Talked to Kevin Nash today and he is still recovering from a staph infection in his elbow that may not allow him to wrestle at WrestleFest XIII at Bristol Central High School on March 28. Right now, Nash says the injury is getting better, but also says that the ball where the elbow bends is no longer there - it's just a big hole. He still isn't giving up hope of wrestling, but it just doesn't seem possible. He is having it treated tomorrow and is hoping for some good news."It's not healing as fast as I would like it too," Nash said. "TNA called me today and asked when I would be back and I told them I'd be back as soon as I can. I'm doing the best I can do."
I asked Nash if this latest injury might make him rethink wrestling full time and he said no way. "I've been operated on 27 times already," he said. "Sure, there is a depression that sets in right away, but once you get through that, you just want to get back."
I have a lot more on the Nash injury and I'll have a big feature story in The Bristol Press soon. I'll let you know when I think it will run. Also, Northeast Wrestling has signed former WWE tag team champion Paul London to the event as an insurance policy. Also also, I put the event poster here so people can see the information for ticket sales and information.
Since the poster is really small ... call 860-516-9915 for ticket information.

Kevin Nash is one of my favorite wrestlers. Hopefully he can make it to the event. Thanks for the update Brad! (Has anyone seen Mr. Bristol lately?)
Nowhere to be seen ... at least I haven't seen him in forever. Nash probably won't wrestle, but he'll be there in some capacity. We'll see though.
