- RAW Superstar John Morrison spoke with Slam Wrestling last week to promote SummerSlam, where he likely will be facing R-Truth. Morrison revealed that he’s returned before he’s 100% from the recent surgery. Here are some highlights:
Returning before he’s healed:
“I’m coming back before I’m 100% healed. With nerve injuries, it’s really weird. My doctor said that from (the week leading up to his return), I could be 100% healed in the next three weeks or the next year. It’s kind of a mysterious injury … mysterious and provocative. Which fits with me, because that’s kind of how I roll. I was like, ‘I can’t wait a year,’ so I made the decision to come back — and be careful — but come back to doing what I love.”
Not changing his style despite the injury:
“I thought about that, but I came to the conclusion that I don’t want to change the way that I do things, because that’s who I am. That’s the style that I developed my whole career, and it’s not something I want to change. I want to push myself to the limit and see if I can still hang with everything I’ve done in the past. So far I’ve been able to without making any drastic changes. I’m hoping over the next few months I’ll recover. I don’t feel that I’ve lost a step, and I don’t think that I’m going to.”
