One of the more baffling storylines in recent memory in WWE was Kurt Angle having an illegitimate son. It would be revealed that one half of the American Alpha tag team, Jason Jordan – was Angle’s son. Sadly, no one knows where this storyline would have went – as Jordan would suffer a neck injury just a few months in, and forced him into an early retirement. Angle has kept up with Jordan, and had some details about just how bad the damage was.
Kurt Angle Describes Just What Happened To The Neck Of Jason Jordan
While speaking on The Kurt Angle Show, Angle got on the topic of Jason Jordan. He would describe just how the injury happened – and how surgery would have went.
“What happens is your vertebrae, you have discs in between each vertebrae. When you injure your neck, the disc slides. What happens is it slides to the side. So it’s sticking out of the vertebrae. You have nerves that come out of the vertebrae, and those get blocked by the disc. Then you can’t feel your arm and you don’t have motor skills with one arm or both arms depending if they slide both ways. So usually, it’s just one way. You can’t feel one arm and you can’t use one arm. That’s what Jason was having trouble with. His disc sled and blocked the nerves to his arm.”
Going a bit deeper, he’d reveal that Jordan has suffered long term motor skill issues, stemming from the injury. Angle would be quoted saying the following.
“You know what’s crazy he has problems to this day. His motor skills, his hands are on and off all the time. He just can never get right. I’m not sure why that’s occurring with him because with me at least I got relief at times. With him, he’s never gotten relief. He has been really struggling with it for years.”
Following his injury, Jordan would find a role as a producer for WWE – a role he took too very well, and holds to this day. Would Jordan have been a main event wrestler for WWE if he didn’t get injured? Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
