WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross Hospitalized Thursday Night

WWE Hall of Famer and barbecue professional Jim Ross revealed on Twitter Thursday night he had a health scare that ultimately winded him up in the hospital. Ross tweeted:

Got home from Vegas not feeling well. Now spending the night in the hospital for observation. Shouldn’t have said anything to my wife.

Ross had been in Las Vegas for the Cauliflower Alley Club convention, one of the most popular wrestling conventions in the world on an annual basis. Wrestling Rumors noted Wednesday fellow WWE Hall of Famer Sunny had skipped the convention without giving warning to promoters.

While he gave no indication to what the illness was, the 62-year-old is also unfortunately no stranger to hospitals. J.R. suffers from Bell’s palsy, a debilitating disease that has left him with partial paralysis in areas of his face in the past. He suffered multiple attacks during his tenure in WWE.

Since, he has stepped away from the wrestling industry, and recently made his Fox Sports 1 television debut, taking boxing play-by-play duties.
