So suplex is a wrestling maneuver that started in amateur wrestling.
And there's multiple kinds of suplexes, but basically you would grab your opponent, either lock them around the waist where you're face to face or from behind, lock them around the waist and you lift them up and drive them down.
They're a maneuver that allow one to dominate a match, whether it be amateur wrestling or professional wrestling or an MMA.
And so in my career from football to wrestling, here's a little laundry list of my injuries.
I've had five knee surgeries, torn ligaments in my knees.
I tore my Achilles, which required surgery.
So four or five knee surgeries, I can't remember now.
A complete Achilles repair on my Achilles tendon, my left leg.
Let's see, a complete shoulder reconstruction where I tore everything.
And what happened was it's called a sublux.
So that's when your bone gets ripped out of socket.
And so when something like that happens, it's pretty traumatic.
And that happened on the football field for me.
And I had to get all of it repaired.
And the worst injury that I had, if those weren't bad enough, was...
I was wrestling a wrestler who is now a famous actor.
I was wrestling John Cena at MetLife Stadium for WrestleMania.
And in that match, I wind up tearing my quadricep and my adductor off my pelvis.
And when that happened, I knew something was really wrong.
