John Silver discussed suffering an injury while working a TNT Title match with Darby Allin on an episode of AEW Dynamite on March 25th.
It’s a shoulder injury, but he won’t need surgery. Here is what he had to say:
“I was happy with everything. I know a lot of people were watching and talking about it and a lot of people reached out to me randomly from companies everywhere. Some people I don’t even talk to often were hitting me up and saying how much they liked the match and how much they were rooting for me. It was really cool to see how much people were invested. I thought the match went really well. Obviously, I hurt my shoulder during the match. I also bashed my head on the concrete. I had a huge knot on the back of my head. I hit my head, and Alex (Reynolds) jumps over the railing and I’m like, ‘Alex, I’m fucked.’ I look over and the camera is right there and I’m like, ‘Ah shit, a camera.’ I moved my arm. ‘Ah, my shoulder is fucked.’ It just sucks to get hurt and now I have to take a little bit of time off. I won’t be away from TV, though. It was just really cool to have a main event match for a title and people were really invested.”
“It happened when I went over the guardrail. I landed on my left shoulder, but I hurt my right shoulder. I tried to post with my right and everything got stretched out. I got the MRI, and it turns out I’ve had a torn labrum for a year. Once the inflammation goes down, I have to strengthen around the labrum and then I’ll be back. My range of motion is already getting better. I’ll be back sooner than I think. I’m already doing legs at the gym and doing cardio.”
