WWE Injury / Possible-Injury Thread

[VHS]

So I guess people are worried that Seth Rollins may have hurt his knee last night. I watched it again and nothing about it really screams legit injury. He comes off the top rope, misses the knee, and lands perfectly before selling the knee. I think maybe we're witnessing normal, every day selling. I hope I'm right.

edit:
Credit goes to Hero!, the guy that thinks Nattie is terrible.

Regarding Seth Rollins' injury scare, looks like we can breathe a sigh of relief if the main page has anything to say about that:

http://rajah.com/node/42128

I just thought that because you had trainers coming to his aid quickly and the ref giving the X-sign, it didn't look good from my perspective.

[VHS]

Yeah, I'm relieved to start hearing more info regarding Seth... but I'd stay off the main page, MG. I do.

It says Dean also cut his mouth, when in fact it was his chin... perhaps the same chin cut he suffered from back in June? It's had a tendency to open up here and there.

[Hero!]

As we've seen when he's talking, that cut never fully healed, as it's always there and non-scarred over.

I like the idea of having a thread to keep up with who's injured. Wanna add this list to the first post, Vitchies?

[Sasori]

With Neville's recent injury and Bray's back issues, I thought I would give this thread a bump so we can consolidate the discussions moving forward.

[Rancid_Planet]

I worry for Bray. Men of his....carriage, tend to develop chronic back problems when they're older but Bray is still young. If he starts having back issues now he could likely wind up one of those wrestlers constantly sidelined.

[PurePlayer]

A good thing about his character means he doesn't have to wrestle all the time. If he needs a couple months here and there he can still be out there but have the family do his work and he can still cut promos. Then when he does wrestle it could actually be a big deal.

This, a thousand times. Bray should be sitting on that rocking chair 80% of the time, using his flock to do his foot work. But any time he stands up... any time he takes his hat off... any time he chooses to take care of something personally... shit is about to go down.

[Merchant4Ever]

Yep, and he should be protected by winning big matches. Keep his mystique (what's left of it). Let his minions screw up, but when Bray gets involved, the Family should see results.

I like where this is going.

As far as his health, someone needs to get him over to DDP Yoga. Page saved AJ's back, maybe he can do something for Bray.

[VHS]

Now Luke Harper. Looks like a cramp, but it could very well be his knee just giving out. Still... hope he's ok.

[Sasori]

Harper seems like a guy who can take allot of punishment. Ryback's poorly executed finisher a few weeks back didn't even hurt him. Hopefully it's nothing serious and he only needs to take a little time off.

[Donald Pleasence]

Look Who's Talking Too Cool Hand Luke Harper Lee Harvey Oswald

[Rancid_Planet]

Noice.

[Badger]

If it's a torn ACL like they think it is, he's fucked.

[VHS]

Shoot, shoot, shoot.

[Rancid_Planet]

Fuck fuck fuck.

[Rancid_Planet]

http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/...ally-believed/


So Luke Harper is supposedly out 5 or 6 months.

[VHS]

[Sasori]

The only bright side is that guys who were injured last year are going to start filtering back in after WrestleMania. We'll likely get a few NXT call ups as well. The Wyatts are going to suffer even more without their Workhorse (Is that one of the Four Horseman?). With Bray's back fucked to an unknown extant, Rowan and Braun have to hold the fort down Time for a new member?

[Randolph]

[Damien]

I'm actually looking forward to Randy Orton returning.. hopefully he comes back looking like this..


He seemed a lot more psychotic with no hair at all.
Also hoping for a "shades of grey" Randy, not a heel, not a face, just fucking people up.

[mth]

Shave his eyebrows, too. Go full Snitsky...

[Jordo]

Miz may have hurt himself at a live event. Was limping bad and had to be helped to the back

[Badger]

Christ.

[Jordo]

Now Luke Harper. Looks like a cramp, but it could very well be his knee just giving out. Still... hope he's ok.

