WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross announced that he will be undergoing abdominal surgery this week. "I will be undergoing abdominal surgery this week," Ross wrote. "I am bothered by a traumatic incisional hernia that needs to be addressed. My surgeon is the same one who performed colon surgery, and no, not the beloved Dr. Heiney, a few years ago on me.  

"He's a great doctor who actually was a former Oklahoma Sooner footballer back in his college days. This issue evolved just over the past 3-4 months and I'm told that getting it repaired now would be timely and prevent other related health issues going forward."

Powell's POV: Ross noted that he's shut down his online BBQ sales temporarily while they make internal changes to the site. He noted that it will be opened again later this month, but did not specify a date. Best of luck to Ross with his surgery this week. The guy has spent way too much time on on the operating table over the years, so here's hoping for a speedy recovery.
