Stone Cold Steve Austin has revealed that he needs to go through a major surgery as soon as possible. The star talked about it in his recent interview.
The star recently appeared on Bobbycast (h/t Post Wrestling) where he spoke about his issues with his health – especially his knee.
Stone Cold Steve Austin said that thanks to an injury that he had suffered earlier in his life to his ACL, he had issues with his knee most of his time in WWE. The legend said that while the earlier injury was what caused the issues, he is now in a position where he needs to go through surgery and replace his left knee as soon as possible.
“So, anyway, subsequently, that’s what led to all my knee issues down the road and I’ve had ACL, PCL put in there from cadaver ligaments several years ago and you know, if I’m telling you like it is and I will, I need a new left knee here pretty quick.”
Stone Cold Steve Austin revealed what injury caused his issues in the future
Stone Cold revealed how he suffered an ACL injury in his junior year of college. He said that he had never felt anything like it and they had to make a decision to either repair it or not. They chose to not repair it and depended on his quad and hamstrings instead.
“That was my junior year (of college when I suffered a torn ACL). My first year at North Texas State University there in Denton, Texas. Running down on a kickoff coverage and I hit my guy; was supposed to block and man, I went down. I’d never felt anything like what I felt in my left knee and I tore my ACL but it was a mop-end tear where you tear it in the middle and the edges are kind of frayed. That’s why they call it a mop. But, they can either repair it, or not repair it. Based on the strength of my quads and my hamstrings, they didn’t repair that knee.”
The star ended up with several issues with his knees as a result.
