Legendary WWE and AEW announcer Jim Ross was taken to a nearby hospital on Thursday ... revealing he was experiencing shortness of breath.
The longtime staple in the wrestling community shared the medical scare with his social media followers ... saying the trip to the Norman, Oklahoma facility was "unexpected," but provided no further details.
Ross has dealt with numerous health issues over the years ... including an ongoing battle with Bell's Palsy, skin cancer and, just months ago, surgery to remove a mass from his hip.
