Taz Reveals That He Needs Four Joint Replacements, Will Keep Trying Regenerative Procedures

Taz provides an update on his health.

Taz was one of ECW’s top stars, and he went on to have a memorable run in WWE. Injuries derailed his in-ring career, but he has transitioned into commentary. He has been with AEW since 2019, and he calls AEW Dynamite every week.

On May 1, Taz took to Twitter and stated that he went to an orthopedic surgeon to discuss his knee, as it had been “brutal” for years. The legend wrote that he had testing and X-rays done, and the surgeon determined that Taz needed both of his shoulders and knees to be replaced. Taz wrote that he would not be doing that right now. Instead, he said he would keep trying regenerative procedures and try to deal with the pain.

“Went to a highly acclaimed orthopedic surgeon yesterday to discuss my knee,” Taz wrote. “It’s been brutal for a couple of years, he did testing & X-rays on me. So, both of my shoulders & knees need to be replaced. 4 joints. I am not doing this right now. I’m gonna keep trying regenerative procedures & try to suck it up dealing with the pain.

“This is NOT from bumps… It’s from training too heavy like a caveman trying to be “big”. I’m posting this for today’s wrestlers, please be smarter, times have changed for the better!!”
