PEDIGREE? WHAT PEDIGREE?
He highlights how he didn’t even remember taking the Pedigree from The Game or even being back in the ring.
“None caused me any grief or noticeable injuries. That said, it only takes one heavy blow to the head where you feel the lasting, annoying and extremely frustrating effects that will throw a monkey wrench into everything that defines you as a human being."
“I do not recall taking the Pedigree afterwards or even being back in the ring after said chair shot.”
We’ve seen what concussions can do to superstars, most recently Daniel Bryan was forced to retire because of concussions. Hopefully, other companies can follow.
