AEW Name’s Recovery From Knee Replacement Surgery Update

AEW

AEW commentator Taz has shared an update on his recovery, after recently having total knee replacement surgery.

Following Taz being written off TV in an off-screen attack on the October 2 Dynamite episode, the wrestling veteran confirmed that he would be out for a while, recovering from this surgery.

Speaking on the Infamous Smoke Show, Taz noted that he was trying to hold off for a long as possible on having surgery:

“I tried everything…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?”

Noting that he’s currently doing a lot of physical therapy, Taz noted the following about his recovery:

“The knee replacement thing, I’m recovering. 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.”
