WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash recently shared details about his latest surgical procedure on his “Kliq This” podcast, revealing the extensive work done to repair his left shoulder. This marks Nash’s 38th surgery overall and the ninth on the same shoulder/bicep area.
Nash described the procedure as significantly more intensive than anticipated, lasting three and a half hours, more than double the initial estimate. He explained that the surgery involved multiple procedures: “I had a small incision where they took some cysts out. I had another arthroscope where they ground the end of my clavicle and took some spurring.”
The former WWE Champion elaborated on the challenges of diagnosing his shoulder issues, highlighting the strength of his deltoid muscles masking underlying damage. “It was one of those things where it’s almost like a kiss of death for me,” Nash stated. “They say, ‘How’s your arm mobility?’ (he raises his arm). They say there’s probably nothing in there. Well, my fu**ing deltoids are so big and they’re so dominant, that my rotator cuffs can be torn off the fu**ing bone, and the only thing that happens is I’ll do a movement and I’ll fu**ing feel my humerus pop out of the fu**ing joint because it’s not fu**ing tethered down right.”
Nash went on to detail the specific injuries addressed during the surgery, explaining that the pain had become increasingly problematic. “I was starting to get a ton of grinding. I had a full thickness supraspinatus tear. I tore my bicep, and I waited because the MRI said it wasn’t torn,” he revealed.
While Nash has a history of bouncing back from numerous surgeries, the extensive nature of this latest procedure suggests a potentially longer recovery period. Best wishes to Nash on a full recovery.
