Candice Michelle Details Injuries She Suffered In Final Year of WWE
In an interview with Busted Open Radio (via Wrestling Inc), Candice Michelle spoke about the injuries she suffered during her final year as an active wrestler in the WWE. She returned to the company in February 2008 after breaking her clavicle, only to break it in four places during her return match. She would keep trying to return only to get released by WWE in June 2009.
She said: “The truth is, wasn’t until recently I realized what really happened. I experienced a massive trauma — I was knocked out on TV, I had a massive concussion, broke my collar bone, shattered the collar bone, had a huge surgery, tore two ligaments in my ankle … and as wrestlers, you guys know we don’t want to stop. I kept trying to come back too early, just dealing with the physical element. I never even knew there’s a way to deal with it. Now, in my life, that’s what I do — I’m helping people deal with emotional traumas that get stuck in our bodies.“
