    Sad news. The woman is the full package. Solid worker, original look, good promo, could play heel or face at the drop of a hat. She was young and had already made a major impact in WWE. She had a great chance at going down as the top WWE female wrestler of all time.


    Very sad. However, with her presence, promo ability, popularity with young fans and old alike, not to mention star power, I hope they find other things for her. She can be a great stable leader, evil GM type. Not to mention she could train up women in NXT.

    Perhaps she finds a whole new career though. At her young age she shouldn't feel like her life is over. She can go and do anything she wants now. Plenty of time for her to get good at it.

    Honestly, I'd put this up there in the most disappointing injury/retirements in wrestling history. Fuck.

    Very sad news if WWE think Paige shouldn't compete. I'd hope she would heed their advice. With her family background in the business and having come through NXT ranks herself, I could see her being a strong contender for a coaching role if she wanted one.

    Something I saw on Twitter, a comparison between the WWE and New Japan schedules and how they use guys. Singles matches in 2017:

    Okada: 18
    Naito: 18
    Omega: 21

    Samoa Joe: 49 (missed part of the year with an injury)
    Nakamura: 83 (only called up after Wrestlemania)
    Reigns: 101

    New Japan does fewer shows and also mostly books tag matches on house shows. If I were WWE I think I'd be doing a lot more tag matches on my house shows, not necessary to make guys work so many singles matches every year.

    Sad news with Paige, but not bad. The article alluded to Edge, and is if it the same type of thing it could have left her permanently paralysed or even dead from a bad bump.

    The ring style is too high volume to work nowadays if they want them to work 4-5 nights a week. Flair could do it because it was 10 minutes of mat work, a bit of stooging, 20 minutes of heel control and hope segments, then the comeback where he'd take a couple of bumps (turnbuckle spot, press slam usually), then they'd go through the finish. Nowadays guys are doing superplexes, planchas, apron bumps etc every match. It's not enconomical. Either move to tag/6-mans or just work smarter on house shows.

    Sheamus has the same issue. He is one bad bump away from being retired. :sad:

    Front page is saying Jordan is dealing with a neck injury. He's having trouble with his grip so it could be a serious problem. He was supposed to be in the Elimination Chamber, but this prevented that from happening.

    Rollins is also working with a bad back.

    That's horrible news. Hope it's nothing too serious, as he's been my secret favorite youngster to hop on the scene. Dude has been playing his role perfectly.

    Rollins said his injury is fake news. Here's hoping because WWE are taking a hit right now it seems.

    Yeah I'm disappointed if this is any longterm injury/off-TV stuff for him. He's developed nicely in this role that he's in.

    Someone thinks it's all a work. We don't even know what AJ's injury is yet.

    http://www.givemesport.com/1276910-t...wwe-live-event

    Basically, KO and Zayn jumped AJ before the Tag Match and the ref threw up the "X" sign. AJ came back later to help Nak and was limping.



    There are conflicting reports from Fans whether AJ limped to the back or not after making the save. It could have just been an angle since it was at MSG.

    Edit: I saw a post on WhatCulture that AJ is going to be evaluated by Doctors at RAW tonight.

    Shane to undergo surgery for Diverticulitis.

    "Shane McMahon is currently recovering from acute diverticulitis and an umbilical hernia in a New York-area medical facility, WWE.com has learned.

    Two weeks ago on SmackDown LIVE, McMahon announced he would be taking an indefinite leave of absence from his position as the blue brand's Commissioner. Following that announcement, McMahon was brutally attacked by Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. WWE medical staff initially diagnosed him with a laryngeal contusion and trapezius and rhomboid strains as a result of the beating.

    Following the vicious assault, McMahon went to the Caribbean with his family to rest and recuperate. While there, Shane developed a massive infection due to acute diverticulitis and was hospitalized for several days in Antigua before being flown back to a New York-area hospital, where he is currently being treated with heavy doses of antibiotics. The doctors in New York have also discovered that Shane suffered an umbilical hernia during the attack, which will require surgery once the infection has been eradicated.

    Stick with WWE.com for further updates on Shane McMahon's status as they become available."

    If Shane and AJ end up out do you think they will just do Bryan and Nakamura v Owens and Zayne?

    Itd be easy enough to do as kayfabe Owens and Zayne just killed Nakamuras title shot and Mania 'main event' plus with Bryans return its a hot enough match to slidehim into as a b plan.

