Scott Steiner is said to be in pretty rough shape and his days in the ring could be numbered. Steiner is said to be pretty hard on himself about his condition, and most of the locker room feels bad for him at times despite his reputation as an absolute lunatic who has threatened people’s lives over booking decisions. In WCW, Jeff Jarrett was always known as the guy who could keep Scott under control and calm him down. Says one fellow wrestler regarding Scott‘s health: "He can't bend over and tie his shoe because of his lower back pain. His stretching routine before matches is barbaric just so he has the mobility to get through a match because he's wound so tight. His back is so bad watching him go through a 12 step process to sit in a car seat is excruciating. It's so not a secret that his back causes him tremendous pain and is an overwhelming concern in his life every day" Friends continue to encourage Steiner to back off on his muscle-mass, but he continues to be stubborn and prioritize size over mobility.

The following is from TNAWrestling.com: On Tuesday night, TNAwrestling.com received the following update from Kevin Nash, who is still recovering in a Charlotte, North Carolina, hospital following emergency surgery. As a result, Nash was unable to compete at Sunday's "Genesis" Pay-Per-View. TNAwrestling.com would like to thank Nash for providing this update to the fans, and everyone at TNA wishes the superstar a speedy recovery. Greetings from Charlotte, still. I know I've only been in the airport, hotel and hospital since I've been here after arriving late Saturday afternoon, but I've run into some very nice people. The hospital staff is very nice, and one young brunette nurse is really a looker. Kinda tall Megan Fox-looking. I have some sort of infection in my right elbow; the culture has not come back yet. The doctors have been treating it as MRSA. For those of you who do not know, MRSA is an antibiotic-resistant infection. A mutated superbug. Lucky me. Oh, by the way, did I tell you that I was operated on Monday afternoon. That's surgery No. 27. After being cut on that many times, sometimes you forget, even if it was just Monday when I was operated on. (Editor's note: Nash's arm was cut open to drain blood due to massive swelling). Don't know when this will heal, depends on how my body reacts to the antibiotics. I have a gaping, open wound in my elbow, with the equivalent of a small ShopVac hooked up to it. I'm sure I'm paying 2-bills to rent that bad boy. When I go home, I'll hook up the Black & Decker, and save the insurance company some money. Hated missing the Pay-Per-View because I felt like the Mafia was just starting to get some momentum. But my left arm is OK, so I should be able to whack somebody at the next iMPACT events in Orlando. Heard Kurt and Jeff had a great match; I look forward to watching that. I would like to continue on with this blog, but American Idol is upcoming. Can't miss. I'll blog more this week. Nash …"The MRSA Man" Oh MRSA, MRSA me … things ain't like they used to be. Kevin Nash
