I just read a rumor about Shawn Michaels and if its true its bad

**Splaya** · 02-24-2004, 12:23 AM

I read that he tore his ACL, courtesy of Prowrestling.com, but that he is going to wrestle with a knee brace. Conventional wisdom states that if he tore his ACL he could not wrestle, but someone please clear this up for me. I'm like going off the wall right now, and I am really worried considering he is my fav wrestler of all time.

**Corkscrewed** · 02-24-2004, 12:24 AM

WTF? That would really suck. That means HHH will pin Benoit for sure!

**Kane Knight** · 02-24-2004, 12:25 AM

Sounds bogus to me.

**Splaya** · 02-24-2004, 12:27 AM

Someone try to find out what is going on here

lol.

RAW SPOILERS BELOW!!

When did he apparently tear it? Because he was fine on RAW last week and this week, and he is supposed to wrestle next week.

**Splaya** · 02-24-2004, 12:46 AM

- The prognosis on Shawn Micheals is that he has a torn ACL, and he has been working with the injury for awhile now. Micheals will wear a knee brace to prevent any further damage to the injury.

Holy mother of fu.cking shit! That man is the toughest son of a bitch ever.

**Splaya** · 02-24-2004, 12:46 AM

wrestleview.com shared that tidbit by the way.

**Iceman90** · 02-24-2004, 12:50 AM

Maybe they will give him a few weeks off (March 1-14) to heal before Mania.

**Kane Knight** · 02-24-2004, 12:51 AM

Holy CRAP.

**Splaya** · 02-24-2004, 12:51 AM

Yes they will I just read it on WWE.com. But in my dreams he is going to wrestle with Chris Benoit against Evolution members Batista and Orton. But that's in my dream.

Please, Please, Please research this shit before you make an ass of yourself.

**The CyNick** · 02-24-2004, 12:58 AM

Yeah the injury is legit, but he's going to work through it. I dont know this as a fact, but maybe thats why they haven't made the Triple Threat a Ladder Match yet. Perhaps they figure it would be too risky with HBK's injury.

Its interesting that he doens't pull himself out of the match, because as he said himself, a Wrestlemania main event should always be one on one.

**Kristanna Vola** · 02-24-2004, 01:04 AM

I'm surprise nobody knew about this, it's legit and has been posted on wrestlezone.com for a couple of days (I guess news travel late) it says there he likely injuried it against Orton a couple of weeks ago and has been wearing a brace so it doesn't worsen. I am surprise he'll still do the match though.

Goody, now Benoit will have to carry two guys to a decent match before one of them gets to pin him.

02-24-2004, 04:40 AM

Holy sh*t. That's bad.

Maybe HBK could like pull out of the match for WMXX and set up a Benoit-HHH match for the title strap, probably with him as referee?

**Sephiroth** · 02-24-2004, 05:46 AM

WTF if that is true, it would really suck big time.

That would be a blow to HHH's plan to jerk off on Benoit...

**Mikey** · 02-24-2004, 10:46 AM

Poor Shawn

I have trouble feeling sorry for the guy, despite the seriousness of the injury.

I'va actually known this for a few days now, I'm just wary of posting things I can't cite a source on, since the only source I have is a guy I work with who tends to be quite knowledgable about these things. Oh well.

Anyways, yeah it sucks, and I gotta wonder how it affects Mania. Will he still win the title and drop it to Benoit in Edmonton, or will HHH use this as an excuse to keep the belt wrapped around his cock for another month?

**Shake** · 02-24-2004, 03:34 PM

No matter what HBK does, karma always seems to catch up with him. Years of whining, politics, obnoxiousness and throwing tantrums if he didn't get his own way, and then his back got buggered. Now HBK and his buddy HHH are getting in Vince's ear one too many times about the WM main event, HBK gets a torn ACL. I apologise to any Michaels fans, but justice is done

"Justice" isn't done if he's still in Wrestlemania and drags it down. The guy IS still working...

**Corkscrewed** · 02-24-2004, 05:09 PM

Dream: Have Benoit put HBK in the sharpshooter and cripple him (let HBK take time off after WM to recover). Have Benoit tear HHH's quad and cripple him. Voila! The CANADIAN CRIPPLER IS BACK!!!!

**Fox** · 02-24-2004, 08:03 PM

You know what this is? This is the Wrestling Gods saying "HBK, get the **** out of the main event, let Benoit have his time in the spotlight."

And HBK wrestling at Mania anyways is him telling the Wrestling Gods to suck his balls.

wrestling_god?

**HeartBreakMan2k** · 02-24-2004, 09:19 PM

I don't see why everyone is saying he'll drag the Mania match down, he was injured when he had his match with Benoit from what I read and that was hardly dragged.

**Heyman** · 02-24-2004, 11:24 PM

The man is WRESTLING with a torn ACL?!?!?!?!?!??!

Good god.

I don't think most people realize how f'cking tough that would be. Kudos to HBK.

It was the primary reason I said it sounded like bullshit.

**Mr. JL** · 02-25-2004, 12:13 AM

Yeah, like come on here. How many sports athelets(sp) can play with a torn ACL? I buddy of mine tore his a few months back and he was on crutches. His knee is still really messed up. I fail to see how HBK could perform the way he has, if he had a torn ACL. It either must be a very very very minor tear or he's taking injections before he steps out into the ring. OR we can believe that Michaels is just a mega tough.

**Kane Knight** · 02-25-2004, 12:16 AM

I like the idea that he's been shooting up at the entryway.
