Last month, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross announced that he was diagnosed with colon cancer. JR later revealed that he had successful surgery and was being rehabilitation.

On Saturday, Ric Flair posted a message on Twitter/X about JR. Flair wrote “Jim Ross Will Always Be Jim Ross, Seeking Attention. Focus On Your Recovery @JRsBBQ!” After the post went viral, Flair deleted it and wrote that he was joking.

The next day, Flair issued a statement about JR…

“I just made it clear to the world in an article coming out on Sports Illustrated by Justin Barasso that Jim Ross is on my Mount Rushmore, along with Gordon Solie, Gene Okerlund, and Jerry Lawler. That’s high praise because it was very difficult for me to leave out Tony Schiavone. But Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler were the greatest tandem ever! Nobody should be upset because two people have a difference of opinion. It happens in life! I lost a son; he lost a beautiful wife. We have a lot in common. We were both considered the best at what we do. Let’s leave it at that, and all the haters can focus on someone else now.”