Watching that knowing it's an acl is fucking painful. Every acl injury gives me flashbacks and gives me the creeps. It's also such a fluke injury. Harper was doing nothing crazy there and boom 6 months done. Possibly a year before he feels good with it, maybe never completely.

The doctor that figures out a Tommy John surgery for the knee is gonna be a very rich man

[VHS]

Yeah, I've witnessed 4 ACL tears in my life and it's hard watching that thinking it's an ACL injury. Had a teammates say it's like somebody drilling into your knee continuously.

[Jordo]

The actual tear for me wasn't the bad part. I actually think there aren't any nerves in the ligament. It was my knee giving and feeling everything move like it's not supposed to. Then trying to get up and it giving out again. After the injury but before the surgery it got to a point that I could walk on it without pain but I had to be super careful, I was supposed to use crutches all the time but I'd occasionally walk slow across the house or whatever. If I tried to lock my knee and put weight on it it felt like it was going to bend backwards. It's fucking terrible. For me that fear of it blowing never went away. I actually ended up tearing it again and never getting it fixed/playing my sr season of football on it. It's still fucked and I still baby it.

The loose feeling and the feeling that it's going to blow was the worst part for me. I'm getting anxiety just typing about it.

Rehab wasn't extremely painful for me but I did hamstring instead of patella tendon. Patella is stronger but it's a more painful rehab.

I was also 17 and didn't rehab like I needed to.

[VHS]

Dang, 17? How'd you tear it, Jordo?

[Judas Iscariot]

Miz apparently fucked up his leg at a live event.

[Kdestiny]

Miz may have hurt himself at a live event. Was limping bad and had to be helped to the back

Indeed he was.

[Judas Iscariot]

Maybe I should read before I post things.

[Kdestiny]

I wonder if they would find someone to fill in the ladder match

[Fanny]

if they're having Ryder in it they might as well give a slot to Lawler

[Karate Piper]

I heard ZZ debuted, throw him in there

Owens is behind it. He's making the match people want to see.

[Kdestiny]

Put Josh in there, I'm sure the vets would love that

[Hero!]

They should just ask rvd to do it honestly

[Hero!]

Just saw Miz denying any injury on Twitter. Said he was just acting. we'll see.

[mth]

Put Mark Henry in there.

[Chris Scott]

Put ....... ........ In there

[Jordo]

Dang, 17? How'd you tear it, Jordo?

High school football like a good small town stud.

Playing defense came up into a hole to make a tackle. Planted on my left leg to cut right and a guy hit me on my right as I planted. Left knee gave out and boom

Was never the same.

And I still wear my letter jacket

That's a good sign, if he was really injured he would've said so.

Then Matt Saracen stole his girlfriend

[Sasori]

I didn't realize Del Rio was still dealing with back issues. He's been pulled from House Shows for the second weekend in a row and has only wrestled 3 matches since late Feb. I guess he's not getting tagged in much at WrestleMania.

[Hero!]

He should probably do DDP yoga

[JRSlim21]

Screw it. Hold Cena off and have him lead a 2 man led stable between him & Orton. Slowly re-introduce a new member with a recovering injured player. Cena and Orton can cause the group to blow up after they go for the title, or have 1 of them be champ with the other as backup. Kidd and Cesaro can take the tag belts. Neville the IC title. Harper the US title.
Just shut up and take my money.

/halfserious

[Sasori]

Sasha may have suffered an injury at WrestleMania. She was at the Hospital on Tues. and missed Smackdown. No details yet.

[Rancid_Planet]

She seemed fine on Raw.

[mth]

Bray Wyatt's officially got a calf injury, goddammit:
http://www.wwe.com/article/bray-wyat...d?sf24323956=1

[Tainted Eclipse]

ugh, that really sucks. the first time in 2 years he's been interesting. hope he's not gone long.

[Atty]

Fucksake. It sucks that they lost their most over face.

