Taz got some rough news from the doctors this week.
On Wednesday, the AEW color-commentator surfaced on social media to inform fans that he was told by a highly-acclaimed orthopedic surgeon on Tuesday, who informed him that he needs both of his knees and shoulders replaced.
"Went to a highly acclaimed orthopedic surgeon yesterday to discuss my knee," he wrote via X. "It’s been brutal for a couple of years, he did testing & X-rays on me. So, both of my shoulders & knees need to be replaced. 4 joints. I am not doing this right now. I’m gonna keep trying regenerative procedures & try to suck it up dealing with the pain."
From there, "The Human Suplex Machine" urged today's generation of pro wrestlers to be smarter with their bodies.
He continued, "This is NOT from bumps… It’s from training too heavy like a caveman trying to be 'big'. I’m posting this for today’s wrestlers, please be smarter, times have changed for the better!!"