    Be a shame if so though, AJ v Nakamura was the match Im most looking forward to seeing.

    I would REALLY enjoy a Bryan, Owens, Zayn triple threat. I give not a single fuck that there is already a triple threat on the card.

    Vacate the title at the top of the show, make Bryan vs Owens vs Zayn for the opportunity to face Nakamura for the belt later in the night, and give us DB vs Shinsuke if we can't have Styles.

    Then you paint yourself into a corner where DB has to become champ or the crowd goes crazy.

    Can’t see Vince wanting to give the belt to DB this early in his return, or risk killing Mania

    Just have it look like DB's going to win, then Zowens costs him the match without Nakamura seeing it happen. Parlay that into some tag matches between the four and give Owens or Zayn a title feud with Naka and the other go against Bryan.

    Or just have one of them win the triple threat and then try to cheat their way past Nakamura but Bryan stops it, leading into the same outcome. The end game being a match or series between Shinsuke and DB. But that's basically a worst case scenario if things go as bad as they look for AJ. I just don't see Naka not getting his title shot and there aren't too many matches that are gonna be as good as him versus Styles.

    This weekend, AJ Styles competed in an 8 man tag with New Day at a house show in Jersey...
    He's taking it easy right now, but unless he gets injured further, I doubt he'll miss mania...




    Probably AJ/Nakamura and Bryan/Owens...

    First off AJ Styles is not missing Mania so let's just stop that talk.

    As for the other match, I think Owens/Zayn/Bryan triple threat makes the most sense. But there are already two other triple threats on the card, and I don't know how you make that a believable match since it would just be a 2 on 1 mugging.

    Who else could Bryan get for his tag partner? Jericho because of his history with Owens? But rumor is Jericho has a music gig that day and can't be there.

    Sounds like we shouldn't panic too mauch about Charlotte...
    F4Wonline.com reports that Flair underwent minor dental surgery for a mouth infection last Wednesday and that is why she is currently unable to compete.

    Appears, according to him, Zack Ryder suffered a knee injury during his Main Event taping match last night. Won't be able to travel for the GRR. Seems like he has hit the injury bug as of late.

    As harsh as this may be, you're right. He's been around for years, had a brief run of popularity with his Youtube show, but he's not skilled enough to be worth keeping around. He's a one-note comedy act and again, not skilled enough to be given a push being more "serious".

    I think Ryder is more of a lifer. When his in ring tme is done he'll probably be an agent or a trainer down in NXT.

    It is pretty crazy he's still around. He's moved into that lower card babyface role over the last few years like a Hardcore Holly or maybe Tito Santana once occupied where they'll get a big pop for something every now and then but don't really do much else. He's been around since before Ric Flair retired and yet he's still younger than the likes of Owens, Zayn, Balor, Strowman, Corbin, Killian Dain, etc. who have only come along in the last couple of years.

    Reports are that Big Cass may have fucked his knee again at a house show in Amsterdam during a tag match with Miz vs Bryan/Tye.
    There is twitter footage of him hobbling around on it and looking visibly pissed off, then getting walked out by the ref after.

    Strange, the WCPW crew reported the exact same scenario from the Newcastle event yesterday.

    Main page is saying the qualifying match between Joe and Cass has been cancelled due to Cass's injury. If it's a work, they're really going all in.

    PWInsider is reporting Zayn is the place you don't want to be as an athlete and seeing the person you don't want to see: Alabama and James Andrews. He's apparently been dealing with an injury, which makes sense when looking at the lack of physicality he's taken part of the last month or so.

    Felt like MITB was the blow off to the feud. Considering it had only just gotten started, something had to be going on.

    According to his interview on WWE.COM, Sami Zayn has not one but TWO torn rotator cuffs and is going to be having surgery on both. He will probably be out around 8 months.

    Very much doubt it if he has two torn rotator cuffs. One on its own takes ages to heal never mind two. Hell Mania is questionable.

    Right up until the crappy Lashley feud, he was really picking up steam with his heel character.

    He's got to be one of if not the most unluckiest stars on the roster. Either pish booking or injuries.

    He said he would be back by mania.

    I see no real reason he can't be at KO's side during this. Let him get clearence to work a light schedule and he can do monday night's back up his bff.

