During a recent edition of his “Kliq This” podcast, Kevin Nash provided more details on his health, noting that he has problems with his shoulder and neck.
Nash previously said that he would be having a minimally invasive procedure done on the shoulder to repair it.
Nash said, “I thought about my options and everything else, and my first, when I go to Bio Accelerator in Columbia and see my stem cell people. I think that’s the best option for me. I think my shoulder tendinitis is horrendous. I’m just gonna go ahead…70% success rate of a back operation, and a 78 or 79% for my major issue in my back with stem cells. So I got a 10% better chance, and all they’re doing is injecting stem cells. I’m not being opened up. It’s a minimally invasive procedure. I’m going with Bio Accelerator. My neck is f**ked, but it’s not my issue right now. Mine is my L2, L3, and L3L4. I’ve got herniations there. When I went to the surgeon, he thought that the problem, the compression is on my L3 left nerve root. I had an EMG done on that, where they send electricity, so it’s definitely being compromised. [Asked if he gets numbness down his arm] No, it’s my lower back. It’s my quads not firing.”
Nick Aldis began his role as the General Manager of SmackDown just over a year ago, and he recently reflected on the segment and his interaction with Dominik Mysterio.
Aldis made his debut as the SmackDown GM during the October 13th, 2023 episode, during which he introduced Kevin Owens as a new addition to the roster.
During a recent appearance on the “Insight” podcast, Aldis reflected on his WWE debut.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On working opposite Mysterio: “If ‘Dirty’ Dom Mysterio hadn’t been in that segment, it would have been a much more difficult position for me to get that one thing, which was the ‘big fan of your dad’ line. When I was looking over it during the day, I’m brand new, but I’m also a producer so I have a bit of freedom and leeway to make suggestions. I remember looking at the way it was laid out, and I saw the suggestion of ‘big fan.’ I was like, ‘What if I put a pause in there?’ In my mind, that’s my sense of humor and s**t-talker style. ‘Big fan…of your dad.’ I said it and Hunter and whoever was around at the time laughed. I was like, ‘That might work.’”
On making his debut in the segment: “Looking at it, the segment isn’t necessarily about me. I’m here to facilitate. At the same time, I’ve got ten seconds to smash something. That’s it. That’s my kick-the-door-down moment. I knew I had to do that. I knew the majority of people watching didn’t know who I was. I would have loved to debuted in Chicago or New York or Philly where there may have been a higher concentration of fans who were familiar. Tulsa, Oklahoma, not what I would describe as my strongest market, brother, but I’ll take it. Dom has so much heat and he’s the guy you love to hate. That is the sweet spot, especially in the modern era, that’s the sweet spot as a heel character. You have to be the guy they love to hate. It’s hard now to have real heat because real heat becomes, ‘is it real?’ We don’t want to have a disclaimer, ‘Oh, it’s not real.’ That ruins the whole thing. You have to be a guy they love to hate. That’s Dirty Dom.”
