Dude was never the same though.

It comes down to self preservation. Had Vitali continued he may have not had a career.Pascal had shoulder problems early in his career and carried on and that has cut his career off in many ways over the past 5 years. He cant pick up a glass of water w/o a shoulder dislocating.
