I got the February issue of WWE Magazine today, and WWE has run an article the last few issues on "The scars of the Superstars", where there would be a photograph of a Superstar who has a scar somewhere on their body, and then an little story of the Superstar telling how they got the scar.
In High School Zack Ryder had cancer and the scar on the right side of his chest is where the doctors had to insert ports directly into him so they could pump medicine directly into his lungs, where the cancer was. He said he had no white blood cells at one point and missed an entire year of school.
This is something I never knew. He said he doesn't like to talk about it because he doesn't want people to feel sorry for him or turn it into a sympathy issue.
Either way, it's a pretty amazing thing to overcome cancer at any age, and to still go on to realize his dream of being a WWE Superstar and to at one point last November and December to be featured in more prominent story lines than the WWE Champion....it's a feel good story.
Hopefully his cancer never returns.

what are some of the other storys? In the December issue where the article debuted, they had a bunch of them. Wade Barrett has a massive scar under his right arm that goes down from his arm pit half way down his side from what he alluded to but never flat out admitted was from participating in a sort of "Fight Club" and he was attacked and presumably stabbed after winning a fight and the losers didn't take too kindly to losing their money. William Regal said he has a scar on his right ear from a match with Dean Ambrose in FCW and that the scar on his lip is from being punched by Boogeyman. Sin Cara has a scar on his left collarbone from surgery after breaking it in Mexico. Kofi Kingston has a scar on the back of his right leg from a BMX bike crash. Jimmy Uso has a scar on the left side of his neck from being smashed with a bottle by a drunk person who he was trying to stop from harassing a girl at a club. Said he was an inch away from being killed, his doctors told him. Jey Uso has a scar on his right shoulder from surgery from a football injury. Johnny Curtis has a scar on his right bicep from a ladder match in FCW against Hunico and Epico. Beth Phoenix has a scar on her left knee from the surgery after blowing out her ACL while Women's Champion. Curt Hawkins has a scar on his right elbow from football injury. Derrick Bateman has a huge scar on his midsection from surgery when he was 3 years old. He had a bleeding ulcer. When he was 6 they had to go back in and correct something. I can't find my January issue right now, so I don't recall if there was any stories about scars in that issue. *edit* I found it. It was Cody Rhodes who has a scar on his forehead from being elbowed by Daivari at his first ever match at a WWE Live Event. He had busted an artery and his first ever match needed to be stopped by the ref and he needed to get a special type of stitches called "cable stitches". He said a week later he took the bandage off in Applebee's and his stitches popped and he was gushing blood in the restaurant. lol |

I've known about that scar for the longest time, but I never had any idea about how it got there. Crazy stuff. Glad he's okay. Thanks for sharing.

That sure sounds like an interesting read, I wouldn't have known about this since I haven't read any WWE issued magazines in a while. Glad he fully recovered and is living a happy/healthy life.

On an episode of Confidential in 2003 or 2004, Rikishi said he was involved in a drive by shooting and has a scar on his stomach. He said the doctors told him he passed away for 10 minutes.
