Former TNA X Division wrestler Jesse Sorensen joined Dave Lagreca and Doug Mortman on Busted Open last week. Here are some highlights from the interview:
Whether he'll be able to get in the ring again: "Yeah, I think so, eventually. I think right now they're just concerned on all the miles on my neck. If I was coming back right now for a one time deal it might not be that big an issue but to go back on the road full time would just be too tough on my neck right now. It's only been about a year and a month now since I broke my neck."
Where he is health and job-wise: "Health wise, I feel I'm pretty close to 100 percent. I'm still doing rehab on my neck. I rehab 3 times a day. As for a job, I was wanting to come back and wrestle but my neck still has some issues, bumping and everything like that, so as of now I'm doing marketing and production for TNA, I'm backstage now."
What he went through that night against Zema Ion: "The move, I don't even remember exactly how it happened or what happened, I just remember I turned around and I see Zema do the moonsault and it looked like he was overshooting so I stuck my hands up to block and clearly that didn't happen. I felt the knee hit me in the head and I blacked out at the time and then referee Brian Stiffler rolled out and checked on me, said, 'hey, you alright?' At first, I felt like I was fine, well then in my head I'm telling myself to push myself up just to get up and I look over and my wrists are completely bent in and nothings moving. Then I remember Stiffler rolled back out and he was like, 'hey, you know I'm going to count you out, you have to get up,' and I said, 'I can't move, I'm paralyzed.'"
Support he has received from the fans: "I was extremely surprised. I remember when I first got to the hospital I told Dixie Carter that I don't want everyone to forget about me since I wasn't on TV that long and then instantly, within 2 days, my twitter went from around 1,500 people to around 12,000 people. It was cool to see everything blow up like that. But of course I was paralyzed at the time so I wasn't really using my hands to tweet a whole lot."
