Honestly not sure. Thought it was a lot more personal, not an injury and longer term.

Updated: I do believe Meltzer's report is accurate. The other health issue Meltzer is referring to should be up to Lars to publicly disclose himself. It isn't anything sleazy or embarrassing or anything like that. NXT and Meltzer are doing the right thing but keeping it private. Common courtesy and all that.

Journeymen wrestlers can have a lot to teach don't get me wrong but this seems like a lame choice

Maria might have a shot at getting signed as she's so different. A weird hodgepodge of feminine and masculine characteristics. Hard to describe her as she keeps changing her appearance and hasn't really figured herself as a wrestler or person yet.

I love this hype about WWE signing Evolve talents, as if we're suppose to think the bigger names are signing when it's probably just these guys like Dickinson, Jaka and Kyle the Beast.

Let's go down the list. Keith Lee clearly wants to join New Japan. ZSJ alreadyn turned down WWE and works for New Japan. Fred Yehi and Darby are gaining more traction on the indies. Riddle is doing what he's doing and makes big money. Thatcher also turned them down.

The Observer:

quote:

He’s had some problems with the knee that he had reconstructive surgery on and there are also issues with his pituitary. He had surgery a few years ago, after coming to WWE when they found out his look and freak size was due to acromegaly, the same thing guys like Andre, Antonio Silva, Giant Silva, Great Khali, The French Angel and Choi Hong-man all had which led to their larger than life features like giant hands and giant feet and there were some issues relating to the surgery. He’s expected back training very shortly

Lar's condition makes him wide open for Cancer and other gnarly health issues too.

Big Show got the surgery when he was still quite (comparatively) young, right? Which is why he never really developed the oversized features like Andre the Giant had?
