“The Human Suplex Machine” has checked in with another update on his total knee replacement surgery.
AEW color-commentator Taz recently appeared as a guest on The Infamous Smoke Show, where he spoke at length about the subject.
While talking about the issues he was dealing with before the total knee replacement surgery he would ultimately undergo, Taz mentioned that he tried everything beforehand.
“I tried everything,” Taz said. “I’m 57, right, so I wanted to wait until I was 65 to get the replacement. I just could wait. It was just brutal. I couldn’t go to work, I couldn’t walk in an arena backstage. I couldn’t walk in airports. You go to make a connection flight, and I got too much pride to get wheeled around. I’m just not gonna do that. Yeah, whatever. I got my own f**king issues, right? [Laughs].”
He would go on to mention that he has been doing a lot of physical therapy, and that the arthritis he was dealing with is now gone.
“The knee replacement thing, I’m recovering,” he said. “I’m doing a lot of physical therapy now, three days a week. I do a lot of home therapy too. You gotta really work out that prosthetic and the quad and all that. I was always nervous to get it done, but I’m only five weeks out, and if you need it, get it done because I already feel relief. The arthritis is gone. It’s nice.”
