Obviously [at Night of Champions] I had some problems. Both buckle bombs not Seths fault, completely mine, I have no idea what I did, I have no idea but my neck whiplashed on both of them. On the second one, he picked me up and Im having a casual conversation in my own mind as Im hoisted up on his shoulders thinking okay, Steve, tuck your chin. Do what you know how to do. This is ridiculous. I wasnt worried at all, even though the first one I had a shock going down the left and right thigh down both down to the fingertips. And I thought oh man you can see me in the ring trying to shake my hands out and get feeling back in my hands. And then the second time, again, having the casual conversation, and then for whatever reason I clicked out, checked out, I dont know what happened but I did the same thing. This time, it affected my legs. Yeah, there was just no strength. The power in my legs was just kinda going away and I felt like I didnt have control over them, and I didnt. I had a temporary paralysis. For a few minutes I thought I dont think I can continue, I think Im done. But I cant do this, the stakes are so high, and I cant do this to Seth. Anyway, then the crowd starts chanting and everything else. Somehow or another it just kinda came back enough where okay, I can do another minute or two here and get out of this thing.'
MRIs and neurologists have been looking at it, Dr. Maroon out of Pittsburgh, hes looked at it. Hes telling me that Ill have to have a surgery. The dust only in the last couple weeks has kind of started to settle a little bit for me, just trying to get so much done in life but now its time to go get this thing taken care of. No, Im hoping (they dont have to do a fusion surgery). I know thats one of the techniques that they use and Im not sure if Dr. Maroon will have to do that or not. Ive got two spots in my neck that are troublesome. I guess its called cervical spinal stenosis. Thats what it is. I have two areas in my neck where the spinal canal, which holds the spinal cord, its kind of choked off in two different locations. Lucky that a catastrophe didnt happen that night, long story short. Ive gotta go get it fixed. I guess John Cena had something very similar, he had his fixed, and Dr. Maroon has done several of the WWE guys up there and all with great success.
