Sabu says he needs to have surgeries done on his knee, back and shoulder.
Speaking on a recent edition of the “Stories with Brisco” podcast, the ECW legend commented on how he’s feeling these days. He said,
“I’ll tell you, I’ve felt better. I don’t feel really bad, but I feel pretty bad. My knee, my back, and my shoulders, they all need surgery. I’ve been going to the gym lately, but I have to suck it up and go. It’s never, ‘Alright, today I feel good.’ It’s like, ‘f**k,’ and it’s tough… I need my knee and my shoulder replaced, but I haven’t gotten around to it.”
He continued, “I had my hip replaced. It took me about six months until I felt like working out. The pain was gone the first day… My neck is alright. My back, I got spinal stenosis, and then my shoulder needs a complete replacement. My knee, also.”
Sabu previously said he’d like to retire at some point this year, and expressed his desire for that match to be against Rob Van Dam.
