WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross says he's been diagnosed with a fractured vertebrae after injuring himself last summer ... but the wrestling legend will most likely not require surgery.

Ross got an MRI done on his back this week after putting it off for months and tweeted saying, "Results: I've been diagnosed with a fractured vertebrae."

Sources tell us surgery is unlikely, but the announcer is waiting to see a specialist just in case.

Good Ol' JR finished his tweet writing, "Worry not about the mules, just load the damn wagon!"
