Ric Flair Deletes Controversial Jim Ross Tweet, Doubles Down Anyway

Ric Flair certainly enjoys spending plenty of his time embroiled in controversies, and his latest one stems from just one tweet. Following the news of Jim Ross’ cancer treatment being a success, with him being treated for colon cancer, Ric Flair decided to give his two cents on the situation in a tweet. 

“Jim Ross Will Always Be Jim Ross, Seeking Attention. Focus On Your Recovery @JRsBBQ”

Flair received a lot of backlash and slack from those on social media who deemed the comment unnecessary, insensitive, and offensive. The multi-time world champion would delete the tweet shortly after the wave of criticism emerged. However, Flair would return to X with another post - not to apologise, but instead to double down. 

“If You Can’t Take A Joke From A 76 Year Old Man, Then You Are Living Life Too Seriously. It Was All Harmless, Lighthearted Fun! Just Trying To Make People Laugh & Smile!”

Flair and Ross have had known beef and issues for many years, so it isn’t known whether or not Flair’s original post was indeed light hearted. Ross has suffered from a litany of medical issues over the last few years, being diagnosed with cancer more than once, breaking his hip, and being hospitalised for numerous reasons.
