WWE News: Jim Ross updates his health, comments on WWE replacing him on the Smackdown announce team Oct 29, 2009 - 7:15:23 PM
WWE announcer Jim Ross says he received some good news today that he does not have Multiple sclerosis following his third Bell's Palsy attack last week. Ross's doctors ruled out the disease, which can affect a person's central nervous system and ability to function.
"We got some medical tests back this morning which eliminated me having MS which was a relief," Ross said on jrsbarbq.com. "We have more tests scheduled next week as the process is essentially trying to eliminate issues that I might have but likely don't."
Ross also addressed WWE replacing him on the Smackdown announce team. He said his focus is on his health and he understands WWE needing to move on to develop a new announce team while he waits for more definitive news on his health.
"The way I see it, WWE had to move on without me, for now, as they have shows to do and I am unable to carry my share of the water," Ross said. "If the new broadcast teams click and I am not needed on a weekly basis then, poor me, I will find other projects on which to work. ... Until I get healthy WWE has to move forward without me and get their work done. I am pulling for Todd Grisham and Matt Striker to light it up on Friday nights."
