Chad Gable recalls learning about his torn rotator cuff and that he would need surgery:

“Basically to fill you in on what happened, this stems back a while, but in October of this last year [2024], I was wrestling Gunther on a live event in the UK. Something happened to my bicep tendon on this side [right side], which has never happened to me before. And I don’t even know specifically in the match what happened. It was nobody’s fault. It’s just a freak thing.

I was walking to the back after the match. My bicep was feeling very funky, and I looked down at it, and it was also looking very funky. I got it checked out. It turned out I had a slight tear in my right bicep tendon, the one that attaches at the shoulder. But nothing serious enough that required surgery or whatever. So kept wrestling, finished the tour, carried on as normal.

— But progressively the right side, specifically my arm, was giving me more and more trouble. Sometimes I couldn’t extend my elbow all the way. Sometimes it hurt, too. Sometimes I started having pain down here in the lower part of the bicep. And so eventually I decided I better get this checked out. At least just for my sanity so I know everything’s okay.

I got MRIs on my shoulder, my tricep, my bicep tendons involved in that, too, to get a look at what was going on, and the doctor kind of explained to me they found some different issues. Our doctor wanted to see me down in person for these. When I went down there, we also decided to get an image of my left shoulder because it had also been giving me some nagging injuries and got some news that I was not expecting.

It turns out all this time I was so worried about my right side and the left side was the one that had all these issues to my surprise. I got this news that the rotator cuff was torn and this knocked me off my feet bad. I'm the type of guy that expects to go in and be told that this pain I'm dealing with is like, you got some issues, but it's nothing that requires surgery. That's what it's always been. Through amateur wrestling all the way through my time with WWE. I’ve never been seriously hurt. And they went on to explain to me essentially that it had to be fixed. A torn tendon off the bone is not gonna repair itself.

The initial stage that I had to go through was denial because I didn't want to accept that I could be hurt. I'd never been hurt and that was one of the hard things for me to deal with. And getting to that acceptance stage took a while.”

I remember when Phil Ivey won his 10th bracelet in 2014.

I could’ve never imagined back then that, a decade later, I would be on hand to witness No. 11 and get to interview him after.

@justinqmeng Just wanted to clarify. I meant to say "when, not if" and accidentally said the opposite, haha.

@AudioCloudLive The fools hand but I'm obviously biased there

@bencb789 In your opinion, what is the best way for a rec player looking to elevate his game to start studying and form consistent, sustainable study habits? For me I feel it's less of a motivation issue and more about not knowing where to begin.

[Ryan Lashmar @LashmarRyan]

@bencb789 Forming consistent study habits. Learning how to better interpret solvers (figuring out WHY a solver recommends what it recommends across a plethora of unique, complex scenarios).
