01/26/00: Actually, X-MAN

Posted By: Homeboy


Steve Austin had neck surgery to removes some bone spurs that were pressing on his spine.

Austin himself said that it (the injury) occurred when Owen Hart (R.I.P.) gave him a vicious piledriver about two years ago. Normally, the head of the person being piledriven ain't supposed to evne touch the mat - it's how the move is done without breaking necks. BUT, this particular piledriver had Austin's head clearly slam into the mat and fused two vertebrate.

And don't give me some "Homeboy - don't you know it's fake?" crap. While the moves ARE staged, some of them have potential for disaster. Ask Darren "I'm paralyzed from my neck down" Drozdov about how "real" D-Lo Brown's running-powerslam was.

But X-man is right about Austin's 6month recovery time, assuming all goes well.

Oh Hell Yeah.
