Former WWE star Kelly Kelly appeared on Byron Scott’s Fastbreak to discuss several topics, including what it was like taking a kendo stick strike to the head from The Sandman.
Kelly said, “It was so bad. We rehearsed it with Sandman. He’s like, ‘Oh Kelly, it’s going to be so easy,’ and he does this little poke (with the cane). ‘Oh, okay.’ I saw him swing that thing back and I was like, ‘Oh my God.’ Seeing it happen…I remember hitting the ground, seeing stars. ‘What just happened?’ We go to the back and they have me on a gurney. I open my eyes and Vince is standing over me. ‘Kelly, you okay?’ All the guys, the ones who were brother or father figures, who were guiding me along, they were like, ‘When you get hit with that cane and come to the back, do not let them see you cry. Do not cry.’ That’s in the back of my head. Vince is like, ‘Are you okay?’ ‘I’m fine. Yup.’ Everyone is standing there. It’s a line of people waiting to see what I’m going to do. I get off the gurney and everyone is like, ‘Are you okay?’ ‘Yeah, I’m great.’ I get to the locker room and I’m bawling, calling my parents, ‘I don’t know how to do this.’ Next week, I was out there doing it again.”
