Dr. Chris Amann is featured in the April 2013 issue of the WWE Magazine. Amann talks about leaving his practice in 2008
to take a job with WWE.
“Quite honestly, I wasn’t looking to leave the medical practice I’d built up pretty strong back in Chicago. But I had the opportunity
to send WWE my résumé, and I did. A couple of weeks later, I went out for an
interview at a TV taping in Albany. I got a chance to see what
went on behind the scenes and speak with the staff, learn the requirements. I
was intrigued about having the chance to develop their sports-medicine program
not to mention the job sounded like a bunch of fun. So I left my practice to
join up with WWE.”
Also in the featured article, Dr. Chris Amann
also comments on his frequent visitors.
“I can’t single out one
Superstar. But, and this is sort of funny, there was a period of time when the
joke backstage was, ‘If you’re having a match with Kofi, you were going to end
up with me.’ So I was seeing his opponents one after the other at one point! Then
there are Superstars such as John Cena, who barely frequent the training room.
But when a medical issue does come up, he’s good about letting us know."
