The injury occurred during a Battle Royal.
Over the past month, Kevin Fertig a.k.a. Kevin Thorn has competed in several matches and his latest was on 1/15 at Ohio Valley Wrestling’s Nightmare Rumble special. Fertig was one of the final three participants in the match and during that stretch, he suffered a bicep tear.
He noted on Facebook that his bicep tore off the bone and he’ll be undergoing surgery on either Tuesday or Wednesday. Fertig’s birthday is on 1/17. He thanked the OVW talent and staff for checking on him.
