Impact Wrestling star DJ Z (Michael Paris) suffered a serious injury during a match at The CRASH live event in Mexico City, Mexico this past Wednesday.
Paris suffered the injury after taking a 450 Splash towards the end of the match he was involved in. According to a Facebook post by independent wrestler Gringo Loko, who was also on the show, Paris suffered internal injuries from the move, including heavy internal bleeding and a ruptured colon.
Paris underwent surgery on Thursday and posted the following message Thursday night, thanking fans and peers for their support, as well as detailing what happened and where he goes from here:
Thanks to all who reached out and sent prayers. Long story short, i had to get a pretty major surgery but it went well and ill be okay.
