Kevin Nash Herniated Discs Injury Status Update
As noted before, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash recently suffered a herniated discs injury that prevented him from being able to travel and attend his scheduled bookings earlier this month.
A recent episode of the Kliq This podcast featured co-host Nash providing an update on several injuries issues he has been dealing with. Nash stated that he had recently underwent shoulder surgery to repair his shoulder issues.
“I went in there today, and he went through the whole thing. He showed me all my different rotator cuffs, then he showed me a pretty decent bone spur on the end of my humerus, which I found nothing funny (about).
He just said that I have so much arthritis that probably what happened was there was an area that looked like scar tissue that I had broken loose. I had some cysts and some bone spurs that they cut all the way through so I think that is what split.
I was actually having a hard time pulling up a pair of shorts on my left side, but since I’ve done this, like, the first day I got up, I pulled my underwear on, I was just like, there’s no pain on the back of my shoulder.”
Nash also provided an update on his herniated discs injury stating that he will be undergoing minimally invasive surgery to deal with stenosis issues in his spine.
“I talked to the spinal surgeon, and they’ll be able to just go in, like the f—in size of a McDonald’s straw, and take that piece of bone out. Minimally invasive procedure.
There’s only so much you can do with stenosis with stem cell, but my shoulder right now, it will flourish because all that tendinitis and all that wear and tear, that stem cell will give that a nice (shot).”

Mayu to face AZM in Tokyo Dome
Another championship matchuip has been added to Wrestle Kingdom, as for the first time in two years and the second time in history, the IWGP Women’s Championship will be defended in the Tokyo Dome.
