Former TNA wrestler Amazing Red posted some incredibly gnarly post-operation pictures today … and confirmed that his dreams for a WWE Cruiserweight Classic match have been dashed.

According to PWInsider ... Red was scheduled to participate in the upcoming tournament, but had to withdraw due to a broken right ankle. Now he's opened up about what happened on Facebook.

Amazing Red explains, “I got surgery done 3 times in one month … 1st one was done incorrectly, 2nd was to relieve pressure and stop infection, 3rd fixed it.”

The wrestler adds, “Everyone who knows me knows that I wanted this more than anything, especially in WWE and especially now. I know that things happen for a reason and I trust God and what he has in store for me. I'm not quitting, ima stay being the hardest worker ever, I won't stop."

No word on when Red is expected to return to the ring, but we wish him a speedy recovery!
