Matt Cardona: I'm Working With A New Doctor, Dr. Matt Cardona; He Cleared Me For NWA 74

Matt Cardona has become his own doctor.

When Matt Cardona went out of action with a torn bicep earlier this summer, the expectation was that the former GCW World Champion would miss 4-6 months of action. However, Cardona is seemingly set to beat the odds yet again by returning to action at the upcoming NWA 74 pay-per-view.

In a new interview with Comicbook, Cardona revealed that he's got a new doctor and he is giving a middle finger to his surgeon's suggested recovery time.

"I've been working with a new doctor, Dr. Matt Cardona, and he's going to clear me to compete for NWA 74. Listen, when I got the surgery, it sucked. There's no good time in this business to get injured. But if there was ever a bad time, this was a bad time. I had seven titles. I was killing it, but it was a bump in the road. And I told myself, 'I want to be back in three months, and that's what I'm going to do.' Right under three months for NWA 74. The surgeon said, 'Five to six months.' He still wants me in an arm brace. I'm Matt Cardona, okay? I'm already back in the gym. I'm training. I'm ready to go."

Cardona predicted his early return in an interview back in June.
