All Elite Wrestling commentator Jim Ross recently opened up about his battle with skin cancer last year on hisĀ Grilling JR podcast this week, and has said despite being cranky sometimes due to some lingering pain, he is "loving life" in AEW.
āIām loving life. Iām very blessed and Iām healthy. I took my 22nd radiation treatment in the morning here in Jacksonville. All the treatments were in Jacksonville. That night we had our show at Dailyās Place. I had made it a personal challenge from J.R. to J.R. that Iām going to get that last treatment, Iām going to come home and shower, Iām getting my fat ass to work, and I was on the air that night. I knew that it was going to take a certain amount of health and healing and good luck for all of that to work together. Thatās how much I love the business. I came back 30 days early because I didnāt want to miss anymore. My opportunities for AEW and Tony Khan, with all the guys there, Iām very blessed to have this situation in my lap, and as long as I can still do my work and not embarrass myself, as long as I can deliver, why not? What else am I going to do? This is my life. All Iām doing is living my life and Iām loving every damn minute of it. I really appreciate everybodyās support and patience with me over time. Sometimes Iām a little cranky, but you have to understand that Iām never pain free anymore. Thatās what is challenging.ā
