Don Frye more or less breaks down all the injuries he’s sustained.
Big in Japan from MMA and hard style pro wrestling with the NJPW in Japan.
Injuries discussed just get worse and worse, he also describes what he saw in his near death experience.
Long live the Predator!
One of the toughest SOBs to ever live. Long live the fighters!!!
Guys like Frye spoiled us. They make the current generation look like pussies.
I feel like a guy arguing that the NBA was best in the 80’s.
But they’re right too.
Woah there partner, I agree with everything you said except the 80s bit, I feel manly sports peaked in the 90s then the pussies took our fun away slowly
Basketball, football , shit even baseball maybe
I know in Australia, rugby an Aussie football and cricket was tough as fuck in the 90s/80s
Speaking of Backs
Somehow the the boys here will turn this into an MJ vs LBJ thread now. Thanks bro.
it was showtime
wait long enough and jews and blacks will get blamed here as well
I was literally going to post, and then somehow the Jews will be brought into it. But I thought I could go a day without bringing them up…
There was a thread about cupcakes and before it got to 5 replies, a couple jackasses turned it into politics
But back to Don Frye!
His fight with Tank Abbott was great
Dennis Rodma ,Rasheed Wallace and Ron Artest are my favorite players.
Artest is a lot smarter than you would think. He’s a lot like Tyson in that he’s not educated but he’s pretty damn intelligent.
Bro likes to embellish
He could Ball with Reggie Miller
Frye said that Tank hit him harder than anyone else to that point, or possibly ever. It looked like Frye might have gotten knocked out if it stayed off the mat for another 20 seconds.
So Frye said Prime Tank hit hard?
I was aways wondering about this…Thanks for clearing it up Don!
Knicks passed on him because of his off court drama. He would have been a force on that 90s team!
During a catastrophic hospital stay around 2016, Frye’s body gave out due to severe complications. He was placed in a medically induced ICU coma for several weeks. While unconscious, he flatlined and legally died three separate times.
In classic, darkly humorous Don Frye fashion, he describes his near-death experience as traveling to the “Gates of Hades” across the River Styx. He joked that he was rejected at the gates because “heaven didn’t want me, hell was afraid I’d take over,” or they were simply too full at the time.
Frye’s career in wrestling, firefighting, the UFC, and PRIDE completely shattered his musculoskeletal system. The most agonizing period involved walking around for nearly two years with broken titanium rods in his back. The snapped rods were actively stabbing his internal tissue, requiring a grueling 11-hour surgery to replace them and a separate 3-hour procedure just to scrape away extensive internal scar tissue.
Following his back surgeries, he suffered a brain hemorrhage, developed severe pneumonia, and contracted a dangerous spinal infection. Between continuous spinal fusions, joint repairs, and emergency interventions, Frye has accumulated over 20 surgeries throughout his life.
At his lowest point, the damage left him reliant on a walker and a wheelchair. However, after undergoing advanced stem cell therapy via BioXcellerator, a treatment recommended to him by fellow legend Ken Shamrock, Frye made a miraculous recovery, regaining his ability to walk, lift, and coach again without chronic pain.
My buddy Joey runs that program and hosts all the guys in Columbia. Place is dope.