[Rancid_Planet]

Fuck me. I guess just because mania has come and gone doesn't mean the injury bug is going anywhere.

[Beer-Belly]

ugh, that really sucks. the first time in 2 years he's been interesting. hope he's not gone long.

They should have turned him face years ago.

Was there even an explanation as to why he turned face, or are we just supposed to believe that The Rock People's Elbowed the heel out of him at WrestleMania?

Anyway, I hope the injury is something minor because he was kicking ass in that tag match on Monday.

[Honey_Badger]

This blows. Wyatt is one of the more unique characters and in-ring performers in WWE. His character received a massive reboot on Monday and as many have pointed out, it all felt very fresh and exciting. I hope this is minor and he returns soon; possibly the night after Payback.

Yeah, I assume the Rock "pep talk" and following beatdown from him and Cena were supposed to have knocked some sense into him? Don't really need an explanation for a guy like him anyway as the Wyatts always walked the line, really, and with their ambiguous motivations are the type where turning on a dime for no clear reason fits their characters.

[Karate Piper]

Well, he can go back to watching matches from his rocking chair

[Hero!]

Well, he can go back to watching matches from his rocking chair

please this.

Or just leave the family off tv and have the BC join Reigns.

[OD50]

Sounds to me like Wyatt suffered a calf tear/partial calf tear. I got the same injury in 2013 and it's not fun. depending on the severity of the tear it can take a long ass time to be 100%. From a couple of months to 2 years I believe. If it's a full tear you usually need surgery, mine was roughly 50% torn according to the physio therapist and I was fairly pain free after roughly a year iirc. first couple of weeks were a bitch though, fuck did that hurt.

[Nash Diesel]

It's sad that a guy like Wyatt seems to be very very injury prone. I saw the footage, they fucking lock up and boom, down with an injury. Dude can't even walk without getting hurt. It blows because not only is Bray going to be out for awhile, so is Harper. And sure you could maybe start pushing Rowan and Braun as a tag-team with Bray as their manager-if he can even make those appearances, but it's just not the same. It'll turn into some Kevin Sullivan shit coming down to the ring with the Faces of Fear. Woo Hoo said nobody.

[OD50]

In Sweden the injury is somewhat mockingly called "gubbvad" among physical therapists, which basically means old mans calf. Reason is that it is most common among males getting up there in age and not really knowing their own limitations (such as myself). Dudes that sit in the office during weekdays and then go full blast playing tennis, soccer and shit during the weekends.

[Sasori]

Bray Wyatt's officially got a calf injury, goddammit:
http://www.wwe.com/article/bray-wyat...d?sf24323956=1

[Rancid_Planet]

I really hope it's nothing so serious as to keep him out of action for a long time. Because fuck they finally hit on something good by turning him face. WWE is finally in a good place with their programming and shit like this can really derail things.

But, worse case scenario, another 15 minutes of TV time just opened up. Somebody step up.

[Slutty McWhoreface]

If this turns out to be an injury that will cost Bray a significant amount of time, it could end up being a blessing in disguise; he can come back repackaged and with purpose... if "creative" pulls their heads out of their assholes and bothers to book him properly this time.

he desperately needs a character reset. RAW was a good start.

I don't like the kayfabe perception that The Rock scolded him like a child at WM and caused him to have a change of heart.

like a dark, sadistic character like Bray Wyatt would go: "Ya know what? The Rock is right... I need to change my evil ways... he believes in me... I don't wanna disappoint him."

since when is The Rock the fucking moral compass of WWE?

dumb.

so weird that he and Luke both had spontaneous leg injuries whilst performing basic movements.

perhaps there is some validity to these "curse" rumblings...

[Rancid_Planet]

It is fucking dumb. But I'm still pretty sure that creative are implying that Rock smacked some sense into Bray at mania and made his heart grow three sizes that day.

I mean nothing else happened between then and the face turn so that's really all we've got.

