HBM Injured
From PWInsider:
Shawn Michaels has suffered what is believed to be a triceps tear at tonight's Raw taping. That is the current word making it's way around backstage at the show. We hope to have more on this story later. ![]() |

As the worlds biggest Shawn Michaels fan, this sucks ass.
I feel kinda bad though that the first thought that crossed my mind was "If he's injured, he can't wrestle... meaning the Jericho storyline has to continue at least until he can put on a match... YES!!!!" |

Oh man, this is killer.
Well knowing Michaels he is going to go through the un-sanctioned match. In fact, if I were WWE, I would have Jericho just destroy Michaels body. Chair shots to the legs, arms, etc. That way you can write him off for a few months. Hopefully HBK will be good to go for WM |

Jericho is the only man I endorse winning the title from Punk besides HBM.

Pretty much what they have been doing I suppose. TBH I suspected that HBM actually was injured and most of this storyline was written around keeping him on screen without getting in the ring much. Out of all the storylines this has to be one of the easiest to rewrite a bit and keep him involved.

How exactly did this happen when all he did at Raw was sign a piece of paper and have another crappy promo and little scuffle?

Guys have worked matches with the same injury before, right? I'm almost sure Taker, Edge, Mysterio and Batista have all continued to wrestle with the same injury during the last year alone. If he sucks it up and wrestles Jericho at Unforgiven, then they will probably bring the feud to a close while they can.
How long do guys usually end up on the shelf with a triceps tear? |

I can't see him not working the Unforgiven match. He wrestled Austin with a destroyed back and Triple H with a blown out knee so I think he'll get through this. Plus there is precedent with guys working with tricep tears. He'll be gone for a few months afterwards though

HBM is just taking a well-deserved vacation. Vince wants a midcarder as champ so why should the main eventers toil around for nothing. Cena and HBK have the right idea.

Yeah... front page says 4 to 6 months.
So assuming the worst, he would still be able to wrestle at Mania.... This is writing itself. Jericho puts Michaels down for good at Unforgiven and the storyline is just kinda let go until Michaels makes his triumphant return for a match at Mania. Please WWE... I don't ask for much... but PLEASE let this happen.

This could be a blessing in disguise. Look, I love HBK, but the time he has left in the ring is precious. He shouldn't burn himself out. This injury will allow him to rest up things like his knees.
Also, it means that the logical path to take is Chris Jericho destroying Michaels at Unforgiven, and getting himself some nuclear heat. It also means that, logically, the Jericho/HBK feud will not end here, and will continue to build and go on. Maybe Jericho can ride this momentum into the World Heavyweight Championship scene, and maybe HBK can return to win the 2009 Royal Rumble? Is that asking too much? |

It sucks when guys get injured during "segments" instead of actual matches.

Jericho vs. Michaels should have been the WWE Championship main event at WrestleMania this year. Just sayin'.

But then we wouldn't have had Michaels vs. Flair which was fan-freakin'-tastic as well as the amazing Michaels vs. Jericho feud that has followed leading up to possibly one of the best built WrestleMania matches off all time.

If they do go to Mania with this, what kind of match do you, the general populus, want them to have?

I'd love to see a 1 hour Iron man match but I don't think they would be given THAT much time at WrestleMania.
I'd say 2 out of 3 falls is more realistic. Maybe have the match push 40 minutes. |

-- While it has not been made official, the word going around is that Michaels suffered a minor tear of his triceps and will not need surgery. The match Sunday appears to be a go and Michaels may not even need any time off. Tremendously good news for all involved.

I'd actually like to see Shawn Michaels take some time off, anyway. Look, if he keeps going full throttle, the tear is not going to get better, surely. Just have Jericho own Michaels, put him out for a bit, and build to Michaels' returning "from retirement."
As for what sort of match they could have at WrestleMania, believe it or not, I think a Ladder Match would be appropriate. The only problem, of course, is that there will be a Money in the Bank Ladder Match on the card. It's just that I think the match would really suit the feud. Michaels really seems to be jabbing in that Jericho will never be Shawn Michaels, and Jericho always did idolize HBK. Throwing the stipulation that helped make HBK "Mr. WrestleMania" at them would be an effective thing to do at Mania. More realistically, though, they could do some kind of reverse stipulation of what Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair had at Mania this year: If Jericho beats HBK (again), then HBK will be forced to retire for good. |

I do agree, finally, that HBM should take time off. Even just a month or two. But I would also suggest that Jericho not "own" HBM too much. Make it an evenly brutal match, and then Jericho wraps his knees in barbed wire for the final Codebreaker that ends the match.
