WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross says his wife is "being kept alive via life support equipment" after a bad car accident earlier this week ... and is now describing her brain injury as "catastrophic."

As we previously reported, Jan Ross was riding her Vespa home from the gym Monday night when she was struck from behind by another car. She was not wearing a helmet and suffered multiple skull fractures.

Jim says Jan is still hospitalized in Oklahoma and her life is in serious danger.

"We hope that the swelling of Jan's brain will subside soon as it must for her to survive," Jim explained in a blog post ... "It's that simple."

"Nonetheless my little, Italian angel who loves her Steelers and all things Pittsburgh is fighting for all's she worth to save her life."

Jim added, "I will fully admit that there has been no experience in my life that could have prepared me for this life changing week. To see one's life partner and love of one's life being kept alive via life support equipment is tragically heartbreaking."

WWE's Big Show says the whole organization is praying for Jim Ross and his family following the tragic Vespa accident that left his wife with a fractured skull.

As we reported earlier ... Ross' wife, Jan Ross, was involved in a serious auto accident while riding her Vespa ... and is now fighting for her life, hospitalized in critical condition.

We broke the news to Big Show when we got him out at LAX, and he told our guy the Ross family not only has his full support, but the support of the entire WWE.

Vince McMahon's having a rough Tuesday ... he was in a car accident less than a mile from WWE headquarters in Stamford, CT that left his Bentley banged up.

Multiple law enforcement sources confirm McMahon was driving his black Bentley when something went wrong. Another car was involved in the crash though it's unclear exactly what happened.

Vince was seen walking around after the incident. Our sources say the whole thing was a "minor accident and everyone is okay."

As for the Bentley ... Vince can afford the repairs.

8:55 AM PT -- The Norman Police Dept. tells TMZ Sports Ross was driving at 9:33 PM when she was struck from behind by a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis.

Ross was thrown from her Vespa. Both the car and the scooter caught fire.

The driver of the Mercury was a 17-year-old male. He was not injured in the crash.

Officials say the crash is under investigation.

WWE legend Jim Ross says his wife was hit while riding her Vespa and suffered multiple skull fractures ... and now he's praying for a miracle.

We spoke with Jim who tells us he's absolutely devastated. He says Jan was riding her Vespa to the gym near their home in Oklahoma when she was struck by another vehicle.

Jim says Jan was not wearing her helmet and struck her head, causing multiple skull fractures. She was rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition where she underwent surgery.

Jim says the situation is "touch and go" at the moment. Jim says he's "hanging in there. It could be a tough day."

Ross tweeted about the situation, "My wife Jan, my little angel, was hit while riding her Vespa & has multiple skull fractures. She's in surgery now. We need a miracle."

Diamond Dallas Page is PISSED at whoever violated WWE superstar Paige by releasing private videos ... and vows to BITCH SLAP whoever's responsible.

Paige was one of the victims in another apparent mass celebrity hacking incident involving several high-profile female stars.

Paige tweeted about the horrific privacy breach last week saying, "Personal and private photos of mine were stolen and unfortunately they were shared publicly without my consent."

DDP tells TMZ Sports he's got her back 100% -- saying she's an absolute sweetheart and doesn't deserve any of this.

Lindsay Kay Hayward had one specific person in mind during her ambulance ride to the hospital after a health scare ... fellow giant Shaquille O'Neal!

We got the "My Giant Life" star and 6'9" pro wrestler Friday in Vegas after she was hospitalized last week -- for what she thought was a blood clot in her lung -- and she's got a funny way of remembering her time on the stretcher.

Good to see Shaq helped Lindsay stay positive in what could have been a serious problem. Big folks gotta stick together ... in sickness and in health.

It's the BIGGEST abdominal showdown ever -- Shaq hitting back at Big Show with some stomach muscles of his own ... and TMZ Sports has the video!

After Big Show posted pics of his own gut muscles last month, some people thought Shaq was backing out of their WrestleMania 33 match because he was scared of the 7-footer's impressive physique.

But Shaq tells us, "Big Show is scared. He called me 'fat.' I am PHAT ... Pretty Handsome And Tall."

CAN YOU DIG IT!?!!

