WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross being monitored for potential dementia or Alzheimer’s disease
While speaking on his podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross brought up how his limited schedule in AEW has helped with his health. JR stated the following…
“I don’t know how much he [Mick Foley] wants to work. And if you look at other guys, myself included, we’re used on a limited basis. And that keeps me, in this case, fresher and it gives me a chance to continue to get my ailments addressed.
I had a very positive doctor’s appointment with my neurologist. Everybody’s getting in on the act, man. The neurologist and I had an appointment, and they took a bunch of blood and ran some tests. I think they’re worried about dementia or Alzheimer’s. And I said, ‘What the hell are you going to do about it?’ There’s not a cure, you know. If there’s meds I could be taking preventively, tell me what they are and I’ll do it.
We’ll see how it works out. I’m going through a lot of tests now, and I don’t feel bad at all. I feel great actually. But you know, Conrad, let me tell you something-getting old is a bitch.”
