Konnan Injury

Konnan’s hip is in really bad shape right now. He has tried everything possible to avoid hip replacement surgery, but nothing has worked out. He’s said to barely even be able to take a few steps without being clearly in incredible pain. The feeling is that if he doesn’t get the surgery soon he may need a wheelchair, and one source says that he was almost in need of one at the last show. Several backstage are saying that Konnan is more intense and passionate than he has been in years with the LAX storyline, and would love to be able to wrestle right now.

yeah ive known about this for awhile he is going to get surgery this week too... he just had to wait a bit i forget why he had to wait but i read it on one of the sites

yeah. he is a great wrestler so you would hate to see him sidelined for a few weeks

and hes accomplished so much in nwa tna and wcw it would be a shame to see him leave

yeah he didnt get it before cuz he didnt have insurance but now TNA is giving him Insurance so he can get fixed... just putting it out there... when Kurt told WWE he needed off like 3 years ago due to drug addiction Vince told him to take care of it on the road

well thys good......... but i dont understand if hes gettin paa\yed so good how come he hasnt got insurance

discimination agaist Latinos. and yeah i knew what you meant.

oh good i thought you were talkin to me t

it's a shame that such a great wrestler has an injury. but it doesn't look like he's in pain so i think he'll be ok

he needs a crutch to walk around the backstage area as of now... after the December 10th or 11th show hes getting surgery

konnnan update

As many of you know already, Konnan was scheduled for a hip replacement last week in Mexico. While doing the pre-surgery prep work, which includes being, checked over, doctors were alerted when his kidneys weren’t working properly. Konnan had an internal infection along with not having many antibodies to fight the infection. Due the kidney issues, the surgery was postponed until next week some time.

Konnan returned to the United States to undergo kidney dialysis 3 times a week under the doctor’s orders with hopes of that it will reduce his chances of a fatal accident during the surgery.

Once Konnan found out his kidneys were in bad shape, he immediately thought it was from the long-term steroid use. Doctors said his kidney failure was not due to steroid use however it did contribute to it. Like many wrestlers, Konnan has been using painkillers to ease his pain over the years so he could continue to wrestle.

Several years back, Konnan was told he would need a hip replacement later down the road. Instead of taking care of things at the time, he used painkillers to control it but only to find out he’s done more internal damage than he thought.

TNA has told Konnan that they will not pay for his kidney transplant surgery which is going run him around $100,000 in the U.S. TNA has offered to loan him the money to have it done but he must pay it back.

Konnan can get the surgery done in Mexico for much cheaper at around $35,000.

The Roldan family who now runs AAA, has told Konnan that they plan on running several benefit shows to help him pay for the surgery. Konnan is the head booker for AAA.



Damm, I feel bad for Konnan. Good to see that AAA is trying to help. TNA are being real assholes. They can't afford to pay 100,000 dollars to help Konnan, yet they can waste 1,000,000 on their stupid VKM angle. How fucking retarded. I hope everything goes well for Konnan.

And anyone who feels that the VKM thing is more important than his health is a retard.

also Konnan released a statement saying people that hes still looking for a kidney and he is blood type O positive.
