One of the saddest tales in wrestling is the conclusion of Jason Jordan’s WWE career. The business was pushing him as a potential star. Jordan was scheduled to compete against Kurt Angle, his storyline dad, at WrestleMania 34.

Two months before the incident, Jordan hurt his neck. With a backstage segment in which Angle sent him home, he was written off television. Later reports said Jason will return to WWE programming in a year, only for him to vanish from view after that. On the most recent episode of his podcast, Kurt Angle spoke with the former American Alpha member about his storyline.

Angle started by describing Jordan’s minimally invasive neck surgery for a ruptured disc. Kurt admitted on-air that he had undergone a similar operation himself. Angle gave a negative response when asked if he had been able to resolve all problems with the operation.

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.

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.

Then, Kurt Angle discussed Jason Jordan’s new position as producer for WWE. He asserted that in his current role, the rising star has discovered his calling. Later, he said that Jason is still dealing with the aftereffects of his injuries, which ended his career. Jordan is still with WWE as a backstage producer, a position in which he has reportedly thrived in. Check out the episode of The Kurt Angle Show where they talk about Jason Jordan below.
