Jim Ross said he had a “very positive” appointment with his neurologist this week as doctors continue to evaluate him for dementia or Alzheimer’s. The 74-year-old wrestling broadcaster said blood was drawn and a series of tests were run, but he added that he feels physically fine and is willing to do whatever doctors recommend.

Ross said there is no cure for dementia or Alzheimer’s, and he is facing the process with a blunt view that left little room for sugarcoating. “What the hell are you going to do about it?” he said, adding that he feels great physically and is prepared to follow medical advice as needed.

The diagnosis workup comes after a rough stretch for Ross, who said he had a bout with colon cancer in 2025. He and Jerry Lawler appeared together at Motor City Comic Con in Detroit last weekend, where Ross said the crowd was the largest turnout he and Lawler have had at a convention. The two longtime wrestling voices remain familiar fixtures to fans even as Ross navigates another health scare.

Ross will be in New York City on Sunday to provide commentary at AEW Double or Nothing, keeping him on the job while the medical questions are still being sorted out. Dementia has no cure, and Alzheimer’s is the most common form of it, which is why doctors are running tests and watching closely. For Ross, the next step is not a mystery so much as a waiting game built around whatever his neurologist decides to do next.
