Lance Archer reveals he's been dealing with torn triceps *NJPW DOMINION SPOILERS*

[Chris]

Lance Archer says he hasn't wrestled as much in 2023 due to a torn triceps.

Following his loss to Will Ospreay at NJPW Dominion on Sunday, Archer revealed the news in his post-match backstage promo.

Archer said:

There is a reason I haven't been wrestling a lot and it has nothing to do with bad booking you dumbs**ts. What everybody doesn't even realize is that I've been battling a torn triceps and I've kept it quiet, I didn't tell anybody, because I don't need your sympathy, I don't need your get well wishes, I don't need anything. I just needed time and now I'm back.

Prior to his match with Ospreay on Sunday, Archer hadn't wrestled since a 1PW show on April 22. He also didn't wrestle for a two-month period between a Road to the Tokyo Dome show on December 23, 2022, and an episode of AEW Rampage on February 22, 2023. Following that, he only wrestled squash matches for another two months until facing Fred Rosser at NJPW Collision in Philadelphia on April 16.

Archer was not among the names NJPW announced for the G1 Climax 33 this summer. He finished with six points in last year's tournament. It was the fifth G1 (2011-14, 2019, & 2022) of his career.

Miro still

 

[Comrade Khan]

ngl I do find it comical that ''Ricky Starks is booked bad'' and ''Jay White should be booked against someone better than Ricky Starks'' are two complaints I see simultaneously on this very site. The duality of man

 

[Alexa]

Mean, I couldn't care less because everyone is going to say x is being booked badly because they arent champion and so on. You wnat to say bad booking...watch the generation wars of DG...that was bad

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

I mean Ricky was at one point the most over bsbyface in company you could argue and now he's gonna take a backseat to BC vs. FTR it look like. I can see some points on Ricky. I mean you talk about that whc stuff it was months back now and was right at the start if mjf title run. I don't think anyone thought Ricky had any chance of winning. I'm surprised he's not more involved with like a TNT Championship opportunity. Ricky definitely isn't as over as he was at mjf feud.
