Injuries can happen at any given time in pro wrestling and now TNA star Victoria Crawford has revealed she suffered a sternum injury recently.
While speaking on Going Ringside, Victoria Crawford revealed she recently suffered a sternum injury. She explained that wrestling is very physical, and after another wrestler laid in on her sternum, she was left bruised and had to take it easy for a couple of weeks.
Crawford pointed out how much you rely on that part of your body without even realizing it. Before the injury, she never thought about her sternum, but once it started hurting, she was shocked at how much it affected everything.
Victoria added that at one point, she took a clothesline and did not really think about the impact or the way the move would hit her upper body. As she ran into it, she felt the effects even more, showing just how important it is to protect that area.
“I had some sternum issues. I did. So, you know, our job’s very physical, but I had got, you know, my girlfriend like laid in on my sternum. And so, there was a couple weeks where I was kind of just like, um, kind of bruised and held up.
But the only thing I want to mention about that is how much use you need in this area. Yeah. Didn’t notice it before, because I wouldn’t think of my sternum, but if it’s hurting, you—Yeah. I was like, “Oh my god.” So, um, you know, there were, uh, let’s see. So, yeah, I was taking a clothesline and kind of didn’t really consider the getting the throw at the face, you know, and I’m like running like, yeah.”
Victoria Crawford made her TNA debut a couple of months ago, even though wrestling wasn’t part of her initial plan. Crawford last competed during the latest set of TNA tapings held on June 21st, where she lost to Indi Hartwell in singles competition. Therefore, it’s likely she got hurt during that match and hasn’t competed ever since and so we’ll have to see when Crawford will compete again.
