 What's good, George, your boy Ross back again with another video. So I'm going to check out the story from the Undertaker tearing his rotator cuff while wrestling came. Now, I don't think I checked out this clip. This was on the Joe Rogan podcast. So I think this is one of the clips I didn't get a chance to check out. But I definitely want to check this out because, you know, the Undertaker has I'm sure plenty of stories of him wrestling while injured. And I believe he has a new YouTube channel. So I may want to check out some stuff on his personal YouTube page. It's crazy to say that the Undertaker has a YouTube channel. So I'm sure he has some interesting stories that he has talked about on there. So if you guys want me to check out some of his clips on YouTube, let me know down below. But I definitely wanted to check this out because this definitely sounds very interesting. The fact that he wrestled with a torn rotator cuff is just insane. And he didn't just wrestle someone small. He wrestled. He was wrestling Kane at the time. So in just his size, like that's incredible. Let's check this out. Appreciate all the love and support you guys shown on channel. Let's get right into this one. Bring a lot to. Yeah, yeah, that and then, you know, then I have no. Super spinatus either. None, none. It's completely severed. What did that happen? Well, it was a progression of a lot of tears. And the last tear I was working, I think. Maybe around 2010, I was working with Kane. Who's just a big, big dude. And I was I was trying to trying to throw him up on my shoulder. And I was going to try to give him, you know, my pile driver. But, you know, he's three hundred and thirty pounds. He has his weight kind of gets stuck here. And I'm too stupid to put him down and readjust. So I'm trying to, you know, trying to pop my hips and get up there. And finally, I heard it pop. I was like, holy shit. Got through the match, float in Asheville the next day. And I said, Doc, I need a shot of cortisone. And he's like, he goes, Mark, he goes, your shoulder really needs to be fixed. I'm like, Doc, I'm right in the middle of something right now. I can't. This is I don't think y'all understand. My man went up there not to get something fixed. He hurt the pile. He didn't go up there to get it fixed. He went up there to get a shot of cortisone to help with the pain. Hey, I got some stuff. I got probably some more matches, maybe some house shows. Hey, let's get it going. Hey, I just need the shot. I can keep it moving. And the doctor's like, my, my boy, your, your shoulder is, is Gigi's. Like, what are we doing? Like, you, you what? Well, that's insanity, bro. That's insanity. I said, let me get through, you know, let me get through mania. I said, just, you know, give me the shot. And then after mania, I'll come and I'll get it fixed. And reluctantly, he did. Wow. The shot would last four or five months, six months. So he's in Nashville. So I go, I get the shot. I fly back to Austin. By the time I get home, it's like I didn't get the shot at all. Oh, so I call him back up and I was like, all right, Dr. Bird, you're, you're a little smarter than I am. He goes, he says, well, fact mark, it's so bad. Like, I want you to go see somebody else. I want you to see a shoulder specialist. So I go see Dr. Andrews. You know, you know, Dr. Andrews is like the, you know, he's the guy, Tommy John. He's the athlete's doctor. I go see, I go see him. And it's the first time this has ever happened to me. I go into the examining room and he's already there waiting. I don't know if anybody else has ever been to the doctor's office and the doctors. He's sitting there and he's looking at me. And I'm looking at him like, because I'm a little taken back that he's already in the room, right? You know, and we're looking at each other, nobody says anything. And he goes, son, he goes, I don't know if there's anything I can do for you. He had obviously already seen my MRI and everything. Damn. He goes, he says, can you lift your arm? I was like, yes, sir. Yeah, I can lift it. He says, can I see you lift it? Yeah. He said, can you lift to the side? No, yeah, I can lift to the side. He goes, there's no reason to explanation why you're able to do that. But when the doctor's telling first, when a doctor's waiting for you to come in, you already notice something up because doctors usually are doing something else. You got to wait for them to see you when he's waiting for you in his office and you tell him, lift your arm up. You shouldn't be able to do that. Well, how is that even possible? Undertaker, man, he's a different. He's a different breed. Wow. I'm like, he says, you've taught yourself how to use that arm with that severe injury. He goes, so we talked for a while and he goes, he says, can we meet back in about an hour? He goes, I need to think about this. Damn. Yeah, I'm in Birmingham. Like, you know, what am I going to do? I got nothing else to do. You know, I got to find out what I'm, you know, what's going on with his shoulder. So we meet back in an hour and he goes, he