Jim Ross Provides Update After 22 Days in Oklahoma Hospital

Jim Ross is continuing to keep fans in the loop during what has become a lengthy hospital stay. The Hall of Fame commentator took to X on Monday to reveal he has now been hospitalized for 22 days at a facility in Norman, Oklahoma.

In his post, Ross noted he was passing the time by watching the College World Series alongside coverage of his beloved Oklahoma Sooners baseball team — a small slice of normalcy during what has clearly been a difficult stretch. He also used the moment to thank supporters for the outpouring of well-wishes he has received throughout his stay.

Ross, widely regarded as one of the greatest voices in professional wrestling history, has dealt with a number of health challenges in recent years, including battles with Bell’s palsy and skin cancer following the tragic passing of his wife Jan in 2017. Through it all, he has maintained an active presence via his podcast and social media, and this latest situation is no different — JR continuing to communicate openly with the wrestling community even from a hospital bed.

No specific details about the nature of his current medical situation have been shared publicly. What is clear is that three-plus weeks in the hospital represents a serious and prolonged ordeal, and the industry’s thoughts remain firmly with one of its most beloved figures. Fans will be hoping the Oklahoma legend is back on his feet and behind a microphone sooner rather than later.
