Luke Menzies, the wrestler formerly known as Ridge Holland, continues his media tour.
In an interview with Branson Quirke of TMZ, he detailed the injury suffered in a match against Moose in TNA. He also detailed what his recovery process will look like, and commented on WWE releasing him from his contract.Â
“I had whatâ€s called a Lisfranc injury,†Menzies said. “Basically, itâ€s like a dislocation of the midfoot. The ligament that holds the midfoot together got ruptured. So what they do, they go in and put two screws in there and bring the foot back together. And itâ€s tedious. Itâ€s a tedious process because thereâ€s not a lot of blood flow that gets to that area. Itâ€s weight-bearing as well. Itâ€s probably a seven-month recovery … but there can be complications. So right now Iâ€m in a boot. Iâ€ve just started light weight bearing, and then … Iâ€ve been doing a bit of the [physical therapy] at the [Performance Center], but right now itâ€s been outsourced to somewhere close to my home, so we can start rocking and rolling.â€
Menzies is also likely to undergo neck fusion surgery, saying he has been dealing with tingling in his arms for some time now.
Menzies also addressed the way WWE released him early from his contract after originally telling him his contract would not be renewed.
“The most recent thing was definitely down to, I think, my outburst on Twitter,†Menzies said. “So Iâ€ve got to take responsibility for that. I just needed to vent and I didnâ€t go about it the right way. We all signed a contract. Unfortunately, in that contract there is a termination clause, and I breached that. So thatâ€s a responsibility that I have to take. … WWE, with the contract I signed, are within their rights to do that. As much as people want to point a finger at The Dub, you probably want to point the other three fingers at myself.â€
