Current AEW commentator Taz has provided a health update and some advice for younger wrestlers following a doctor visit.
The physical strain and punishment that professional wrestlers put themselves through has been evident for decades as competitors leaving the ring in a lot rougher shape than when they started.
On May 1, current AEW commentator Taz took to social media to provide a health update following a visit to his orthopedic surgeon on April 30. He wrote:
Went to a highly acclaimed orthopedic surgeon yesterday to discuss my knee. 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. *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!!
Taz wrestled for 15 years for multiple promotions, including ECW and WWE.
Taz’s son HOOK is currently on the AEW roster where he is a former two-time FTW Champion.
JJA Sport Studio would like to wish Taz well with his current health issues.
