JBL injured on SmackDown
February 22, 2006

This week on SmackDown during a six-man tag team match, JBL suffered a broken hand with a displaced bone. Surgery on that hand will take place first thing Thursday morning. WWE.com will have an update as soon as it becomes available.

This match pitting JBL, Finlay & Randy Orton against Rey Mysterio, Lashley & Chris Benoit can be seen Friday Night (8/7 CT) on UPN.

No Wrestlemania for JBL then I suppose.

lol

Gutted, the WWE could really use him right now.

Ouch. Kinda sucks, although he gets less sympathy because he does have that history of being an ass hole. No denying that SD is worse off without him (I never imagined I'd be saying this two years ago).

Great, another injury for Smackdown.I don't like JBL much but he was starting to become an important part of SD again and they've had so many injuries recently, this is why the roster split should end, so they don't get into this mess, because if the rosters are joined, there are obviously more wrestlers to use incase one gets injured.

However personally I think the person who plays JBL deserves to be injured right before wrestlemania.I doin't have much sympathy for him as I do for Smackdown.

JBL is great on the mic. I think he should still show up and cut promos. Maybe he can come out next week in a massive hand cast and say he almost killed himself to get in the ring but the people had to see a 'WRESTLING GOD!!!!'

JBL has massive titties.

Sucks for Smackdown.

JBL is a god of wrestling. That really sucks cause he's one of my reason for being interested in WWE right now. Probably my only reason too.

this just sucks

Booooo

I like JBL :(

Nooooooooooooooo JBL :(

Who was he supposed to face at WM anyways?

Dunno, I was guessing some sort of Four Way for the US title or something?

I hope they keep him on with an interview segment deal. That would be great since hes good on the mic.

How long could he be out for?

They should let Kennedy and JBL host a SNL type news segment weekly where they rip on the storylines, make fun of current events and take shots at Raw. The banter between those two for 10 minutes would blow away whatever Lashley squash match they would normally show.

lol

Dammit I better be able to see Gillian Hall in the time that JBL is out :-\

He should be the Co-GM of SD! with Teddy Schlong

palmer cannon

Corino had hand surgery and wrestled in 4 days....thats Corino though, the man

I'd say several weeks

I would love to see that.

That really blows. I've always been a huge JBL. one of the best on the mic

JBL FTW.


This is gay beyond all belief. :(

Which hand is it? If his right hand is ok, he can still do all of his moves.

Oh well, he wasn't really doing anything. Jobbing to the Boogeyman doesn't mean much.

It's just unfortunate that he ended Bobby Lashley's undefeated streak, and Lashley isn't even going to get retribution.

Maybe Lashley broke it in the match SD! will play it off like retribution.

Watched it here in Canada tonight.

*HIGHLIGHT SPOILERS BELOW*

There was a spot where JBL had his hand on the steel steps outside and Benoit ran into his hand, and so he must have actually injured him. Damn you Benoit :'(

JBL's not going anywhere. Remember Big Show recently wrestled with a broken hand. [/mark] :shifty:

I really dont care

SPOILERS:

It was pretty insane when benoit did it cause you could hear JBL screaming loudly and Rey immediately finished the match and in the background you can see JBL waving his hands calling for help and Benoit actually goes to see if he's ok.

OUCH. For once, Benoit is the one injuring someone else. Well, actually, maybe not for once. He DID break Sabu's neck. But yeah, ouch. That looked like it hurt a lot. Basically, JBL wasn't able to pull his hand out of the steps, so when Benoit dropkicked the steps, they squished his hand against the pole.

Yikes.

Yeah, I felt bad for JBL. By the look of things, it was the first one that did it, but then Benoit did it again. You could tell by the way he was screaming he was in horrible pain though.

benoit is too dangerous to work with

Ya can't keep a wrestling GOD down...

NoDQ.com > WWE > Big JBL Update: Injury, WM22 Match With Benoit
Posted by Andy Steven on 02/24/2006 at 01:55 AM

Over at the WWE website features an update on JBL's condition following surgery to repair a broken hand with a displaced bone. JBL suffered the injury earlier this week at the SmackDown tapings competing in a six man tag team match.

There is a video on the website from the surgery, featuring comments from JBL and his doctor. The video can be seen at WWE.com.

In the video, JBL is claiming that Chris Benoit tried to end his career by injuring his hand, hinting that they'll be fighting at WrestleMania. Neither JBL nor Chris Benoit is booked for another match against each other. WrestleMania 22 would be a great place for both participants to go at it against each other. JBL also said, to end a guy's career, you have to do more than go after someone's hand.

The doctor is quoted as saying JBL's hand is injured, however they want to get him back doing what he does ASAP.

Apparently a WWE source said that the surgery seemed to go well, giving an indication that the injury isn't serious enough to keep him out of WrestleMania.

I hope he still is good enough to do his radio show - I'd love to hear what he has to say about it.

I dunno, he hurt his hand. And as everyone in the entire world knows, if you don't have a healthy hand, your speaking skills is affected, because the hand completely controls speaking....

Actually corky contrary to popular belief that is not true.