goes, I'm going to try. He goes, I don't think I can fix it. He says, but I feel like I owe it to you. Just to try. Wow. And even with that, I'm thinking, that's James Andrews, right? Surely he's going to fix it. You know, he's just being humble. So I have the surgery. You know, I wake up out of surgery and my wife is, you know, she's right there and I can look on her face and I can tell like you know, what good. And I was like, babe, and she goes and about that time, Dr. Andrews comes in, he goes, he goes, well, we found it. You found it. He goes, yeah, he said, the end of the super spinae, it was about back here. He says, we clamped on and we pulled, we tugged and he said, we might have been able to get it sewn back together. He said, but the first time you try to use it, it was going to pop. It was just so dead because it had been torn for so long. Damn. How long did it was? Was it torn before you went to talk to him? Well, that was when it that last one was when it tore completely in half. So it had already been damaged. It had already been damaged. Yeah. And I was getting shots of cortisone to kind of mask the pain. That's why it popped off. That was it. And there wasn't enough left to attach it. Jesus, bro. He says you're he says your biceps tendon had come out of its groove, too. He said, we did put that back. I should help you a little bit. I'm like, OK, so, you know, I go back to work. But now, you know, now I'm getting older. And so, you know, my physical skills are already starting to kind of diminish and you know when that happens. But now, like when I'm in a match now, I've got to be cognizant all the time of where my shoulder is in in relation to whatever it is I'm doing. Like I had there was a lot of things like tombstones. Like I had to I had to change how, you know, how I would pick people up because I couldn't get my arm out extended because I had no strength. Yeah. And I couldn't clothesline people. I mean, I had to, you know, I need that. I had to have like my my arm almost supported by my lat to to do a lot of different moves. And there's no other option like they can't do a cadaver. Well, it was in what what, you know, in the shit that I do and we do, it would have tore. And that's he told me that he said, we could have tried to cadaver. He says, it's not going to it's not going to last if you want to wrestle. Yeah. At that point, I had no I like I've been doing it this long with it hurt. I'll figure out a way, you know, I wasn't ready to I wasn't ready to give it up yet. And so I waited a couple of years and then I call I call Dr. Dugas. And I said, because he assisted on on the first one with Dr. Andrews. I said, hey, you guys doing anything new with the shoulder? And he says, yeah, he's like, come on down. He said, I think I can hook you up. I said, oh, shit, OK, I wish somebody called me, you know, let me know. You know, let's let me know what's going on. And so same kind of deal. Have the surgery wake up. See, you know, Michelle's sitting there, see her. Didn't have the quite the same disappointed look on her face, you know, about this time here comes Dr. Dugas and he goes, well, he goes, plan A. No, that didn't work, which would have to rechatch everything. He said, plan B. I didn't work either. Oh, shit. I said, which is plan C. He says, which will help your, you know, your recovery time. He says, well, what I did. They took the part of my infraspinatus, the one in the back, they detached part of it, stretched it over the top. So my infraspinatus is doing double duty now. Wow. So it works where I if you were to look down before the surgery, like if you had a tube that could see down in my shoulder, I was one hundred percent exposed, wow, joint. Damn. So now I'm about 50 to 70 percent covered by the infraspinatus that he stretched over the top and reattached it. Once again, modern medicine. Wow. You know, I'm not my right side. It's not as strong as my left side. I'm right hand dominant, but I'm. Twice as three times as strong as I was before I had the surgery. Wow. But that's that's incredible. That's incredible. Shout out to the doctors being able to help the undertaker and just shout out to him wrestling that long with that type of injury. This is why I'm always have respect for wrestlers, bro, especially that are out there day in, day out, putting their bodies on the line like that, bro. And just going to the doctors, amen. I know I heard a pop, but just shoot me with some quarter zone. I'll be good. Like that's insanity, true insanity. Much respect. That's why he's the goat is one of the greatest to ever do it. And much respect to these wrestlers destroying their bodies for our entertainment. And comment down below. Let me know, man, your favorite undertaker match and or moment from him. He's had so many of them. Let me know your favorite so we can, you know, go down memory lane and show our support for the goat himself. But I appreciate all love and support for all 250 K. And I'm still here to speed you to the rest of the world. Appreciate you. I can't even meet you on the next one. Peace.
