If he didn't have such a muscular neck (Meltzer talked about how in the dungeon they did tons of neck bridges) doctors said he would be dead.
Spine injury and he's out at least a year but I think at this point it's safe to say his career is over.

I dunno, I bought a lot of dumb shit from SMV when I still gave a shit about US indie wrestling. So many CHIKARA DVDs that I'll never watch.

Oh Lord, I went on a dumb rant yesterday on Twitter about how SMV is ass, production wise. They clearly just never try

I thought Tyson got lucky, didn't know about being saved by his neck muscularity. What a shitty situation.
I doubt wwe would let him. He'd have to give up that sweet, sweet total divas money.

I know Joe isn't entirely to blame, it's a freak accident. but man does it really make me not very interested in seeing him.
It sucks that once a wrestler finally gets the push they deserve, injuries happen (Rude, Kidd, TA, etc). It's truly a shame...
Rude... ;_;

I never thought Heel would make a heel turn.
All I know is from what I saw in NXT I wasn't impressed.
I wasn't even that impressed from TNA really. Maybe I missed out when he was good.

My boss paid for those noodles you ungrateful baboon.
It really explains why they were so hush hush after he got injured.
I can't imagine what a death in the ring in 2015 would do to the company. I could definitely see a government inquiry into wrestling safety. Look at how much congress got involved with steroids in wrestling, baseball, and even concussions.
Yeah, that too, Kevin Owens' worst matches in WWE came when Joe was involved.
and Joe's theme music is awful too
I doubt that would happen since it happens so rarely and it doesnt affect kids.

Was it just a Samoan Drop?

It was a freak accident from him landing taking a Muscle Buster. Landed right on his neck
I don't think the government would get involved, but I could see Vince going into full PR disaster recovery mode with the product like how there was a massive shift post Benoit. He'd probably straight up ban a light of high impact moves that endanger the head.
Seems about right unless he's Trips "project", then it'll be all forgiven.

He'll get pushed and win two singles titles?

Tyson basically doing a shoot version of RVD's piledriver sell there jeez.
Also I thought Brown felt personally guilty about the whole droz situation and his in ring stuff suffered as a result.

wait a minute. Samoa?
I thought all this time we were talking about Angry Joe.

I think they are waiting until he is done with the indie dates before he gets the full get go.
But when you look back he was in an odd spot and then they signed him to a full deal after ROH got on Destination America. Plus he really is a main roster guy, Finn had just won his number one contenders match, and Owens was getting a ton of time on the main roster with Cena and needed to drop the belt.
I don't see Vince as somebody with any allies in Washington considering his wife gave the democrats 2 seats in the senate and his company's polices with healthcare and unionization.
No, he'll form a fake Middle-Eastern tag team with Bam Neely.

Ryder wasn't bald enough.
Plus Ryder & Mojo looks like they'll legitimately work.
I had to slow it down to tell wtf happened.
Is it because the back of his neck/head was still on Joe's arm??
Or was his neck/spine kind of like \/ when he landed?
I don't know. I figured the neck is protected by his fat arm.

The Muscle Buster is a cool move that I'd rather keep confined to anime/manga.
I think Tyson got hurt because he was so much smaller then most guys joe probably works with.
If Joe had let got of the leg Tyson would have landed on his back first instead of taking all of the slam on his neck on Joe's shoulder.

Jesus, it's not the fucking Styles Clash, where we have a list of injuries over a decade. One guy got hurt once. Unfortunately, it was bad. Them's the breaks, wrestling is a fucking dangerous business, and shit can happen at any time.

He's wrestled Amazing Red, Styles, Daniels, Kazarian, Josh Alexander, Kyle O'Reilly, Kaz Hayashi, Johnny Gargano, and Low Ki recently. It's not like Joe's only worked with guys the size of Dave Mastiff, Chris Hero, Kurt Angle, Chris Dickinson, and Kevin Owens.
