Alex Shelley Talks About Injuries He's Suffered With New Japan P

Well it looks like Former TNA star Alex Shelly has had a lot of
injuries over in japan. he had the following to say on his
twitter about the various injuries he has suffered with New
Japan Pro Wrestling: it just shows how crazy things can get over
there at times. But by the sound of it he is still loving it ..
"September 2012, my first @njpw1972 tour. 4 broken front teeth
via rabbit clothesline from Rocky Romero. I could hear my teeth
"Ping!" when they hit the guard rail and spit chunks out as I
finished the match. Later, I could smell the burning and taste
the dust when they ground down the shards to bond them when I
went back to Detroit after the tour.
April 2013, partially paralyzed vocal cord via Prince Devitt
lariat. Had to change some of the songs at band practice and now
I sound like a full time smoker. Not counting the damage from
the brutal dropkicks to the face.
June 2013, slightly fractured skull via Plancha from Taka
Michinoku. Spinal fluid actually leaked out my nose for a week
after and I had I idea of the severity until I went to the
doctor weeks later. Wrestled again that night against Devitt in
a dream come true.
Finally, September 2013, severe sciatica via Liger Bomb from
@taichi0319. Bad enough injury that I had to let a bunch of
people down and forego my chance to become a 3 time IWGP Jr. Tag
Champion. Had a hard time walking, couldn't workout, and totally
rethought my life."
Shelly also questioned whether he should retire from wrestling
or not:
"I don't consider myself tough, persay. I just really love
wrestling. And @njpw1972 is wrestling. I was "orphaned", by my
choice, and NJPW gave me a home. So while I waited in the doc's
office, I really thought that 2012-2013 was my favorite year of
my career. I grew the most as a wrestler, I (hopefully) won over
@njpw1972 fans and proved to everyone I could adapt and learn
and go in the ring. This was the first time I thought "Maybe I
need to get out." So, understandably, I was pretty scared when I
went in again last week. But nope. I am supposed to continue
wrestling, I think. Cleared to lift weights, burnout on cardio,
and should make a full recovery. :)"

He seems a glutton for punishment! So when we all think that
wrestling is fake we should think again and think of him!

NJPW is a hard place to be, with his style its even harder. He
has also caused some damage in Japan. He gave Sonjay Dutt a
concussion on a Zero One show a few years ago when he missed
timed a top rope senton. Hope he is well soon though.
