So buddy went from nearly paralyzed and unable to walk in December to boarding flights and calling fights in early March? Going back and reading this story and something seems off :jbhmm:.
For Ring Announcer David Diamante, His Fight Starts Now | Sports Illustrated




He had those injuries, it was a near death experience and he’s gonna be in a lot of pain even now but he’s lucky it wasn’t slightly different as he could be dead or paralysed for life. He’s just been able to recover enough now through intense rehab. In wrestling it’s a bit like Ric Flair, was in a plane crash then was wrestling again months later.

I was hanging off the rafters for this one.

Props to you, Pat. You suggested I take the train from Chicago to NYC after my flight got cancelled due to the noreaster storm. It was the only way I would get to NYC on time.:wow:

the train is an underrated mode of transportation...logged enough miles of travelling to appreciate it lol...shyt i took one 2 weeks ago from boston to newark so i can do a non stop flight to south africa and back out of newark airport when my home airports didnt offer anything like that

yeah the injuries he was described as having would be the type you think that he'd be taking steps to walk in rehab now never mind be able to walk to the point of getting into a ring

Right, i'm familiar with bike/trauma road accidents and recovery is complicated. The more you push, the more it (the injuries) pushes back. Time, for the most part is the appropriate antidote.

Something seems a little amiss, agree.
