Jim Ross is arguably the greatest announcer in professional wrestling history. His name is synonymous with match announcements for TV Audience and he was a regular fixture in the commentary booth near the WWE Ring for more than a decade.

No But Sadly He Died....
JR is suffering from his 3rd bout of bells palsy.
He is almost all the way recoverd keep in mind this is his thrid bells-palsy attack, He is VERY lucky to be alive but WWE is now using him to find those "break out superstars" in the WWE he may come back to TV as an annoucer but i expect to see him announce some key ppvs on the WWE card such as Summerslam/Wrestlemania
He didn't tony doesn't work for WWE
He never left. He just doesnt' have an on screen role anymore.
When Jim Ross was fired both times in 1994, he went to work with Jim Cornette's Smoky Mountain Wrestling, where he was featured as an announcer, often alongside Bob Caudle or Dutch Mantell.
In October Jim siffered his third attack of bell's palsy and has since been inactive. His goal is to return for Wrestlemania 26. For those who do not know: Bell's palsy is a sudden weakness or paralysis of the muscles in one side of your face. It is NOT considered a sign of a mnore serious health condition and many people recover from it. As a TV Ring Announcer you can see why it would affect Jim. Get well soon JR the WWE Universe misses you!!
He currently inactive due to a Bell's palsy attack. He will return to WWE when he can
no, JR had a Bell's palsy attack and will be out of the WWE at least until WrestleMania 26 if not longer
