Jim Ross, a revered figure in wrestling commentary, disclosed during his May 21, 2026, podcast that he is undergoing neurological evaluations for potential dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
The tests, ordered by his neurologist, include blood panels and diagnostic screenings to monitor cognitive health.
Proactive Health Measures
Despite no official diagnosis yet, Ross emphasized his commitment to following medical advice.
He stated, 'If there's any medicine I should take preventatively, tell me what they are and I'll do it.'
His reduced schedule at All Elite Wrestling allows him to prioritize health, though he remains physically active and feels 'great' despite the testing.
