Will Ospreay says having neck surgery was more expensive than his house but Tony Khan paid for it
AEW star Will Ospreay did an interview with Forbes.com and here is an excerpt…
Wolkenbrod: “Given what we’ve seen from wrestlers suffering serious neck injuries — some not returning for years or at all — did you ever have moments during recovery where you didn’t know if you’d step back in the ring again?”
Ospreay: “I mean, that always kind of creeped in, but I knew I was going to do everything physically possible to make this go as quickly as possible and get back in the ring. It was always a conversation, and I had great phone calls with my surgeon, Dr. Wallace, who deserves the biggest shoutout because he’s given me a second chance at having a career doing this.
I mean, 10 years ago, this was the type of thing that medically disqualified you from wrestling. So the fact that medical science has come so far, man, I’m just grateful and so blessed. And I must give the biggest shoutout to Tony [Khan] for paying for that surgery because the moment I saw that f****** bill — bro, it was more expensive than my f****** house. It was crazy.”
