What's up, everybody? You're listening to Busted Open After Dark. It's your girl, Denise Salcedo. And today we are going to be chatting with TNA Wrestling's very own Casey Navarro.
This is the Busted Open Podcast.
What insights does KC Navarro share about his wrestling journey?
TNA Wrestling's very own Casey Navarro. Casey, what up? How are you?
Pardon me. I'm feeling all right. It's cool to be on here. I've never been on the After Dark show. So this is cool.
Here we go. This is where the things go down. So the first thing I got to say, Casey, I got something to say to you. Sure. Can you fight?
Yeah. Yeah.
But it's a quote because I was going to say, Elena Black, excuse me. You know how people say like, oh, when you're like dating someone super hot, you're like, can they fight? Can they fight? I got to take them out.
Absolutely. I got to protect my girl, man. That's my queen. I got to protect her.
Oh, I love Elena. She's absolutely fantastic. And now you are in the same place as her once again. You and Elena now together back in TNA. What was it like? You made your return at Rebellion. How did you feel returning?
Man, it was a lot. You know, I think, speaking of Elena, if I didn't have Elena by my side, I don't know if I would have got through that return okay. You know, it was a long road, you know, eight months. I was supposed to be out for a year. I got cleared about three to four months early. Very blessed for that. It was a lot of hard work. It probably wasn't until, like, the three-month mark where it was, like, really, really hard, because that's when I started walking again. And, like, you start to feel normal, but you also have to remember – I'm still very far away from actually coming back. Around that time is kind of where I met Elena. And she had a similar injury back when she was in NXT. So to have somebody like that have my back and to be able to like kind of counsel me through all this and have my back and just be there for me every step of the way, it's been a blessing, man.
And I'm so grateful for her. And I'm so grateful to be back. You know, the crowd was there for me. Everybody was happy I was back. I beat AJ Francis that Thursday. I'm... I'm on a high, I'm doing all right.
You finally got your revenge on AJ Francis and he had it coming, man. He had it coming.
He did, absolutely he did.
You mentioned having to go through an injury like that and making your way back and being gone for that long. One of the things that always sucks whenever anybody's out due to an injury is the mental toll of being away from pro wrestling. And this is how you make your money. So, you know, during that time away to walk us through what the rehab was like, what your psyche was like in terms of making sure that you are in the right place of mind and basically not letting it bring you down to a point where it doesn't have to bring you down to a certain level.
Sure. Like I said, support definitely plays a giant role. I was in PT three to four times a week and I was going to New York City, too. So I was staying back up in New Jersey and I would have to drive to the city three, four times a week.
How did KC Navarro feel about his return to TNA Wrestling?
At first, I had somebody bring me because I couldn't drive the first two months. So that was a bit rough. But I had a great team over at a hospital of special surgery. They work on the top of the line athletes in the country, in the world. um so they're such a great team uh they were great supporters as well during all this uh gotta shout out my mom you know if my mom wasn't there during that time you know she got me going so shout out to my mom and that uh shout out to like i said elena black uh mike santana was also somebody that really reached out to me every day um there was a video that came out during his documentary that i also posted on my own of him kind of telling me at slam because Not a lot of people know, but at Slant Anniversary, my ACL was already gone.
I did that match because I wanted to be in it. My family, my friends, my teachers were there. It was in New York. You know, I felt like I was at home. It was a home game for me. And how many people can really say they've wrestled the Hardys for tag team titles in a ladder match?
