Over the weekend, a fan on Twitter asked Kevin Nash who he wrestled during a recent appearance at an indie show with Scott Hall. The soon-to-be two-time WWE Hall of Famer’s reply generated a bunch of internet headlines:
Father Time. I'm retired

But Big Sexy says it wasn’t news. And to prove it, he provided details and photographic evidence about how the effect a life in wrestling had on him physically:
How after wrestling once in 2 years as a favor is it news I'm retired? I had a knee replacement and stem cell therapy to heal my wounds. Now I'm in the best physical shape as far as function than I've been since 1986 when I destroyed my right knee. I worked 29 years on one leg.

The reason I retired was I was deformed and basically crippled. This knee replacement and 2 years of rehab and training has been brutal. Just get my hips to realign was incredibly painful. To the haters fuck off To those that have championed my recovery I send my thanks and love. pic.twitter.com/NHNqrc6MFB

That’s amazing... both the wrestling-caused before and the modern medicine (and hard work)-enabled after.
Glad you’re feeling better, Mr. Nash, but you know this will probably inspire a “return imminent” rumor or two, right?
