► Good news from Jim Ross
“I am in the process of recovery, friend. I only try to heal and improve. That is my goal at this time. This week I had an appointment with my surgeon and is very satisfied with the results, which, of course, fills me with joy … He believes that they managed to eliminate all cancer, and that is incredible news. I feel very lucky about that. To be honest, I was dead for a time, because it is one of those mysterious things that you simply don't know how they will end. ”
Ross confirmed that his goal is to return to work for the first AEW show in a stadium in the United States. “Isn't it a bit ambitious?” Asked the presenter Conrad Thompson. “I don't believe it. It seems to me a realistic objective”.
“I have a lot of hope that it will be. I would love to be part of that event, meet the fans, see talent. I miss the fighters … my plan is to be there. So we will see how things evolve. I want to return to the game, one way or another, and continue contributing to the success of AEW and this great event.”
During the program, the veteran also took the opportunity to thank the immense love he has received from the public during his battle against cancer: “The support samples have really been extraordinary, and that has made me feel incredibly well. I know that people care about me, and they know that I also worry about them. All that support they have given me has been something wonderful.”
