Josh Alexander on what he learned from his neck injury: “To wait and actually rehab it because I came back after six weeks, I didn’t really listen to doctors too much obviously…but the doctor told me I had to stop wrestling.”

On waking up after his neck surgery: “Well I woke up from surgery and told me he didn’t have to fuse the second level. He was like ‘yeah it wasn’t as bad’ and I was just like ‘oh wow.’ He’s like ‘you can go back to wrestling, just actually rehab this time.”
