Brian Myers feared that he and Matt Cardona might have suffered the same injury in the same week
Brian Myers is currently one-half of the TNA World Tag Team Champions but for a moment at TNA Rebellion during the match where he and Eddie Edwards defended the Championships against Mike Bailey and Trent Seven, he was afraid he suffered a torn pectoral muscle.
During an interview he and Edwards had with Bill Pritchard of WrestleZone, Myers explained his thought process as he feared that he had suffered a torn pectoral which has turned out to just be a strain.
“Right. So, in the moment, I did a very dangerous spear on the floor with ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey. Literally, time stood still for me as I was live on pay-per-view. And I thought, ‘Did me and Matt Cardona get the same exact injury in the same week?’ I was speechless, because I thought I tore my pec,” Myers said. “The trainer checked me out, he said he didn’t think there was a tear but definitely some strength issues. He basically said if I woke up bruised, we’d be in trouble, and I woke up not bruised. So it’s just like a real bad pec strain, is what I would say. I don’t have my full strength, but I can certainly make Under Siege and be part of the main event.”
Myers also says there was never any discussion about potentially having The System utilize the Freebird rule in order to remain Tag Team Champions.
“No. [there was no discussion about that]. I’m fine,” Brian Myers stated. “It’s been two weeks and I’ve been getting better every day. So I’m not even really concerned about it. Especially, I have two of the best wrestlers in the world as my partners. What do I got to be worried about?"
Myers and Edwards will team with Moose at TNA Under Siege against Matt Hardy, Mike Bailey and Trent Seven.
