Rick Boogs has provided an update on the torn quad he sustained at WrestleMania 38.
At the time, doctors told him his quad was “too strong for the tendon” and it was flexing so hard, it ripped the tendon totally off the bone. The heavy metal heavyweight underwent surgery in the week following the injury.
Early estimates had him away from the ring for 6-12 months.
On Saturday morning, Boogs posted a “recovery update” video detailing his current status.
“I’m just doing machines at the gym, like a cookie-cutter right now, that’s all I can do,” said Boogs. “I can’t use the lower extremity, you know what I’m saying, the horse leg, I’ve gotta let that puppy heal.”
Boogs says he’s ahead of schedule on his physical therapy and is eager to test the horse power of the repaired horse leg. He’s also keeping his fanny pack stuffed with fig bars.
