hah. he just came back from an injury, right?

Not too long ago, maybe 6-7 months?

Is this legit or kayfabe?

Joe choked his knee into a living death

Lol

Storyline obviously.

I wonder if Trips is taking WM off this year?

It's legit.

Move in now move out
Flail up now flail down
Back up back up
Tell me what you're gonna hurt now

Keep Rollins Rollins Rollins Rollins
Keep Rollins Rollins Rollins Rollins

Meltzer now reporting it as well, said it's in the same spot as previous knee injury

It was because he was flailing around like a moron before Joe pulled down on the clutch, so all his weight was on one knee.

seth's knees vs nash's quads

showdown

If Seth is out, what should they do at WM?

HHH vs. Balor ?

HHH vs. Reigns II?

HHH vs. Taker III?

FUCK YOUR FAT ASS JOE

Just leave him off. HHH doesn't have to be on the card. Only thing that made sense for him was Rollins. If that can't happen now then he shouldn't be on the card. Makes Joe look more like a bad ass storyline wise at least.

FUCK OFF WITH THIS SHIT.

damn

Didn't Samoa Joe injure Tyson Kidd too/isn't that why Kidd is retired...why isn't Bret Hart bitching about this yet?

ffs

oh I already posted a Damn in this thread

ffs @ me then

He will be, Seth is to blame.

bahahaha

Watching Joe bring down Rollins from his side right there just screams knee fucked.

Sucks for him. Hope its nothing too serious

Thats basically his career. They wont put much stock in him with his injury issues.

Yeah that's not good.

Leave HHH off
Keep Joe off until after Mania.
If there was more time they could build to a HHH/Joe involving HHH going back on his word or something but now leave him off or cast him aside and throw him to Smackdown

That's what happens when you give some green as grass indie wrestler the spotlight like that. Too much pressure.

He's probably saved the roster injuries by taking out Seth.

This could easily turn until Joe v HHH. Joe wants to cash in on what he was promised, HHH decides he's not going to hold up his end of the bargain, attacks Joe, and boom, insta feud.

Although Joe works much much better as a heel. But there's not much else for him to do. Everyone else seems tied up in other budding storylines

If this was Roman Reigns he would have speared Joe when he tried to put him in a chokehold and then gave him a Superman punch.

let sting get his win over trips

Sting is too old to wrestle.

It would take an archaeological dig to retrieve Zayn from that burial.

Do Reigns vs Joe when HHH goes after him next to keep the title where he wants it and eliminate him as a threat. Swerve being HHH siding with Reigns at Mania to complete his turning to the darkside. Have an enraged Joe chasing them down post Mania.

Zayn vs HHH is easy too when Zayn sticks up for Rollins, and HHH promises to crush him at Mania, not because he is a threat, just cause he wants to and has nothing to do. Zayn having to prove himself.

Could be two great matches and sets up post Mania well..

Would prefer they just left HHH off now and Taker off too. He looked terrible in the Rumble and obviously needs surgery.

so is taker, yet he's still around.

Fuck! This sucks so bad for Seth. Like I can't even imagine his feeling right now. When he does return, this match with Triple H is going to be fucking fire hot.

I'd say leave Triple H off the card it's already over crowded anyway and he isn't adding much to a show that is already going to be pretty awesome.

However if he must be on then I think he needs to go against Balor, Sami or Joe. I don't know how it works but it's gotta be someone who can be elevated from that type of match. Would also enjoy Braun Strowman squashing Triple H.

Other option is HHH whining about his lack of Mania opponent and laughing about Rollins misfortune, saying a guy of his pedigree has few peers in the history of the business...

..cue Kurt Angle's music.

Easy to build up a match like that with their history, and would be the one HHH match at this stage that I would be excited about seeing.

Took the clutch wrong. I guess his flopping around like an idiot finally did something bad for him.

WWE gonna end up with an old school, ridiculously long built match next year at WrestleMania. They'll have been feuding for a year and a half without even really touching.

Joe is probably the right way to go now if they're dead set on HHH still wrestling. It's an easy enough story to tell. Zayn vs Triple H would just be silly.

I'd rather see Joe vs Roman as Roman stands up for Seth, Taker doesn't face Roman but takes on Strowman, and Triple H and Shane have a family feud.

wonder if joe will get the joes going to kill you chant again. the wild thing is trips in ring talking about seth getting hurt. so I think they will do a seth can't hack it story.

Samoa Joe would definitely make Owen Hart bounce

This is what happens when you get a fat ass from TNA.

What, that makes Seth Rollins kick his legs like a toddler having a tantrum?

He is trying to make up for the TNA filth in the ring with him.

Taker/Strowman....jesus I hope Taker is healthy for this, Braun is a big mofo and honestly I don't want Taker getting hurt again in their match.

Triple H vs Shane is easy, Shane is pissed that Trips keeps getting involved and manipulating above his head (IE Handing KO the title, and now Joe) and wants to stop him. (Triple H can call up NXT or "his" guys to take out Smackdown members), showing new talent on TV and building their feud.

The problem with Taker not being hurt is that no matter who he works with in the match at Mania, he is not coming out unscathed. He is going to be hurt in some capacity

Didn't he come back early from this last injury? I could be wrong about that, but wasn't he supposed to be out for 9 months and came back in 6 or something.

There is no one to blame. Please stop. Its a physical activity. Shit happens.

One more look and not arguing with your slow mo....watch when Rollins is lined up perfectly with Joe....and watch Joe's right leg start his jump, I don't think he knew Seth was gonna keep turning.

look at them motherfuckin' analysts

true goddamn john maddens

It's a guy from TNA. Of course he cause it. Rollins has been sabotaged.

What the hell are you talking about?

