Toyko, Japan --- GZW2K1Fanz.com has learned that Sean Locke has undergone emergency surgery for an incarcerated hernia. His recovery time will be evaluated by the local surgeon and GZW2K1 physician Dr. Chris Amann.
Dr. Amann explained that Locke was already competing with a hernia, but it has worsened to the point that Locke could no longer wrestle without surgery.
"This wasn't related to a specific injury that occurred in the ring at Honor Earned. Locke has had a pr-existing hernia for some time, which unfortunately had become acutely painful, which led to him going to the emergency room in Tokyo following the Special Broadcast Event. He was found to have a large hernia that was unable to be reduced, which means pushed back into the abdominal cavity. As a result, it was necessary to perform an emergency operation to open up the hernia sac and try and push it back into the abdominal cavity."
The doctor also said that Locke will likely be out for at least six to eight weeks, meaning he will most likely be forced to vacate the GZW2K1 World Heavyweight Championship.
"Most of the time, the recovery time for something like this in terms of returning to physical activity is between six to eight weeks. This was a pretty significant hernia, so it will probably be closer to eight weeks."
