Ambrose cut an interview this morning with Fox Sports. Here's some quotes if you wanna read them. I'll underline the important part.
Which is something he's said in the past. Anyway, that brings me to the Roman "bone chips/elbow" thing I've been hearing about for months. Remember that? The comment no one could confirm? Somebody said he had bone chips in his elbow and that he'll eventually take off to get it healed. So, I was watching Ride Along on the Network and this week's episode had Ambrose and Reigns talking about a lot of stuff. Early on in the episode they mentioned being hurt, injuries, you know, that stuff. Ambrose made a comment about taking a hammer and hitting Reigns in the elbow and then Reigns shows the camera. They were talking about it as if it was a known thing.
I guess that somewhat confirms the story given how it looks. How many injuries to most wrestlers have randomly nagging them? I know they can't take off but if that stuff keeps piling up then geez. Roman's eventually going to have to take off to get that fixed because if I remember right, this is the same thing that happened to Cena years ago. Cena kept working and he eventually had to get it fixed. Who knows all the injuries these guys have that they're holding onto.
We're not even talking about the "whoops, my arm popped out" injuries. We're talking about the "ok, I got this injury let's hope my shoulder doesn't f*** up when I do this move" type.
FS: You have such a physical style in the ring and you put your body through a lot. We've seen a lot of injuries lately with Seth Rollins and John Cena, so how have you kept your body together? How have you been able to stay active and stay upright while a lot of people are falling by the wayside around you?
DA: A lot of that just taking care of yourself and training properly. I keep myself flexible, I just compete at my normal body weight. I'm trying to carry around an extra 30 pounds, a lot of injury-prone musculature. I keep my body in its most prime, healthy state and also I've just been lucky.
On the other hand, I'm also constantly hurt. I've been hurt for 10 years. It's not like I'm not constantly dealing with a litany of injuries that I have myself. If it's not one thing, it's another thing but I've just been able to keep rolling. I've not had anything catastrophic happen to me. It's a funny thing because it's always like the crazy freak things. It's not like 'Oh he got hurt when he jumped off the top of the cage.' It's like 'He got hurt stepping into the ring' or 'popped his shoulder out giving a high five'. It's the little things you can't plan for. It's not anything that ever enters my mind.

FS: Going into WrestleMania there are a lot of eyeballs on you, and a lot of expectations and excitement around you going into the match. Do you feel that anticipation growing? And when you hear people say the future of the company lies in your hands, how do you feel about that, especially going into an event as big as this one?
DA: I feel like the present of the company lies in guys like our hands. The guys who are in the business every single day, guys like myself, Roman Reigns, Dolph Ziggler, whoever it is, guys who are out there busting our asses every night, putting smiles on faces and putting our bodies on the line. Guys like myself and Roman Reigns, we take an ownership like these shows are our shows every night.
We feel like this company is our company. As far as WrestleMania, there's a lot of extra excitement, there's so much white noise and people always say stuff. I'm just worried about what I'm doing and going out there and putting on the best match that's in front of me. When you're going in there with Brock Lesnar, you can't have anything else on your mind. I think that's why I've been so successful is that I'm not worrying about anything. I don't really care what anybody thinks, I don't care what anybody else's opinion is, I don't care what anybody else is doing. I just go out there and do what I do and see where the chips fall. And here we are and I'm fighting Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.

FS: You don't get into this business without being being a fan, so when you hear comparisons for your style to famous wrestlers from the past -- and then you have guys like Terry Funk and Mick Foley talking to you going into a match like this -- do you allow yourself a moment to enjoy this and revel in the fact that you are being compared to guys like that?
DA: It's funny how comparisons go and everybody gets comparisons to everybody else, and I don't try to pattern myself from anybody else. But I'm huge fan of the business and I'm an old-school guy so to be able to go off the cuff with Mick Foley, who shows up and wants to be a part of something. Then a guy like Terry Funk who comes all the way to Philadelphia from Amarillo cause he wants to be a part of something. It was really cool with Terry Funk because I think a lot of the old-school guys get a kick out of me and they see what pro wrestling used to be. For him to come all the way to Philadelphia and do that bit and when he walks in and sees WWE and how it is today, he's probably thinking 'What is all this crap?'.
To have an old-school, outlaw, cowboy professional wrestler, who is Terry Funk 24/7, the real deal, to have him in the room and the red light goes on and boom, he's on, he's Terry Funk. I was like 'That's how it's done!' After having a conversation with him, an old-school guy like that, that makes me know I'm on the right track and I've done things my way. It makes me feel good.
