I would take it as a sign from the Gods at this point. Poor bastard.
As far as Mauro goes, I mean its clear they want him back to associate themselves with McGregor/Mayweather in any way possible, but it was Haitch and Cole who really pushed for him to come in the first place, no?

KENTA literally got hurt again at the NXT taping omg

Finally, a Nakamura shirt that isn't offensive to the eyes:
Even if that shirt does kinda look like an odd cross between a swastika and a ninja star.
"The Artist Know As" is annoying.
Edit: Holy shit, Itami...

He's catching too many breaks, that's the problem
His body's gonna disintegrate into dust if it gets a couple more

Itami's secret identity:
Also, push Lorcan, since we like dudes stiffing each other.
He catches plenty of breaks. Broken bones, that is!

Alison Brie shoots, from what I understand.
Oh I get it Nakamura is Japanese.Finally, a Nakamura shirt that isn't offensive to the eyes:

Well it wasn't as bad as it looks because he is back out there doing the match again.

Wait till Bryan "claims" he's healthy
All three's bone dusts simultaneously blow away at the news

Lorcan wrestles a bit stiff but he is actually a really good and underused performer I think.

Triple H becoming the biggest money mark is hilarious
It was an accident and they redid the match anyway and it was still stiff.

That it seems to be working on all the indy fans is even funnier
"Here's Mauro! Oh shit, you might still hate me if I let Kenta rest? Here's Kenta! Uh, we have
Hojo
All futile because when Bryan walks, and he'll walk, he and they will be booed even more than ever before for it.

He is just trying to summon the spirit of old KENTA. I wouldn't worry too much.

Itami really is injury prone.
So if someone accidentally punches someone in the nose and breaks it. Is that person then labeled injury prone?

When you can look at a list of bones in the human body and now say he's broken/tore/dislocated/separated/destroyed more of them than not, yes
Same for Bryan and Shibata
5 episodes in and GLOW is really good. It has a good cast of characters and treats wrestling extremely well. It gets it. Also, it's fun recognizing all the wrestling cameos.
Bryan related but I hope he does all the checkups needed before wrestling. I mean, I love the man wrestling again but I hope he isn't dumb about it. It's a fucked up situation.

The same can be said for any great wreslter.

Imagine saying Taker isn't injury prone
By this standard then a lot of wrestlers are injury prone. A good chunk of the new japan roster as well.

The Derrick Rose of the WWE, goddamn that's a shame.
Crisis averted.
But it was a worked burial ground...

Also Okada is almost certainly working with at least one injury and has definitely been concussed at least twice this year alone
Basically: I agree and you definitely won't hear me get on anyone's case for needing rest. Which they won't get because Vince, HHH, and Kidani are terrible people

I'm watching attitude era and smackdown has just launched but it sucks. Apart from the launch of the corporate ministry it was terrible. Can I skip smackdown and just watch raw? Will I miss much?

I can't imagine the toll this year has taken on Okada's body. He has been in a lot of very hard hitting matches. A lot.
Omega's knees are fucked too from what I have heard.
Sure NJPW schedule may not be as tough as WWE and Ambrose wrestles the way he does for a reason, but it still isn't good.
Suzuki has been in a few big matches too for his age. The Tokyo Dome DDT match might be ridiculous but they are still running through an entire arena for an hour in a single take.

You can skip everything from the Attitude Era that doesn't involved Mick Foley. Enjoy!
It's tough to quantify which promotion is harder on the body. Nobody in New Japan are dangling from a wire 20 ft in the air to fall flat on their face. No one is taking the absurd bumps that KO is on a distressingly regular basis. And that's on top of the road schedule.
Point is, wrestling is not for people who care about the long term effects of their body. For better or worse.
Omega said he had serious knee surgeries a decade ago but he doesn't have issues with them unless he's on an intense schedule.
