Jim Ross Friends Confirm He Is Not Dead; Twitter Account Was Hacked

Jim Ross Twitter account was evidently hacked by an impassioned Leeds United supporter, who also put out a statement from JR’s family that the legendary WWE broadcaster had passed away. Thankfully, this is not the case:

Jim Ross is fine. #JRLIVES

To all his family and friends, Jim Ross is alive and well. I just spoke to him. Wants friends and family to know this. #wwe

In true good ol' JR fashion, Jim Ross is miffed that @OU_Football is going to Miami and not Dallas. But he is healthy and doing great. #wwe

Wrestling Inc. also says that it was a hoax. Right now, JR’s Twitter account is still down.
