His neck problems dated back to his amateur wrestling days when he broke his neck during Olympic Tryouts and stayed in the Olympics despite the extreme pain he was going through. Kurt's attitude to professional wrestling and his desire to perform his best each night also did not help his injury. However Kurt shocked the WWE by wanting to get back in the ring just two weeks after his neck surgery had taken place. Fortunately the WWE Officials refused to allow him until he had medical clearance.
