Jim Ross recently underwent extensive radiation treatment for skin cancer which he revealed last month he had beaten.
During the latest episode of āGrilling JRā on AdFreeShows.com, the WWE Hall of Famer provided an update on his health:Ā
āI have had to tolerate a lot of pain and flying is the sh*ts. We all got to be careful. When I go get on a plane Iāll make sure I got plenty of [cream] on my burn and I have it wrapped and protected. But boy, itās a pain in the ass to fly, Iāll tell you. You know what Iāve been doing? People are gonna probably laugh at me and someone seen me go through the airport. Iāve been ordering a wheelchair. Walking is a killer, it just kills it. So Iāve been getting the wheelchair at the airport on both ends. So they picked me up, my driver picks me up here at home and takes him to the airport where I meet the wheelchair guy who now Iāve become buddies with. Theyāre all fans. They all like my $10 and $20 tips. So Iām very popular when they see me coming. Because I think most of the old people that have wheelchairs are tipping them like in ones or something into that denomination. So thatās taken a load off of me. So when I get off the plane, and weāre going like, this week, as we tape this, itāll be Washington DC, which has very, very strict COVID rules and regulations. So thatās helped me a lot I feel. When I first did it (using a wheelchair), I guess my ego was getting involved. I didnāt want people staring at me because Iām sailing though the airport in the wheelchair in that f**king black hat.ā
āSo itās nice if people pay attention. This ankle thing is not a work. Iām really am in this bad way. But Iām on my way to work at eight oāclock tonight. As we were speaking on Wednesday. Iām ready to kick ass. Thatās great medicine for me, quite frankly. It may sound corny, but itās a great medicine for me to because once I get there, and we start going over the show and getting ready to go on the air, it takes my mind off how much Iām hurting. I have medication and sometimes I get a shot. I got to do what it takes me to get on the air. I feel some obligation to the folks who watch the show. They donāt want me to half ass it [and come across like itās] something Iām not ready to do or I donāt care about or Iām distracted.ā
We wish Jim Ross all the best in his recovery.
