Ricky Morton Recently Diagnosed With Bell’s Palsy

On the most recent edition of his 'School of Morton' podcast, Ricky Morton revealed that he’s been diagnosed with "a touch of" Bell’s palsy. This is the same condition AEW commentator Jim Ross was diagnosed with many years ago.

"Last Tuesday, I woke up, getting ready to go to the gym. I went downstairs and had a cup of coffee. I noticed the coffee [had] run out of my mouth. It really scared me. I ran to the bathroom and [saw] that my face looked disfigured. I thought that I might, MIGHT, be having a stroke. I went to the hospital and they told me it was brought on by stress, but I have a touch of Bell’s Palsy. It looks like it’s starting to clear up a bit. I can shut my eyes and start talking. I wanted to tell the wrestling world out there; if you see me, don’t run off. I’m doing good. [Physically], I’m doing great."
