WWE legend Jim Ross recently revealed that he will need another brain surgery. The wrestling personality revealed on Tuesday that he had issues with his shunt.
"Getting another brain surgery Wednesday morning to address an issue with my shunt,"
It comes after he first underwent the knife for brain surgery. Doctors placed a shunt in his brain on August 12.
"I hope that my ending, my career ending, is planned," Ross said. "And so I don't just show up one Wednesday night on 'Dynamite' and say, 'Well, I got some news for you folks, I'm done.' That might sound cool and edgy, but I would like to be able to know that I'm leaving. I think that's important for my psyche. And I don't know, maybe I'm looking at it wrongly, but in any event, that's where I'm thinking - just have a good, clean ending.
"I've had a blessed career," he also added. "I've had a unique life, and I realize that it's coming to an end. I get it. If you ask me, 'JR, how much longer you think you're going to do announcing?' Well, I think my contract's up this month (August). So, I'm done pretty much. I don't want to be done, but if Tony Khan said, 'You know, JR, thanks for the efforts and thanks for being here' and all that stuff, then I'd have no problem with that. Because what else? How could I be such a greedy bastard and want more in my career than I've already received."
His initial brain surgery came after he revealed he would need surgery back in July.
"I'm getting ready to have another surgery, brain surgery this time, and that's going to be an adventure, because I don't think they're going to find much, oh God, my brain," Ross said.
"I gotta get it addressed," he also added. "I couldn't live my life the way it was. You know. I forget (expletive). And just couldn't remember things. It's just horrible. I felt horrible, but that all started with me passing out in my house and being discovered there, and we began an almost 40-day hospital stay.
"It's not optional if I want to get better, and I want to get better for sure," he concluded. "This is a whole new ball game, and it's a little scary to be honest with you."
