Randy Orton recently was on Impaulsive podcast, where he talked about Matt Riddle. Randy says he was dealing with pain during his tag team run with Riddle, but Riddle took most of the physicality in the match.
“I changed a lot of stuff off, this last 18 months, I really needed the time. I had a lot of ailments, I couldn’t stand for more than a couple minutes without having pains shoot down my legs.”
When I would sit, I had a disk that was slipping every time I would bend. So, on a plane, sitting here, my feet would go numb and I’d have pain shooting down my legs. It really sucked, it really was hard.”
“That last year before I had to leave because of the back, I was in a tag team with former WWE superstar Matt Riddle, and I’ve gotta give him props because that year we tagged together, I was not able to be in that ring unless I was in there with someone like him, because he was able to take the brunt of the physicality, he’d tag me, I’d come in, do my s**t.”
“So if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have made it that far, but I had some great doctors, they fixed me up right, they didn’t cut through any muscle which would enable me to get back in the ring, because once you start cutting muscle, that’s never going to heal back, you’re done. So I’m just blessed all the way around.” (H/T: WrestleTalk)
