Dax Harwood recently spoke with Web Is Jericho for an interview promoting FTR vs. The Briscoes 2 for the ROH Tag-Team Championships at the ROH Death Before Dishonor 2022 pay-per-view scheduled for this Saturday night.
During the discussion, the man who along with tag-team partner Cash Wheeler is part of the reigning, defending ROH, AAA and IWGP Tag-Team Champions spoke about the toll the sport of pro wrestling is taking on his body, as well as how he suffered a torn labrum right before the inaugural FTR vs. The Briscoes showdown at ROH Supercard Of Honor 2022.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where the decorated tag-team wrestling veteran touches on these topics with his thoughts.
On how he tore his labrum right before FTR’s first match with The Briscoes at the ROH Supercard of Honor 2022 pay-per-view earlier this year: “I got that [a torn labrum] right before the match with The Briscoes. I took a suplex on the floor, and it’s still very uncomfortable just to sit down. To walk or to run it doesn’t bother me, but to sit down, it just kills me. Every match you have, I don’t care how old you are or how young you are, every match is gonna take a toll on your body.”
On how much damage his body is taking in the sport: “We’ll take a move, even just a shoulder tackle — a shoulder tackle hurts so bad. We’ll take this move, and you’ll watch guys get right back up and smile and laugh. And in my mind, I’m like, ‘I gotta go home to my daughter, and that one tackle, that one bump hurt so bad that I can’t play with her.’ So why are we telling these fans this doesn’t hurt? ‘Watch. The ring is springy, it’s like a trampoline.’ It’s the complete opposite. Everything hurts.”