What would have been better? Let's see. How about Bray finds himself standing up for a bottom rung superstar or superstars that he's tired of seeing railroaded. Someone weird that Bray might relate to. Stardust or The Ascension perhaps. Full on turning his stable into a land of misfit toys type thing. So we wind up rooting for this stable of weirdos and underdogs which then turns Bray into the face for the disenfranchised. Yeah that would have been good.

But instead, no. The Rock is just so awesome that some of it rubbed off on Bray and now he's a good guy. That's it.

[Slutty McWhoreface]

I agree... that would have been a much more interesting storyline to turn him face... or least a tweener.

so many different ways they could have gone with it.

I think they missed a golden opportunity to have The Wyatts feud with The Authority... it just makes sense.
hence why they didn't do it.

he only wears a shirt that says "Down with the machine"... or something to that effect.

[Rancid_Planet]

They teased it several times but yeah fucking nothing ever happened. But since deep down we all know the authority will be back soon, I guess we can still hope. I mean if Bray isn't on the sidelines for fucking ever. And even then, The Authority angle will probably still be going on when he gets back in the ring.

[Slutty McWhoreface]

Depending on the length of the injury, he can still partake in such an angle. that would keep him in the pubic eye... make it seem more special when he finally gets back into the ring.

I wonder what replacement feud they will come up with for LON.

perhaps they will implode sooner than expected.

[Rancid_Planet]

Yeah I say just disband them now. LON have accomplished fuck all during their time together. The stable isn't over. People just don't care to boo someone for nothing more than speaking funny these days. And talented wrestlers are being wasted and forgotten about here. Why isn't Del Rio trying to get his U.S. title back? Why isn't Rusev chasing after Roman for the title? There's a solid heel right there for Roman the Tweener. (Wannabe tweener?)

[mth]

It's really not. Tons of dude's have gotten injured from basic movements. Happens a lot more than getting injured on big exciting moves.

Also, no. There's no validity to any curse because curses are not real.

[Slutty McWhoreface]

Tell that to the Von Erichs...

Sure, you get them to sign up here and I will.

[virms]

Let's start with Lacey

[Donald Pleasence]

I miss Kerry Von Erich.

Maybe if they put a beard and some padding on Bo, no one will notice he's not Bray

[Rancid_Planet]

I...would really like to see that.

I think you mean The Von Erich

[Slutty McWhoreface]

That's a very sobering fact, KP.

[Atty]

What was the time table on Seth's injury? I need him inside me. I mean, on my tv.

[Honey_Badger]

Last I read, July.

[Mr McGregor]

They estimated 6-9 months from November...

Seth. Six and nine. 69. Seth 69...

[The Law]

Styles pulled from house shows this weekend with a back injury. Too bad, I have tickets to a show and I was hoping to see him.

McMahon said on the conference call that Cena, Rollins, Orton, and Wyatt are all back soon. Did he say within the next 30 days? Something along those lines.

[Hero!]

Next 4 weeks

Anyone know if it's related to Styles previous back problems or if it's a new injury?

[Kdestiny]

Anyone know if it's related to Styles previous back problems or if it's a new injury?

I read that he was dealing with several injuries

[The Law]

Was at a house show last night and the main event was Jericho, Anderson, and Gallows vs. Reigns and Usos. Clearly Jericho subbed in for Styles.

[Jordo]

Anyone know if it's related to Styles previous back problems or if it's a new injury?

I read that it was related. It's the internet and I don't think the source was great but it would make sense.

Once you fuck up your back it tends to stay fucked

[mth]

Styles tweeted it's an ankle injury.

[G-Fresh]

Fuck mang, that sucks.

[The Law]

Shame, really wanted to see him. I'm going to Raw tomorrow night so maybe he'll have a match there.

[sam_elmendorf]

In the same tweet, he said he'd be ready for RAW.

Emma has a back injury now.

[Rancid_Planet]

Fuck she needs surgery. She's out for a while.

The last one she was in
