No matter the style or the promotion, injuries are going to happen in pro wrestling as it’s a contact performance with elements of entertainment. For certain companies and wrestlers such as AEW and NJPW that have more of a hard-hitting, high-flying, and higher risk-based product, it’s going to happen more frequently.
The star
Chuck Taylor finds himself on the sidelines, answering the question from fans about where he has been as of late. After breaking into the wrestling business in 2002, he has worked for several promotions, including Chikara, PWG, EVOLVE, Dragon Gate, TNA Wrestling, ROH, NJPW, and now AEW.
He was one of the originals to sign with All Elite Wrestling in 2019, where he has been paired with Trent Beretta, Orange Cassidy, Kris Statlander, and Danhausen.
The injury
Taylor’s last match was on the October 4th episode of Rampage, where the Best Friends and The Hardys beat Angelo Parker, Daniel Garcia, Jake Hager & Matt Menard.
Pwinsider reports the word making the rounds is Taylor is dealing with a foot injury, which explains his absence from in-ring action. The report didn’t specify the injury nor provide a timeframe for his return.
We wish him a speedy recovery.