    Heel Zayn was a good character even though the feud with Lashley as shitty. Hope he heals well. Dude still has a lot of untapped potential.

    They could go either way with him. virm'sidea of keeping him to cheer on KO is good, but a long absence away could make for a great face run too as he was really good at that as well. He could sell a beating like few can.

    This injury as much as it sucks could turn into one of those "blessing in disguise" situations.

    Torn rotator cuffs are tough injuries, one cannot even lift their arm for weeks and weeks after the surgery. Then you begin to slowly walk your fingers up the wall - very very slowly, one inch at a time....
    The rehab sucks so bad that one wonders if living with it torn would've been the better option. I cannot imagine having two done at once.

    It will be quite a while before we see Sami again.

    And no, he isn't going to be used while he is injured.

    As Jim Cornette loves to say, "How can you miss me if I don't go away"

    The last thing WWE needs is an annoying heel sidekick who cannot raise his arms past his shoulders for (literally) four to six months and most certainly cannot be touched physically or even take a soft bump. Past history shows WWE will never do this with an injured star....

    Idk about annoying heel sidekick but WWE did feature Austin on shows in '97 despite his injury.

    1. 20 years ago when they did not have liability issues like today.
    2. You're talking huge breakout superstar versus jobber to the stars.....

    very talented and entertaining jobber to the stars. But that's really all Sami is or will ever be. Turning him heel simply breathed new life into him and made him much more entertaining but has hardly moved him up the pecking order and/or resulted in more wins.

    If they wanted sami they could use him.

    A doctors note clearing him for light duty/non physical interaction would clear wwe of any issues.

    Besides, they are the ones paying for surgery, rehab, etc. Then you have the whole independent contractor crap.

    Last, if sami was pitched the idea and wanted to do it i am sure it would come with a contract that would protect wwe from anything.

    Will it happen? No. There is no need for it but lets be honest. Some of the ideas presented in here would be definite entertainment value. I get you though the stone cold thing was completely different and would have really messed up wwe's momentum back in the day.

    Which fucking blows. They've been giving her the ball and letting her run with it lately and she's been spiking that motherfucker in the end zone every damn time.

    I feel like she's poised to become a major player in the WWE so it just plain sucks that she may be injured.

    I feel like she's poised to become a major player in the WWE so it just plain sucks that she may be injured.
    Yeah, I was just really getting into her. She was definitely one of the ones where you could see her legit improve from week to week.

    Fuckballs. I love Ruby and was happy to see her gaining steam as of late. Hopefully it's not too bad and she won't be out long.

    Sounds like it's an MCL sprain. No surgery.

    Good news there. Will give her enough time away to heal up, reboot, and come back better than before while also staying fresh in minds.

    Heard that Fandango is out for 6 months with a bad shoulder / surgery. Sucks for him, and probably for Tyler Breeze. Since their backstage stuff has been more entertaining than their matches, I wonder if they find a way to keep them onscreen while he recovers.

    Have they really even been on-screen since they came to RAW? I remember they beat The Bar their first night and maybe jobbed a couple times to Hardy/Wyatt but otherwise, I don't even think they've be on TV much...

    Could be a welcoming for Tyler Breeze, who I think has a lot more potential than being a jobber in a jobber tag team.

    They lost to the B-Team who were just starting out under that gimmick, but other than that no they've not been used much.

    Breeze will probably get fed to Mojo Rawley for a few months

    Was just going to say how is this possible with Rawley on Smackdown, and then I remembered that Mojo switched brands. Demonstrates how memorable he is...

    I think Mojo has been doing well in his new heel role. Looking forward to see what he can do after this No Way Jose feud.

    Multiple reports surfacing that part of the reasoning for the angle with Lashley and Owens Monday was in part to write KO off TV for a while so he can have a procedure done on his knee. No timetable is set, but the hope is he isn't out too terribly long.

    There was a time when someone like Mojo would actually have had a storyline to fill out the bottom of the card. The roster's so stacked, there really isn't a bottom anymore.

    Apparently KO might be out up to 8 months... putting him in line for a return right around the same time as Sami. At least they can return together then.

    KO should come back as the KO that first debuted. A guy that can back up his trash talking and actually beat John Cena... not a guy that loses to Braun Strowman in an eye blink.

    Owens has been a babyface that's supposed to be a heel for so long that they should've just run him as a face.
