Jim Ross is a legend in the pro wrestling business for is work behind the scenes and on commentary. He worked almost everywhere such WCW, WWE and now AEW.

On the Grilling JR podcast, Ross said some have remarks been real harsh. He has even had people claiming he suffered a medical issue and are now threatening his life.

“[People said] I’ve had a stroke, by the way I’ve never had a stroke but that’s been diagnosed on the internet from my faupaux, I’ve had a stroke,” said Ross. “I’ve had a battle with Bell’s Palsy.” 

“Actually, had three bouts with Bell’s Palsy. That I have onset dementia, which wouldn’t surprise me, it’s going to happen to everybody some ways or another.”

People Called For Death To Jim Ross 

“But, man I got everything on that thing from people wanting me to die. Here’s what’s sad about that deal, it’s not about my mispronouncing, this is a much bigger issue in my opinion.” 

“That’s all this is folks, my opinion. It’s the flavor of the country right now, it’s just where we are and it’s sad, I don’t even know what you call it, the cancel culture.” 

“It was a little rugged. The thing about it is people misquote information, without any thought, there’s no conscious involved.”

“It’s not the fact that I might get this right if I say JR has onset dementia, but then what if you’re wrong? How do you pull that back in? Well, it’s out there so you don’t pull it back in.”

Ross has called plenty of big moments in pro wrestling. Therefore, everyone makes mistakes and he cannot be belittled for a small error on live TV.

In short, wishing death upon someone is absurd and should be criminal. So, a great show by AEW despite some fans focusing on one mistake.
