I got nerve damage, is why I don't wrestle, in my back, in my [sacroiliac (SI) joint]. It will just go out, and I'll be on the ground, and there have been times where I do too much at AEW, and I have to take a wheelchair through the airport, and it pains. Because I'm prideful, I hate it when I can't walk through the airport. Feels like my leg is on fire. I'm not saying this for a pity party for me; I'm saying that Darren Droszdov is in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, paralysed from the chest down."
