When a favorite athlete
retires there is usually a bump in their prices but what about when someone
gets hurt and can no longer perform and forced in to early retirement?
There was a time when
Tommy John surgery or microfracture surgery were career enders, but in just a
couple of years medical field has advanced to help save those athlete’s careers
but there are still some injuries you can’t come back from no matter what.
Two weeks ago at a WWE
house show Paige, real name Saraya-Jade Bevis, took a kick to the back by Sasha
Banks which dropped her to the canvas and the match was halted. Initially it
was assumed to just be a stinger, a pinched nerve and can cause various side
effects like numbness or pain down the back or arms, but because she had neck
surgery in October 2016 that required screws to be inserted in to her neck the
WWE determined that it is safest to end her career after additional medical
review.
Now in a case like Paige’s
where her wrestling career is over, is she still collectible? Do you think there will be a
rush on her limited autographs?
