During a recent appearance on “Busted Open Radio”, Impact Wrestling Superstar Sami Callihan commented on his rehab after suffering a nasty ankle injury back in September. According to Callihan, he had the screws in his leg removed on December 23rd. You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the status of his ankle: “I got my screws out on December 23. I started taking my first steps a couple of days ago and the Callihan ‘Death Machine’ is starting to lose weight and starting to get stronger each day because I sat around for three months eating Chipotle every day, becoming a fat slug. Now that’s over. New year, new Callihan. Now I’m going to be rebuilt and when I come back to IMPACT Wrestling, there will be hell to pay for people. F*ck you Moose. I don’t care if you’re champion or being a dude on IMPACT. When I come back, I’m going to break your damn legs.”
On when he will be able to return: “I’m gonna keep that close to my chest. It is one of those tings where, with people not knowing when and where I’m going to come back, I can use that to my advantage. I’m a sucker for surprises. When I come back is going to be a time where you least expect it. It’s going to be sooner rather than later. Originally, I thought I was going to be out until August or September. It’s not going to be that.”
On if he has any concerns about when he returns: “I’m 100% going to be at 100%. I own a ring, I built a gym at my house. When I’m ready to come back, I’m not coming back until I’m 100% because I’m not risking that again. When I come back, I will be a different Sami Callihan that no one has ever seen. I’m going to be meaner, nastier, and more angry than I’ve ever been. That’s saying something because I’m a piece of sh*t. With this chip on my shoulder, I’m going to be worse.”
