#11 Good Ol’ JR remembering his late wife
Ad
Jim Ross is without question one of the greatest wrestling commentators of all-time. On top of that, he's also one of the kindest men in the wrestling industry. Many years ago, The Nature Boy Ric Flair introduced JR to a lady named Jan.
Jan would go on to be JR’s wife and for years, the pair were inseparable. Unfortunately, in January of this year, Jan was involved in a major car accident. She suffered major head trauma as a result of the accident and sadly, she passed away from those injuries, two days after the accident.

About the author
J. Carpenter
Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
