Wrestling icon Jim Ross has found himself in the hospital once again with new health issues. Fortunately, it doesn't sound like he'll be there too long.

Taking to X on Tuesday, Ross announced that he needed to take a trip to the emergency room after having difficulty breathing. He said that he'll be okay but that he expects he'll need to stay for the night.

"Another trip to the ER. Difficulty breathing. Likely an overnight stay. I'll be ok. Let's fight!" Ross wrote.

Ross has been a wrestling promoter and broadcaster for 50 years. His work with WWE from 1993 to 2013 helped shape the company into the most dominant wrestling promotion in the world for many years.

But the past few years have been rough as he's dealt with both personal tragedies and multiple battles with cancer. His wife Jan died from injuries in a vehicle accident back in 2017 and had to undergo treatments for cancer in 2021 and earlier this year.

Those health issues have resulted in adjusting his schedule with All Elite Wrestling, where he's worked since 2019.

Everyone in the wrestling world is hoping that Good Ol' JR is able to make yet another recovery.

Get well soon.
