AEW star Anthony Ogogo is a man wrestling on borrowed time. The former Olympic boxer has not hidden the fact that he struggles with his left eye. After years of damage in the boxing ring, his career was cut short before he really got a chance in the professional ranks.
Now, sadly, it looks like his wrestling career could also be on the ropes. The news has just been confirmed that Anthony Ogogo is on the injured list after undergoing his tenth eye surgery.
However, despite the risk of the surgery, and the fact that Ogogo is already registered as blind in that eye, he refused to let that stop him. Remaining in character all the way to the operating room, he cut a promo that many wrestlers would love to give.
“Billy Gunn, you’re so lucky that I’m not in America right now. Because I would rip you limb from limb. I’d break every bone in your face and make your life not worth living.”
“You have no idea the pain I’m in right now, but you will do. I promise you, Billy Gunn, you will do. I’m going to make your life a living misery. I’m going to hurt you, Billy. There is no pain like watching your children get punished and pulverized in front of your face. You can do nothing about it. So, Billy Gunn, be lucky that I’m not there right now. Enjoy what time you have left with your boys because when I’m back soon, that time is numbered.” Anthony Ogogo declared, making it clear that he has plenty of unfinished business in AEW.
“I am Anthony Ogogo, The Guv’nor of AEW, and I am the hardest b—–d you’ll ever set eyes on.”
Heavy Surgery Won’t Slow Anthony Ogogo Down
The surgery is no simple procedure for Ogogo, and it remains to be seen if he will be cleared to wrestle again. Talking about the extent of work he needed, Ogogo explained. This is the 10th eye surgery because I’ve got so much scar tissue around my eye socket. They had to go through my nasal cavity, correct my septum, which was deviated when you smashed my face off the steel barricade. They had to fix the orbit and the medial section, and the orbital flaw, through my nose.”
Ogogo lacks experience in the wrestling ring but recently feuded with Cody Rhodes, trained at his Nightmare Factory before making his debut, and is now locked in a feud with Hall of Famer Billy Gunn.
Hopefully, it will not be too long before we see Anthony ‘the Guv’nor’ Ogogo back in an AEW ring.