JOE'S GONNA KILL YOUr knee!!!!

There's never been a better time to bring Brodus Clay back and repackage him as "Son of Mantaur".

HHH vs Mantwo at WM33!

Bring back Steiner so Triple H can get his posedown victory back.

Besides Rollins, Jericho (ankle) and Rich Swann (foot) were also injured within the span of a day. Looks like Papa Shango decided to start his curse late for this year's Road to Mania.

WWE could probably easily transition into a Joe-HHH feud by having HHH try to take all credit for Rollins injury or boss around Joe too much that he resents being just a lackey. Wouldn't really need to turn Joe face for it to work since people would still want to see Joe destroy someone at Mania.

I get what you're saying here but Joe catches Rollins on the left leg in the scenario you describe and it's his right leg that is injured if you look at the twitter pic of his leg wrapped up.

Joe almost kills Kidd and now this.

I dont think hes sloppy, but he goes FUCKING hard and stiff and this shit will happen.

He definitely goes after the clutch awkwardly and blow out Rollins Knee.

Seth put himself in danger, his legs and whole body are all over the place when Joe does his really basic move. This is something I've noticed in the past, some guys seem to be willy nilly with their bodies, Seth is one of those guys. He's always got limbs going every direction, look at how he sold Joe's beat down throwing himself upside down into the barricades. An example is how he jumps off things landing on his feet, Ambrose does it too when he suicide dives out of the ring and lands on his feet; that is just begging to hurt knees and ankles.

leave Joe alone LEAVE HIM ALONE!

The curse of Samoa Joe strikes again!

hopefully it's not completely knackered

*And rollins too

But really though it's crazy how good at submission wrestling Samoa Joe is. The guy locks in a choke and tears a guys knee while doing it. Impressive

I remember watching a lacrosse fight and one guy got punched in the face, broke his ankle, and got his ear ripped in the net as he fell down....good old days.

I don't think it's either of their faults. Just an accident.

Nobody's taken heat for any of Seth's accidents so I don't think anyone is in shit.

Tough spot to put the WWE again. Seems like a lot of injuries surround Seth. It's not put a monkey wrench into two straight Manias, as well as whatever they had planned for Valor after SummerSlam last year. That's a lot of TV time wasted because of injuries involving Rollins, whether they were accidents or not. WWE proved last year they could shuffle the chairs and pull off a great show, here's hoping they do the same this year.

Nakamura

I think Rollins flopping around is the root cause.

Of course your fat ass will take the side of the fat slum from TNA. Racist bitch.

This could cause Vince to rethink Rollins role in the company. Seth could become a permanent member of the midcard club.

Yeah, I mean at least it's his knee and not something like his neck. But this does have a Daniel Bryan feel to it, where the company has invested a ton of time to get him over and now they can't capitalize on that investment because the talent keeps getting hurt.

Doubt he's going to suffer the same way Bryan and Sasha did in terms of being injury prone.

Unlike those two, he already has hand-picked star status in the WWE and WWE rarely likes to take it away from their big stars. He's the #2 face on RAW and depending on Balor, he's either staying at #2 or becomes the top face for his return if the rumored Reigns heel turn happens.

Worst case is probably something like Sheamus. Another hand-picked star who suffered a rash of injuries but still gets treated as a big star and still gets meaningful stuff and/or main event pushes.

WWE was looking for something to point at and go "NOPE" with Sasha and Bryan. If they had been perfect they probably would have gotten in trouble for being too good.

HHH/Taker would be IV-The Voyage HHHome.

III-The Search for Shawn

II- The Wrath of The Deadman.

I- The Motion Match.

This is seriously the answer for HHH for mania. It sucks that it has to be rushed but it could be fit perfectly into the current storyline.

Have HHH walking around backstage at NXT and Shinsuke randomly attacks him and beats the shit out of him. Shinsuke says something along the lines of "Seth says hello". Build it up with a final match between Shinsuke and Joe at an NXT show about a month before mania. Shinsuke goes over and proceeds to challenge HHH to a WM match since he got past his guard dog. Bam instant fill in for the HHH match and it furthers the Rollins/HHH feud for down the road.

std hates fit people

I'd save Nakamura till after Mania. If Rollins is hurt, then HHH should move on.

I don't think there's really a feud in place for him unless they decide to turn Joe against him. Which I'm not keen on, honestly.

Supposedly 8 weeks which is right at WM

Enjoy watching it from the press box again

Nakamura should debut on the Raw after Mania. No need to rush him into a big program like that. Remember, not everyone watches NXT.

As far as the injury, I feel like a lot of wrestling super-fans (us) think that they know more about wrestling than they actually do, simply from having watched more of it than any human possibly should. Whether you're a Seth Rollins fan or a Samoa Joe fan, or whether the converse of either is true, you have to feel bad for the situation. Rollins and Triple H would have been a great match. Seth is probably completely crestfallen over this. And yes, it's all because shit happens. There's no need to try and pinpoint whose fault it is. It's entirely as inconsequential as it is an exercise in futility.

All that said, I don't think that Triple H needs a new Wrestlemania program either.

No. The Smackdown after Mania godammit.

OK fine

Lets have AJ go after Shane and a babyface turn for HHH to defend his brother-in-law. AJ over HHH at Mania.

I agree.

Given the storyline they laid out on Monday with Hunter trying to avoid being an in ring talent and focus on NXT, I think it would be better to keep HHH off Mania because Seth was the one driving him to make this decision to fight again. In a lot of ways the injury is good for this angle, just hurts Mania a bit.

They should just let Seth work Mania if it's 8 weeks. I get that they are all about wellness and all the b.s. now but if you protect him he'll be fine. As Bret Hart said, there's a way to work hurt.

He deserves the payday.
