AEW commentator Jim Ross revealed on this week’s episode of
his Grilling JR podcast that he fell last weekend prior to
flying to New York for Double or Nothing, describing the
whole weekend as “not a good one” for him.
Ross said that his travel person arranged for a Saturday 6AM
pick up to fly to New York, something that he lamented
because he found no reason why he would he go to NY so early
for a pay-per-view which only starts on Sunday night.
“It makes no sense. You know…I’m not 17 anymore,” Ross said.
But JR missed his flight because he fell in his home and his
phone was not with him to get help.
“If I had my phone with me, I could have got a little bit of
help. As a result of that, I missed my flight,” Ross
recounted.
After arriving in his room and then having a drink with
fellow commentator Excalibur, Ross said that he went back to
his hotel room and his back locked up.
“I laid on the bed, put my ass on the edge of the bed, and
just relaxed. Well…little did I know, my back was going to
go out on me,” Ross continued. “So now I’m in the hotel with
my back out and I can’t function. So it was just a horrible
experience.”
JR only did commentary for one match, the one between Jon
Moxley and Kyle O’Reilly, and said that if he had known
before that he would be flown in just for one match, he
would have talked to Tony Khan about it.
JR said that he has to find a doctor now because of his
several falls, while also dealing with a neurologist about
his dementia/Alzheimer’s risk.
He said that he’s feeling really sore and he has the worst
luck sometimes.
“I got to find the right doctor that can get me back
rolling, because my legs are really weak. And on Saturday
morning, one of my legs just went out from under me. It went
like a piece of spaghetti,” Ross added. “So…anyhow, flying
back, I could have stayed home, maybe I should have. But I
like working, and I love pro wrestling!”
