As much as the former Honor Champion Chris Gardner may have a history of sustaining concussions and broken bones on his short career in New Championship Wrestling, having summed up three of them in a nine-month span, the Kendou stick shot that the Professor took to his knee when attacked by Todd Williams' acquaintance in Sarah Richardson was nothing serious.
"I thought that my knee was in a bad condition when I felt I had to tap out to Jason Evans before Nothing to Lose," said Christian, after leaving the NY Downtown Hospital in South Manhattan. "But ends up it got sprained when Evans locked the Sexy Clutch. I kind of let it get to me and gave [Todd] Williams a fake signal of a possible weakness, and Sarah attacked me."
Chris makes an obvious reference to the moment in his match against that very Todd Williams, during Nothing to Lose, where, in the imminence of connecting his trademark maneuvre, the G-Effect, Chris wasattacked by Sarah Richardson with a Kendou stick to the allegedly bad left knee, immediately crumpling to the ground.
"I fell from the turnbuckle because I got hit hard and it stinged quite a lot," said Gardner. "But at the end of the day it was just a mild scare." Questioned about having a fragile body to be a wrestler, Chris laughs: "It's not about being fragile, but about giving it a lot of myself to make things happen. It's impossible to leave a match in one piece when you get slammed into a car hood or into the steel steps repeated times," mentioning his matches against Lex Sense (February, for the Honor Championship) and Brad Kane (Sovereign, Street Fight that ended in a parking lot).
