Kevin Nash himself confirmed that he went to the hospital this week and had surgery for an infection in his elbow. You can read his blog on his current health here.

As for his scheduled appearances at local shows in Manville and Brick on the 30th and 31st of this month, the promoter told me Wednesday that Nash is expected to heal by then and is a better than average shot to perform in those shows as scheduled.

The promoter told me that, if Kevin is not healthy by then, the show would book "another A list name" to replace Big Sexy.

More on this as the shows get a little closer.
