeal. That’s the only negative thing I can say (about the weekend.)”

Despite the injury, Ross still made his Friday meet and greet session as part of Starrcast as well as commentating the last two matches of Saturday’s All In.

The 73-year-old recently underwent successful surgery to remove colon cancer.
