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.

A New Zealand man thought it would be a brilliant idea to body slam a killer whale -- but the stunt was not only dumb but also seriously irresponsible, and he's now paying the price.

Check out the clip -- the man goes full WWE ... launching himself off a boat near the coast of Auckland and landing inches from an adult orca and its calf.

As you can see ... the 50-year-old daredevil, who hasn't been identified, yells out in delight he touched the orca and eagerly asks his boatmates if they caught his wild encounter on camera.

The 51-year-old, who was sentenced to 17 years behind bars back in 2023 for her role in a fatal car crash, says just after she was relocated to Lowell Correctional Institution in Marion County earlier this year ... she noticed something wrong with her left leg.

She said she began to experience severe swelling from the top of her knee all the way down to her toes, and immediately sought out medical attention.

Ric Flair is sharing regret over losing his cool at a Gainesville pizza joint over the weekend ... saying he should've just walked right out the minute things got heated.

As we previously reported, the Nature Boy was caught on camera yelling at a Piesanos staffer over an alleged bathroom interaction with the kitchen manager ... and things got so tense, a patron offered to take things outside.

Naitch joined "The MJ Morning Show on Q105" to share his side of things on Wednesday ... and while he does feel bad for how things went down, he explained he also felt he needed to stick up for himself.

Jim Jones' wild airport royal rumble made for plenty of bumps and bruises, but it won't be a stain on anyone's criminal record -- no one involved wants to press charges, and cops are backing Jim's version of events.

TMZ Hip Hop broke the story ... the Dipset rapper got into a 2-on-1 tussle on an escalator at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, and the scene resembled a WWE brawl spilling outside the ring!!!

According to the police report, Jones told officers the altercation started when he stood up to collect his belongings from the first class overhead compartment as the plane landed, but before it came to a complete stop. He claims that prompted a fellow passenger, James Dos Santos, to confront him and push him in the chest.

Ric Flair nearly handed out figure four leg locks outside a pizza joint in Florida after a heated argument at the bar ended with a challenge to fight in the parking lot ... and the entire ordeal was captured on video!

The 3-minute long video shows an agitated Nature Boy arguing with a Piesanos restaurant manager in Gainesville, FL before another patron steps in and threatens Flair with physical violence.

"Come outside here and talk to me like a man," Ric told the manager he was jawing with, before another man interrupted, standing up, looking at Flair, and ominously saying, "Hey, you wanna go have a talk with me in the parking lot? Cause I'll work you. I don't give a s**t."

We chopped it up with the former WWE duo on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs on FS1) this week ... and asked them about the possibility of stepping back into the ring after some time away.

The sisters admitted they miss being in on the action ... but there has been some more important business to attend to lately -- motherhood.

Logan Paul got an assist from the biggest superstar in the NFL during WWE's "Monday Night Raw" ... using Patrick Mahomes' "Super Bowl Rings" like brass knuckles in the middle of a match -- but the plan totally backfired!!

The Chiefs quarterback was a surprise guest at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City ... where he had a front-row seat for all the wild action.

The Maverick opened up on his impending fatherhood during his "Impaulsive" podcast this week ... and he couldn't help but get excited over the huge milestone.

Paul explained his life will change forever once they welcome the kid to the world ... 'cause, for the first time, he won't be prioritizing himself -- it's all gonna be about his partner and the new family they created together.

Logan said he's wanted to be a dad for a long time ... but hadn't met the right person until the Sports Illustrated model came along.

"It's like a feeling that I can't even comprehend right now, especially if it looks anything like Nina," Logan said of the baby on the way. "Like, I love Nina so much, and then this little version of her that's also half me, that is going to be my entire life?"

Logan also praised his fiancée ... saying she's been handling the pregnancy extremely well and is going to be an incredible mother.

"I can't wait to find out the gender," he added.

Congratulations are in order for Logan Paul and Nina Agdal -- the Sports Illustrated model is pregnant with their first child ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us Nina is a few months along in the pregnancy ... and the two couldn't be happier about the baby on the way.

In fact, witnesses tell us the pair was spotted last month at a high-end NYC furniture store where they were shopping for their nursery.

Chelsea Green's phone has been dry AF lately -- at least when it comes to hearing from her newest nemesis -- 'cause the WWE Superstar tells TMZ Sports the folks at The Plaza in NYC still haven't hit her up to clear the air after hotel staffers mistook her for an escort.

As we previously reported, Green tried to get a drink with a friend at the Champagne Bar before attending a Broadway show last Tuesday ... but ended up being humiliated when security singled her out and told her to scram on multiple occasions.

Green said at the time she believed it was due to her wardrobe choice ... as numerous staffers commented about how she was there for "business" -- the bedroom kind.

Little did they know, she really WAS in town for business -- she had just participated in "Monday Night Raw" at Barclays Center the night prior.

After the incident went viral, Green claimed the hotel reached out to her on social media ... promising to set up a time to hash things out.

But, we're told that day still hasn't come ... which means Green was left without both a drink AND an apology.
