Jim Ross Experienced "Bad Fall" Days Before AEW All In 2025

Legendary announcer Jim Ross made his return to AEW at this past weekend's All In Texas pay-per-view, receiving a standing ovation for his first appearance since taking time off to undergo colon cancer surgery.

Now cancer-free, Good ol' JR was on hand to call the show's final two matches. However, Ross showed up at Globe Life Field feeling the worse for wear after experiencing a bad fall days beforehand.

On a recent edition of his Grilling JR podcast, the 73-year-old spoke about the incident and how he's feeling now.

"I'm still recovering from Dallas. I had a bad fall on Thursday night in my hotel room. And I was lucky. I wasn't down for the count, but I had a hell of a fall and soft tissue… I didn't break anything, I don't think, but I had a bad fall in my hotel room, and I didn't have my phone because, as you know, I had left my phone in an Uber and I didn't have any way of communicating with anybody. I just went to bed. And it was challenging", Ross said.

On how he feels days removed from the fall, Ross added:

"I was still sore, to this very minute, I'm still sore. So it was quite the ordeal. That's the only negative thing I could say is that I had a bad fall, and I survived it. I'm still today, I'm still sore as hell. The older you get, the slower you heal. And that's kind of my situation right now, just slow to heal. But I'll make it. I'll be alright. It’s not the first time that's happened to me".

Tony Khan recently referred to JR as an 'indispensable' part of AEW.
