Not a good start to 2016 with these injuries. Wondering if they.should resign Willie Mack or Shaun Ricker. Ricker is great at heel promos.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I have a theory that Dean Ambrose looks way less buff than he did in the Shield for that reason.
People are gonna be legit shook when he beats HHH for the title at WM.

Would of enough time have passed for people to forget that Terry Bollea is a piece of shit by this years Wrestlemania?
I won't be, as soon as they announced the main event, suddenly it fell into place.
It's like last year, where the only possible way to salvage things was Seth, but they had to completely act (on the back end) like everything was normal.
They really need to schedule proper time off for the roster. At this rate they won't have anyone worth watching left. ADR is a great worker but his mic skills aren't the best. I did like that one promo about how Destiny loves Alberto Del Rio but I can't find it...

Will the WWE finally let Tyler Breeze shine? ;_;
I think all these injuries shows that WWE need to have more people on rotation. Healing time is extremely important if the company wants these athelics to perform at such a level. To request these guys and girls to perform at high level on TV, house shows and even more on PPV full-on means that time off and more wrestlers on the roster is needed. This would also mean that the bookies need to improves greatly and the company need to let the wrestlers do their thing so their credibility can grow more organically.

Time to bring in The Rock, Stone Cold, Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart. Take it back to 1997!

WWE needs to implement Thesz's three weeks on, one week off schedule. Stagger it among their wrestlers and it won't be hugely noticeable. Top stars who need to remain visible can do only raw on their week off, and just promos - not actually compete. That happens enough anyway for it to be unnoticable

At this point Daniel Bryan is probably one of the healthiest wrestlers on the roster.

These independent contractors should probably unionise.
Or at least join SAG.

The hellish WWE schedule combined with the current faster paced wrestling style is finally taking its toll.
I can already hear Austin telling these young cats to slow the fuck down.

They tried that once, they got wiped out by the corporate ministry
Pff who cares about what the uggos think, Tyler will show them how wrong they are.

could never
Payback for the Vince vs God angle at Backlash 2006.
There are mics under every ring to make the impacts sound louder. Its possible that the mics were turned up louder that night.

i'd say SOMEONE BUBBLE WRAP OWENS! But it looks like he's probably already wrapped.
But seriously do you remember guys when the WWE was smart enough to not communicate that badly on injuries, but they used it in storylines ? That was back when they tried to tell stories.
For example, what if all those heel injuries are the result of a shadow man trying to become the first contender ?? i'm saying that but i'm saying nothing..
lol Where is that from?
At this point, Owens is the only guy who won't get hurt.
I'd consider that a win, since he's probably the best guy on the roster right now. I'm omitting AJ for now since he's new for WWE, but Owens is the best they've got IMO.
With all the injuries they need to turn bubba Ray into a singles heel. His run in tna was probably the best of his career. He would instantly be a top heel. A Dean Ambrose bubba Ray fued going into maina would be killer. At his age he dosent have much time left but he could put alot of the new and young guys over.
I've been telling friends for some time now that Kalisto v del Rio needs an added element, someone to keep the storyline going in case someone gets hurt (swore it would be Kalisto after the botch at the Rumble).
While their superstars are hurting, they really aren't lacking in talent. Kofi, Big E, Dolph, Breeze, Neville, Rusev, Bray, AJ, Brock, Ambrose, Sandow, KO, Gold/Stardust, Strowman/Rowan/Harper, Roman, the NXT folks that should be called up (Finn, Enzo/Cass, Bayley, etc).
The problem is just in booking. When you put all your eggs into one basket and someone goes down, you have to start all over.
Hell, if you rely on a heavier rotation you probably won't have so many damn injuries.

Amazing how badly they're wasting him. Dudleys are jobbing in dark matches.

As it should be. He can say he took over all of them and is now King of Nations.

Technically, Rusev is injured too. He has a knee injury. He's just wrestling through it.
I'm sure there are a bunch of minor/undisclosed injuries that talent are working through above and beyond the ones that have others on the shelf.
Cast or not, it doesn't sound like Sheamus will be out for long. Wouldn't be surprised to see him back in the ring before Del Rio.
On the other hand, look at Asuka.

Rusev is now the Unilaterality of Nation.
not being funny but this is really needed. Talent being wasted that is in desperate need to put into real use.

He's doing something these days at least, paired with Goldust.

People would have cheered for Sheamus and Del Rio?

You gotta wonder if protecting wrestlers too much makes them weaker. Since it makes no difference they should have every match like this:
Well people cheered for Del Rio in 2014 against Batista. Can't remember the last time Sheamus got cheers.
We had a rush of broken necks in 2002- Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, Edge, Hardcore Holly, Lita (and probably some more people I'm forgetting). They made changes- less crazy ladder spots, longer and slower matches- and it's now a pretty uncommon thing for a wrestler to break their neck. They need to figure out what is causing all of this- I'm not as convinced as some people that it's the style of lifting they are doing, because if it was, I would think you would see a lot more injuries on the NXT side of the roster, who are all at that preformance center daily doing those lifts.
It does seem like they are cursed by god though. This is the year they are running a nearly 100,000 seat arena for Wrestlemania, and apparently (according to the sheets), the year Vince had most of the Wrestlemania card made 6 months ago that's all been thrown out due to injury.

anybody you put against Reigns with a smark crowd is gonna get cheered

The NXT is not as much of a grind as the wwe lifestyle. I think these injuries are just a result of what these guys do for a living, and the fact that they all are occurring at the same time is just an unfortunate coincidence.

When him, as a face, was annihilating a crying (...) heel (...) Big Show with a chair.
