Ken Patera Suffers Broken Neck
Ken Patera suffered a fall at the gym.
The news was passed along by Steve Stasiak of Book Pro Wrestlers that 20-year wrestler Ken Patera suffered a fall at the gym that resulted in him breaking his neck.
Below is the write-up:
“We’re sending our thoughts and prayers to wrestling legend Ken Patera.
Ken recently suffered a fall at the gym that resulted in a broken C1.
The news is especially difficult because Ken had fought so hard to get back on his feet after major back surgery about two and a half years ago. Friends say he had made remarkable progress, returned to the gym, and lost a significant amount of weight as he worked to improve his health.
Anyone who has followed Ken Patera’s life knows determination has always been one of his defining traits. It’s what made him one of the toughest competitors of his generation, and it’s the same strength we hope carries him through this latest challenge.
Everyone at Book Pro Wrestlers is keeping Ken in our thoughts. Please join us in wishing him strength, healing, and a full recovery
