Jonathan Gresham Dealing With A Groin Strain, Discusses How The Injury Happened
On August 7, it was announced that Jonathan Gresham would be out for four to six weeks with an undisclosed injury.
Gresham last wrestled on August 3 (taped on July 28) episode of IMPACT Wrestling.
Speaking on the Better Than Broadway podcast, Gresham discussed his current injury.
“I’m doing much better. I ended up getting a groin strain. It was my first time having it. I fell out of the ring, probably through the middle rope. I didn’t catch myself. I’m basically supposed to catch myself, spin, and land on the floor. It’s a basic move you learn in the first couple months of training. I just missed it this time. I ended up floating because I didn’t catch myself and I took a back bump on the floor through the middle rope. At first it was, ‘ohh, that hurt.’ I got back in the ring, finished what I was doing. As I got outside, I kept stretching it, and it kept getting worse. I was standing there watching guys work out and as I got up to move, I couldn’t walk. I ended up standing there for 30 minutes thinking, ‘this will go away eventually.’ At the end of training, I let everyone else leave, I tried to walk, and I collapsed,” he said. “I’m going into week three now. On week four, when there’s no pain, I can probably start stretching again. From everything I’ve been reading and from what my doctor told me, do not stretch at all with a groin strain.”
It is unknown when Gresham will return to the ring.
Fightful wishes him the best in his recovery.