VINCE MCMAHON IS ON NOTICE!!!

Broken Matt Hardy tells TMZ Sports he's been in talks with multiple wrestling organizations including WWE -- but says if Vince McMahon jerks him around, he will DELETE the most powerful man in the biz.

Hardy currently wrestles for Ring of Honor and brags that he holds the richest contract if ROH history -- twice as big as the one the Young Bucks signed.

There have been rumblings that he'll appear at WrestleMania 33 in April -- and while he wouldn't confirm, he did note that he's surveilling the WWE honcho with his trusty drone, Vanguard 1.

And now: "When 3 AM Phone Calls Go Wrong" ... starring ex-WWE superstar Bubba Ray Dudley!

Here's the deal ... we asked Bubba Ray for his best Vince McMahon story (everyone's got one) and the "Busted Open" radio co-host came through strong.

It involved a 3 AM phone call to the CEO while in a car with Shane McMahon, Tommy Dreamer and Spike Dudley ... and ended with Spike asking Vince if he had any "kind buds."

Big Show's not sweating whether Shaq will show up to Wrestlemania or not ... 'cause he's planning to be there with or without him.

We got the WWE legend at LAX, where he put the ball in Shaq's court for their hyped up fight that may not be happening at this point if a deal can't be made.

Noooooooooooooo!!!!

Shaquille O'Neal says his highly anticipated showdown with Big Show at WrestleMania 33 is "not looking good" ... insinuating negotiations with WWE are falling apart.

Shaq and Big Show have been hyping up the battle of the big men for MONTHS -- and it seemed both guys had agreed to face off on April 2.

But the NBA legend went on his "Big Shaq" podcast and said it's definitely NOT a done deal ... but made it clear, "It ain't my fault."

Shaq says there's still a chance it goes down and he's still gonna train for it -- sooo is this for real or is he just building suspense??

Stay tuned ...

Kelly Kelly's body is still fit for a few rounds ... with her husband on South Beach.

The ex-WWE Diva flaunted her sick bod while packing on the PDA with her husband, retired NHL star, Sheldon Souray.

Wrestling legend Kurt Angle says America's in great hands now that Linda McMahon has officially been confirmed as part of Donald Trump's cabinet ... 'cause she's a "genius."

The WWE Hall of Fame inductee says his former boss is the perfect person to head the Small Business Administration ... and has proven herself by turning the WWE into a billion-dollar business.

"If you doubt Linda McMahon, you'd have to be literally crazy."

Linda's entire family -- including Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Shane McMahon, Triple H -- joined her at the White House last week to make it official.

Stone Cold's bloody face? Ultimate Warrior BEATING Hulk Hogan? Virgil finally getting revenge on the Million Dollar Man??

So many great WrestleMania moments ... but Brooke Hogan says NOTHING holds a candle to her father's greatest 'Mania feat -- the slam that shocked the world in 1987.

You know the one ... Hulk Hogan vs. Andre The Giant.

Brooke wanted to send a little reminder to The New Day (the guys hosting WrestleMania 33) -- aim high ... but good luck topping this.

Brock Lesnar's done it. CM Punk's done it ... but the guys from The New Day say there's NO DAMN WAY they'd ever considering moving from the WWE to the UFC.

The tag team superstars -- who were just tapped to host WrestleMania 33 -- joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs Monday night on FS1) ... and told us their feet are FIRMLY planted in the WWE.

So, why not give the UFC a shot? Big E put it best ...

"I gyrate for a living! I shake my hips for a living, that's what I do! You want to get punched in the face by Derrick Lewis?? NO THANK YOU!"

Get your Booty-O's ready ... 'cause THE NEW DAY has officially been tapped to host WrestleMania 33!

It's a HUUUUGE honor -- Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods broke the news on "TMZ Live" and said they're psyched ... since they'll essentially be the faces of the biggest WWE event of the year!

It all goes down in Orlando, FL on April 2 and the guys are already brainstorming ideas so they go down as the greatest WrestleMania hosts EVER ... a list that includes The Rock, John Cena and Kim Kardashian (she hosted in 2008).

"Our main goal is to have as much fun as possible because if were having fun, everybody's having fun!"
