Jim Ross Says AEW All Out Appearance Is In The Cards, Reveals That Broke Two Toes Before His Brain Surgery
Jim Ross hopes to be at AEW All Out.
Just three weeks after brain surgery, Ross recently told Conrad Thompson that he hopes to make it to AEW All Out on September 26.
“It’s in the cards. If I continue to improve at the rate that I currently am, no doubt about it. It’s a non-stop flight from OKC to Chicago, I’m not flying to London. I’m flying short hop so to speak, two hours. To me, that’s a pretty short hop. I’ve made it very known that I want to return to help on some of the main events as soon as I’m able to travel better. As far as just looking at the match, interpreting what I see and articulating it, I can do that now. But they’re worried about my falling and they want me to get a little bit more steady on my feet.” Jim Ross said on his Grilling JR podcast.
As it turns out, Ross broke two of his toes the morning of his brain surgery. As a result, he’s currently in a walking boot.
“My big toe and the toe next to it on my left foot are both broken. So, I broke my toes before I went to do my surgery. I didn’t know they were broken until they x-rayed them in the hospital when I was there. Man oh man, I’m thinking, Jesus Christ, is this an omen on the morning of my major surgery? Is this my fate? That slowed me down a little bit because it’s hard to keep your balance when you wear a walking boot on your left foot and a flip flop or tennis shoe on your right. It’s hard to navigate that very quickly. So if my broken toes aren’t an issue, I’m going to be there. I don’t say that Tony Khan expects me to be there, he wants me to be there if I’m able. He’s been great with my sickness, never a negative call.”
On the September 2 episode of AEW Dynamite, two title matches were confirmed for AEW All Out. Learn about those bouts by clicking here.
