Randy Orton re-injures collarbone, out 3 more months.
 

The following is from WWE.com:

Randy Orton was involved in a motorcycle accident resulting in him re-injuring his collarbone. Orton had initially injured his collarbone last June at One Night Stand, during his confrontation with Triple H in a Last Man Standing Match for the WWE Championship.

As a result of re-injuring the collarbone, Orton will be out of action for three months.

Wow. Bad news for Orton fans. :-\

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

FUCK THIS!

What the fuck.

Mother












































Fucker.

Its a work. They're setting up Randy Orton versus Chuck Palumbi.

Damn, that does suck.

They ban the shooting star press but not the highway easy rider?

Work.

I bet he shat himself.

I bet it's a work. EVERYTHING IS A WORK!

I'll only believe it's a work, if we have some *exclusive* footage of the accident, on RAW or even worse on WWE.com.

Don't worry though, he'll probably be back in time to win the '09 Royal Rumble. (spoiler, maybe/probably) ;)

Yeah. All 5 of em.

Haha owned.

If this is true, is sucks. Damn and he was supposed to be back at Summerslam. And I'm still waiting on my RNN updates.

WEll It could be a work because, he was rumored to be back this sunday and WWE sometimes goes out of it's way to dispell rumors. No real logic, just more of a hunch.

What an idiot. Did what happen to that Steeler Quarterback teach him nothing!?

Considering how they explained this on raw, i think it definitely a work. Why they've gone down this route i don't know though.

Is it me, or are injured wrestlers always out for a number of months that are multiples of three?

Like... "Orton is expected to be out for 3 months"... or 6 months... or 9 months...

???????

Since it was a "by the way" tidbit, as opposed to a vignette, a story advancer, a feud starter, a feud fueler, a form of character development, and has no bearing on anything at all, including the fact that he was hoping to be merely backstage at SummerSlam, I'm thinking he's just dumb enough to be speeding at night on a bike he doesn't know how to drive.

Add to that, the fact that Cole and King weren't even on camerea when they mentioned it AND there were no details other than the impressive 300' flight he took, I see no reason to suspect anything "in the works".

Good. I'm glad Orton wasn't seriously hurt and all, but if I don't see him in a WWE ring again, I'm not likely to complain anytime soon.

It's still real to me DAMMIT!!

They're clearly not employees, man.

:roll:

When was he SUPPOSED to return? Soon?

The one thing that doesn't make sense to me is that apparently the collarbone is the only injury he has. He had a death-defying throw from a motorcycle and nothing else was injured? It seems an accident like that would have other injuries.

Maybe he accidentally landed in a landfill which accidentally had syringes full of steroids lying around and he accidentally landed on them, injecting himself.

Accidentally.

This is pro wrestling, where you can be dropped in a car fifty feet and walk away with only a bandaid on your forehead.

...Did I mention it's still real to me?

They have similar traits! :mad:

Also, speaking of similarities, I would like to bring up an instance from my personal history:

One night, two friends and I were in an accident that sent our car spinning thru the air and landed over 400ft from where we left the road. The car was completely destroyed, inside and out, and the worst injury was the driver's dislocated thumb. Point being, there's nothing illogical about his recent weak spot being the #1 area to receive damage, and since he waswearing a helmet, I don't persponally doubt any more than a few scrapes and bruises at 30 mph.

If this turns out to be the work that everyone has sunk their teeth into, great -- you were al right from the start, and cheers to that. But calling it "suspicios" and whatnot is a little goofy.

Yeah, I can't see what is suspicious about it. If they wanted to to do some kind of injury work, they would just leak reports that he is going to be out a few more months. No need for a motorcycle accident.

This also means that we'll likely get three months of Chris Jericho and Kane being higher on the top heel list, which I love.

As my post above. Anyone who "falls" 300ft, and is back in 3 months, either needs to do advertising the leathers he was wearing, or is plainly part of a work.

Someone agrees with me. :yes:

Yeah, it is more likely that you'll injure an already injured area. I injured my shoulder doing Aikido, and since then, I've re-injured it twice. It's even worse if it doesn't heal properly, but any such injury will continue to be aliability, period.

Moonraker, a friend of mine was ejected from my Chevy Caprice as it rolled into a ditch. I was lucky enough to be kicked back on solid ground. It knocked the wind out of me, left me blacked out for a couple of seconds. He got hurled over an embankement. His worst injury, with no helmet or leathers? A concussion. May car wasn't completely wrecked like the example AL's giving, but he fell down an embankment after being ejected by a rather heavy vehicle (Many times what Orton's Motorcycle likely weighed). It wasn't moving at full speed, but even ten miles an hour could very easily deliver twice the force of a motorcycle accident, and that's assuming Orton was being a reckless asshat. You know, because he is one.

EDIT: One of the main reasons motorcycle accidents are so dangerous, by the way, is the lack of safety features in cars. A car's frame will crumple to cushion the blow, and you have seatbelts to keep you from being ejected, etc. So once you take away factors like protection, you're talking a much more dangerous scenario than a bike.

I see what your saying and what everyone else is, but that's it. Do you see Orton doing 30MPH? even 35MPH. I just don't see it. Yeah it's possible for him to be lucky, but bollocks. Also, don't he have hyper-mobile shoulders which make them prone to simple injury. - I'd have expected them to be done in too.

But ok, we'll see. Either way, I want him back now.

Age of Orton please.
