Tyrus, the NWA World Champion, recently gave a medical update ahead of his title defense against EC3 at the 75th anniversary event. In an interview with Joe Galli on the NWA Instagram Channel, Tyrus revealed that he had to get his knee drained after the Crockett Cup.
According to Tyrus, the procedure was necessary to ensure he could compete at his very best. He stated, “Everything is great. I had to get it drained after the Crockett Cup. The doctor advised me to take some time off and rehab and look at the way I’m training and stuff like that. No one is in this business for as long as I’ve been in this business or in this sport, you’re going to have some nicks and nacks and sometimes you have to listen to your body. I needed to take the time off to get right.”
By taking the time off to recover, Tyrus is confident that he will enter the NWA 75 event in peak condition. He expressed his determination, saying, “I didn’t want to come into (NWA) 75 limping. I’m coming in with no excuses, 100%, whatever happens happens. If I lose, it will only be one guy’s fault, mine. When I win, it’ll be one guy’s fault, mine. Instead of a retirement party, we’ll have an after party.”
In the same interview, Tyrus issued a challenge to EC3 for a Bull-Rope match at NWA 75. He even added a high-stakes stipulation, stating that if he loses, he will retire from wrestling forever. Fans can read more about this challenge on Wrestling Headlines’ article here.
