cool arrow Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Sin Cara has to be a contender too, on an injuries-per-year basis.
rzombie1988 Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Is Mark Henry the most injured wrestler in history? Probably Rey Mysterio. I definitely think Rey is a contender but he at least seems to space it out a little bit and take the time off.
Victator Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 I swear I though that was Slick in the poster for a second. But then I thought, where is the overwhelming charisma. Also why is he not old as dirt and on a PPV poster in 2013.

Overly Critical Man Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Is Mark Henry the most injured wrestler in history? Kurt Angle, though.
Rev Ray Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Is Mark Henry the most injured wrestler in history? Probably Rey Mysterio. There's always Ahmed "Danger to himself and others" Johnson.
SirSmUgly Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 I was reading some old DDT Digest reviews and one of them mentioned a WWF special called "WWF: The Way We Were" that was airing after RAW on 7/14/97. I did a cursory look up on the old YouTubes and on Daily Motion, but to no avail. Does anyone remember this special and if so, would you mind letting me know if you think that it is worth trying to more actively track down?
Victator Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Believe it was the Summerslam special. It showed clips of Hogan, Savage, Bret and Piper.
SirSmUgly Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Believe it was the Summerslam special. It showed clips of Hogan, Savage, Bret and Piper. Thank you very much. I might try to look for it some more just to see how 1997 Vince's VOs talk about all these guys that have left for WCW and made Nitro such a hot show.
Victator Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 They were in a weird position. Since they could not bury Hogan and company, because in this case they would bury themselves. So they made it sound like they burnt out after leaving the WWF. The Survivor Series special/VHS was even better. They editing Survivor Series 96 to look like Austin beat Bret and Andre retired Hogan at Survivor Series 87.
jstout Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Wikipedia was no help - does Mysterio keep hurting the same knee all of the time, the one he wears that gigantic brace on, or does he injure different knees? He's gotta be close to the end of the line, injury-wise. He's not even 40 yet. WWE should start a small-time promotion full of masked luchadores, make it kid-friendly, make Mysterio the on-camera boss and syndicate the shows in markets with heavy Latin populations. Keep it afloat with limited house shows and merch sales. If anybody takes off, bring them up to the big time.

Don't use big names, kinda make it a Latin-flavored NXT. Kiddie it up.
Sky Blue Sam Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Just been watching Bragging Rights 2010, and the Buried Alive match between Undertaker and Kane ended with the Nexus attacking Taker and causing him to be buried alive. Excuse my poor memory, but was it ever explained why they did this?
Ace Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 No. It was supposed to build to Barrett vs. Taker, I believe at WM.
Sky Blue Sam Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Oof, bit of a step down to a 3 minute 8-man tag match for Wade there.
odessasteps Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 As we know from Dave trotting out the anecdote every time he is injured, Rey's doctor told him in the 1990s that his knees were so bad he shouldn't even jump off a curb.
cool arrow Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Oof, bit of a step down to a 3 minute 8-man tag match for Wade there. One of the many joys of working for Vince. Still, I can't imagine Barrett even being on the Mania card at this point, so...
RonL21 Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 I feel like Punk would not gain you cred with Mark Henry. In an interview a couple month ago, Henry said Punk was one of his favorite people.
Web Conn Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 I asked this last month but I think it got lost amongst the postmodernism:Is there a Best of WCW Saturday Night set anyone knows of? Or best of WCWSN/Pro/Worldwide?There is definitely no "official" set, but I know you can find torrents of complete episodes. An "unofficial" best of the B-shows" comp, of only the Saturday & syndicated shows would have potential for some good stuff. Those sets would be a dream. I'm sucker for those shows over Nitro and Thunder because of the odd match-ups and appearances. I always loved that futuristic, sci-fi designed Saturday Night set and the show open too. I'd love to see 911 in WCW and a quick search on YouTube produced nothing
LooseCannon Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 In honor of Labor Day, what are the best wrestling gimmicks that revolve around working class occupations?
