Kevin Nash shares worrying update after recent surgery
WWE legend Kevin Nash recently underwent bicep surgery and has now spoken about his health setback and the complications that arose. He shared some details about how the surgery was performed with some hiccups in between.
Nash is among the most beloved names in wrestling history, having carved a unique legacy for himself in both WWE and WCW over the last three decades. Though Kevin Nash is now retired and mostly occupied with his acting assignments, he still shares his opinions on the business via his podcast Kliq This.
On a recent edition of the podcast, Nash opened up about his bicep surgery and explained how the doctors encountered some complications while performing the surgical procedure.
"It was pretty intensive… I had some things, man. I had a full-thickness supraspinatus tear. My deltoids are so big and so dominant that my rotator cuffs can be torn off the f***ing bone, and the only thing that happens is I feel my humerus pop out of the joint… That’s what I was starting to get, a ton of grinding. They said, ‘How’s your arm mobility?’ and I could raise it, so they thought there was probably nothing in there," Nash recounted. “Turns out, my delts were masking the real issue."

WWE veteran Dutch Mantell on Kevin Nash's promo work
Last month on an episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, Dutch Mantell opened up about working alongside Kevin Nash in TNA in the mid-2000s.
The former WWE manager revealed that Nash needed minimal directions before going out for a promo as he was a polished speaker who could deliver even without a script.
"We did that because Kevin Nash is such a bullshi**er and he can go in there. We didn't even go over any of this stuff. I said, 'Kevin, sit down, this is what I want you talking about.' They pulled it out of thin air and some of it was great. Some of it, I thought, was very, very good and it didn't hurt anybody," he said.
Nash had a seven-year stint in TNA from 2004-2011, where he was a part of popular groups like Main Event Mafia, The Band, and Paparazzi Productions.
