Jim Ross is once again facing a major health scare. The legendary wrestler commentator, who currently works with All Elite Wrestling, revealed he has been diagnosed with colon cancer on X on Thursday afternoon.
“Diagnosed this week with colon cancer,” Ross’ post read. “Surgery being scheduled in the next week or two. I appreciate your concern and support.”
Ross is most famous for his two-decade-long stint in WWE from 1993 to 2013, where he served along with color commentator Jerry Lawler during the iconic “Attitude Era.” While that WWE run may be what most fans know Ross for, he cut his teeth working for a variety of territories and wrestling promotions, including Mid-South Wrestling, Jim Crocket Promotions, and World Championship Wrestling.
Ross has had previous health issues. Ross announced that he had been diagnosed with skin cancer in 2021, and in February 2024 posted on X that he had undergone cancer surgery on his right hip. He also lives with Bell’s palsy, a condition that causes temporary weakness or paralysis of the facial muscles on one side of the face.
Ross signed with AEW in 2019, though various health issues have led to him temporarily taking time away from the commentary desk due to various health issues. In addition to his current AEW responsibilities on the commentary desk, Ross also serves as an analyst and senior advisor.

Kratochvílová přišla po 43 letech o rekord slavného mítinku
Návrat do špičkové formy předvedla na čtvrtce Salva Ajd Násirová reprezentující Bahrajn. V čase 48,70 s vyhrála diamantovou trofej s více než půlsekundovým náskokem, rychleji běžela letos jen ona sama začátkem dubna.V historických tabulkách mítinku tak po dlouhých 43 letech vystřídala na čele českou legendu Jarmilu Kratochvílovou, její výkon z roku 1982 překonala o 16 setin. Pod 49 sekund se rodačka z Nigérie dostala po čtvrté v letošní sezoně. Mistryně světa z Dauhá 2019 v letech 2021 až 2023 nemohla závodit po trestu za porušení antidopingových pravidel.„Bála jsem se velké zimy, ale nakonec je fakt hezky,“ pochvalovala si Násirová, že alespoň na úvod mítinku nevyšly předpovědi meteorologů. „Zase jsem získala sebevědomí, to jsem před Tokiem potřebovala,“ cenila si skalpu olympijské vítězky Marileidy Paulinové z Dominikánské republiky, která měla v posledních závodech navrch.V Curychu se bojuje kromě trofejí o prémie ve výši třicet až padesát tisíc dolarů pro vítěze a také o divoké karty pro světový šampionát.

Gabriel pomohl Midtjyllandu k postupu, utkání ale nedohrál kvůli zranění
Midtjylland si přivezl z domácího hřiště náskok 4:0 a trenér Thomasberg si mohl dovolit změny v sestavě. Do základní jedenáctky se tak dostal i český obránce, který v prvním utkání nehrál. Hostům navíc pomohlo vyloučení obránce Lötjönena. Početní převahu po změně stran zužitkovali Brazilec Brumado z penalty a Turek Simsir. Gabriel byl v 73. minutě střídán pro zranění.Odvetná utkání 4. předkola fotbalové Evropské ligy:Kuopio (Fin.) - Midtjylland 0:2 (0:0), první zápas 0:4, postoupil Midtjylland

Deion Sanders, Nick Saban Call for NFL-style Playoff Bonuses for College Players
Leave it to Deion Sanders to come up with an idea for the College Football Playoff that nobody has really mentioned yet: Pay the players for making the tournament, and pay them more when their teams win.If they do that, then "now it’s equality, now it’s even and every player is making the same amount of money," the Colorado coach said.Sanders and former Alabama coach Nick Saban talked to The Associated Press as part of their unveiling of a new Aflac commercial that rolls out this week with a storyboard ripped from today’s headlines: It opens with Sanders complaining: "This game has gotten out of control. All the money. All the unpredictability."He is talking about health insurance, of course, and the commissioner he wants to see run it isn’t Saban, but that kooky duck who wears the same powder-blue sportscoat […]

Bills Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas Says Josh Allen ‘Can Win Two Super Bowls’
<!--> [--> Eric Williams NFL Reporter <!--> --> Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Thurman Thomas was the engine for one of the most dominant offenses in NFL history, helping to lead the Buffalo Bills to four straight Super Bowls in the early 1990s.
