WWE star Ridge Holland issues statement to fans after undergoing surgery
WWE star Ridge Holland, who was working for the NXT and TNA brands in recent months, issued a statement to fans after undergoing surgery for a foot injury…
“So just laying it. Just taking me painkillers, taking me some lovely Hydrocodium, which takes the edge off slightly. Oh, man. It’s always weird. I was saying to my wife that I must be able to handle all this sh*t because for the past seven years, it’s been a bit of a bumpy ride with the wrestling business. Just started to get rolling, something happened. Same again this time. TNA, a couple of good matches, and then this happens. But again, we heal, we recover, we march forward. And I’m looking forward to coming back and getting in the best shape in my life. I guess I’m using this as all these injuries, all these ups and downs. I’m using it as lessons for my kids, I guess, and anyone else that wants to take notice that it doesn’t matter what happens to you, really. There’s always a way back. If you just believe, you don’t even have to have a plan. Everyone always wants a plan, but we’re all winging it. I think that you just got to want something and take the first step and then you just pivot and adjust on certain situations, but keep moving forward.
A lot of support, a lot of get-well messages. So thanks for them. Great service of care from the Andrews orthopedic team here in Birmingham, Alabama. They do a lot of work with the WWE, so they truly are the best in the field. I want to thank Dr. Walderup and his team for taking really good care of me. I just want to get home, see my kids. I’ve had a couple of days off, like having a bit more relaxed with a diet, which has been quite nice, actually. Not looking forward to this flight home, but needs most… I’m not sure if this pain will die down in the next couple of days. But, yeah, I’ll speak soon.”
