In the latest episode of his Grilling JR podcast on AdFreeShows, Jim Ross provided an update on his health, noting that he is hopeful of returning before the AEW All In: London event, or potentially sooner.

“I had a rough week on my leg, I’m not changing doctors, I’m just adding to doctors, I went to one doctor and he said, I have to get you to a specialist that can give you an antibiotic shot, I said why can’t you do it and they said that’s not what I do. They recommended me to this guy, it’s been a challenging week, I think we’ve made some improvements, we have a good game plan, I just need a break, I need a break in the action and move on. It will happen, I have good doctors and good care, if I don’t get the results that we’re looking for, I’ll go to the Mayo Clinic and start over and see where it takes us. I’m okay, it’s going to be alright, it’s just frustrating as heck to have to deal with this every day. My sciatic, I didn’t realize how crippling that is, it’s been driving me crazy, it was three days to where I had a hard time even walking to the bathroom, it’s not been good the last week or two, but I see improvement, I see the direction and I have hope that it’s going to be fine.

That’s where we are, it’s just one of those deals, I don’t have any timetable on returning to work, I have to get better. I can’t start travelling again, they’re worried about infection and being on an airplane, or at an airport with an open wound, which is not ideal. It will work out, I’m positive, I’m optimistic, I want to get back at the booth doing something. I don’t know if I’m going back on Collision, my debut on Collision was not very auspicious, because of my voice, which I still don’t get. It’s interesting that the doctor said that it might be stress induced and I said that’s a weird analogy, but stress being because of my illness. I have a lot to be thankful for, and it’s all going to be good, I just have to make it good. I really want to make Wembley, right now I don’t know if I can, but I hope so. I don’t want to say I have a target date, but you have to have some kind of goal and Wembley is my goal. I hope I’m back before then, but certainly Wembley is something that I want to be a part of.”
