In a shocking revelation, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) veteran Taz has shared a concerning health update about his current condition.
The ECW legend, known for his intense in-ring performances and charismatic commentary style, took to social media to disclose that both of his shoulders and knees require replacement.
However, in a surprising move, Taz has decided not to undergo the necessary procedures, opting instead to explore regenerative treatments and manage his pain.
Taz’s announcement has sent shockwaves throughout the professional wrestling community, with fans and colleagues alike expressing concern for his well-being.
The Human Suplex Machine has been a staple of the AEW commentary team for years, bringing his unique perspective and expertise to the broadcast booth.
His recent involvement in an angle with his son Hook and Chris Jericho had fans wondering if he was contemplating a return to in-ring action. Unfortunately, it seems that Taz’s body is no longer able to withstand the rigors of training and competing at a high level.
Taz attributed his injuries to years of overtraining, advising younger wrestlers to learn from his mistakes. “It’s from training too heavy like a caveman trying to be ‘big,'” he tweeted.
This candid admission serves as a stark reminder of the physical toll that professional wrestling can take on the human body. As someone who has dedicated their life to the sport, Taz’s words carry significant weight, and his warning should resonate with up-and-coming talent.
Interestingly, this is not the first time that Taz has faced challenges related to his career. During his stint in WWE, he struggled to adapt to Vince McMahon’s production style, which ultimately led to his departure from the company.
In a recent podcast appearance, Jim Ross revealed that Taz’s difficulties working with McMahon were a primary reason for his exit.
As Taz navigates this challenging period in his life, the entire team wishes him all the best for a speedy recovery and alleviation of his pain. His contributions to the world of professional wrestling are immeasurable, and we hope that he will continue to thrive in his role as a commentator and mentor.
