Erm...excuse you for rolling your eyes at JR being included on a list of pro wrestlers. He holds a win over none other than Triple H at Madison Square Garden, don't you know?! He also scored a win alongside John Cena, and they might've become tag champs had pesky backstage politics not wrecked their run.

Seriously though, this isn't said lightly or with an ounce of disrespect: JR's health is paramount. He suffered a bad fall and nasty black eye before the Collision debut, but still managed to show up and call the main event. That took courage, and it's cool that Tony Khan stood by Jim, but everyone needs to have a real good think about the future.

Jim Ross is an industry treasure. He clearly enjoys still being able to work, and has nothing else left to prove to anybody. Although only he and Tony can decide this, countless fans have reached out to opine that JR should concentrate on living his life.

He's given enough to wrestling, but it's understandable that he still wants to serve the business he loves. Get well soon, JR!
