During a recent interview on Ryan Satin’s “Out of Character” podcast, WWE star Joaquin Wilde talked about nearly dying after suffering a life threatening injury to in Mexico several years ago.
“It’s unbelievable. I think sometimes like, because it wasn’t just that this injury happened and it should have ended my career, it should have been in my life. I remember speaking to a gastroenterologist two months after the injury happened. When he looked at my X-rays and told him my story and whatnot, he looked at me and said, ‘I feel like I’m talking to a ghost right now. You should be dead.’ I just thought to myself, like, ‘Why was I given this second chance? Why was I spared? Why am I still able to wrestle? Why am I still alive?’, and I just always thought it’s because there must be something left for me to achieve in this business, and yeah, I guess WWE was that thing, and here we are. I’m so glad that it all worked out.”
