It was still WAY too close to being far, far worse.

Yeah I know, big show threw him too far and Wade got hurt trying to fix it and make sure Dolph didn't die.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

I'm almost more pissed that there was no adjustment and Santino was almost thrown onto Wade's arm. That kinda shit can't happen

Even the Kofi elimination he almost bumped into Vicki.

The in-ring people knew that spot went very badly. At that point they were probably not focused on improvising.

 

[MetatronM]

I actually think Ziggles is okay. His selling looked more like awesome Ziggles selling, not "Fuck I'm hurt bad".

He hit the table with his chest and never grabbed it.

Yeah, I think Ziggler came away ok. It looked like he might have really fucked his back, but he didn't stay put for long, and Ziggler's a pretty flexible dude. I think he narrowly avoided something really bad.

 

[Brinbe]

Of course they do. I would think either Ziggler or Barrett should win the MITB, so they have a ticket into the main event.

Definitely agree with you there, that's tailor-made for a Ziggler W. Gonna show that damn briefcase off.

And re-watched that Santino elimination spot on The Score replay, and wow, he came so close to Barrett, they kinda freaked out.

Also seeing Jericho and Cody team up to eliminate that big oaf just warms my heart. So awesome.

 

[G-Fex]

RIP Barret's arm


well anyways, NWA fans, our show is of course up Now

 

[ViewtifulJC]

What a depressing end

 

[number47]

Honestly that was a fairly typical spot. It was just too close to the announce table and it looked like Show may have overthrown him.

i usually recall when a throw happens, its on the other side, to allow more movement when they get up. not a tight area by the announcer table. its comparable to when they do they high flying spot . its rarely done near the announcer table.

no one noticed kofi almost got injuried too? r truth fell on his butt again. they need to take the reserves from nxt and give the raw main people a break.

on a odd note, this reminds me if when it was jeff/hhh battling for the spotlight. why is it that jeff has to do the crazy shit.

 

[Sanjuro]

Someone have a video/gif of Barret?

 

[Skilotonn]

I gotta rewatch Wade, because I couldn't catch that at all, only Dolph. Missed Jericho asking if he was okay too.

 

[jmdajr]

yeah they muted wade f bombs

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

I actually think Ziggles is okay. His selling looked more like awesome Ziggles selling, not "Fuck I'm hurt bad".

He hit the table with his chest and never grabbed it.

Yeah, that's true. It still looked super nasty and was thrown too far by Show.

 

[Dark Ninja]

I think what was worse is how slow the paramedics were should take them 30 sec tops to get out there and help the guy barret was on the floor for at least 5 min

 

[sajj316]

It was a train reck main event. Top mid level talents getting injuried, Kofi almost splashed Vicky, Santino almost landing on injured Wade, and Cole being Cole.

 

[Ithil]

Man that match was a total disaster.

Wade and Ziggler's mishap really took the excitement out from Jericho's win.

 

[Sanjuro]

I think what was worse is how slow the paramedics were should take them 30 sec tops to get out there and help the guy barret was on the floor for at least 5 min

I think that is protocol. He wasn't in a life threatening situation.

 

[krae_man]

I think what was worse is how slow the paramedics were should take them 30 sec tops to get out there and help the guy barret was on the floor for at least 5 min

But if Cena does a Keyfabe Cross the paramedics get there in 5 seconds.

[-Pyromaniac-]

Ziggler sold that like a boss but big show done fucked up.

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

The problem with Ziggler's selling. I don't know if he plays dead or is dead sometimes

To be fair, that's not really so much a "problem" as it is a compliment.

 

[darkside31337]

Jesus christ. I shouldn't laugh but I did

 

[number47]

To be fair, that's not really so much a "problem" as it is a compliment.

its a problem. you sell...you move around. dolph sells....lays there. the time you wonder if its selling or not,its time lost possibly getting help for him.

 

[krae_man]

Wrong arm.

 

[IC_Champion]

Every time I heard that boots-to-asses chant, it sounds like they are chanting SUPER-DRAGON

I know what you're talking about.

 

[funkystudent]

any clips/gifs of wades fall?

what happened exactly? broken arm?

well that would suck but at least its only his arm.



oh god.... WWE are gonna ban people jumping over the top rope now arent they? 2 incidents in a month.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Big Show, there's really no need to be that reckless

 

[Htown]

But if Cena does a Keyfabe Cross the paramedics get there in 5 seconds.

To be fair, in that case the medics already knew the "injury" was coming.

Also they didn't have as far to go.

 

[Forkball]

This is awful, but I laughed.

 

[jmdajr]

Big Show, there's really no need to be that reckless

Show look mortified

 

[RunWhiteBoyRun]

Ziggler worked the dark match, he's fine.

 

[Sanjuro]

RIP

 

[funkystudent]

Big Show, there's really no need to be that reckless

that bastarding bastard.

He is a menace to the WWE universe.

Only Shaq can save us now.

 

[trunbuns]

just clicked wade barrett on worldwide trends and there's reports that dolph is working the dark match.

 

[Judderman]

Dolph Ziggler IS Working The Dark Match For The Arena, Wade Barrett Had His Arm In A Sling

 

[RBH]

What baffled me even more is how Cody and Santino decided to do that elimination spot on the same side of the ring where Barrett was still being attended to by the medics.

Bad situation that could've gotten even worse if Santino landed a few inches closer towards Barrett.

 

[smr00]

I didn't catch the wade thing but it looked like Ziggler broke his goddamn neck.

I hear people saying he didn't get injured, the way he was screaming and the fact they were blurring out the cussing makes me think otherwise, not to mention they completely stray away from even talking about that bump for the rest of the match and don't even mention it at the end.

Hope he's ok.

 

[B M ARAGON]

Big show

 

[Phoenixazure]

 

[Bucket-o-roadkill]

Guys. D brine is right. Big show should just leave, first Ajs neck, now Barrett's arm..

 

[Ithil]

Fuck I hope Wade doesn't miss WM because of this. Even minor injuries can take 4-6 weeks to heal, there's only 6 weeks til WM.

 

[RBH]

Drew McIntyre, this is your time to shine!

Meltzer's writeup kind of makes it sound like such a comedy of errors:

Wade Barrett suffered a serious arm injury catching Dolph Ziggler who was thrown over the top rope by Big Show during the main event Battle Royal on Raw.

You could see Barrett holding his right arm and furious immediately knowing he suffered a serious injury. An "X" was signaled and doctors rushed to the scene as the match went on. Making it worse, is that when Santino Marella was thrown over the top, he landed on Barrett's possibly broken arm. Ziggler was also hurt when his shoulder and arm crashed on the table and R-Truth needed help going to the back.

Kofi Kington was probably not hurt but when he was thrown out he had to change his trajectory to avoid Vickie Guerrero and had an ugly crash into the boards.

Cody Rhodes, who came into the match hurt from last night with a right thigh or hamstring injury, was limping badly and was hurt worse when he did a Disaster kick and the leg gave out. However he got up and had several more spots to do including play a hand in helping eliminate Show which allowed Jericho to win the match.

People who have gotten major injuries wrestling Big Show in 2012.

Mark Henry - Hyper-extended his leg. Not Show's fault, but worth mentioning.
Randy Orton - Aggravated his back injury after a miscommunication with Big Show on the match finish.
Dolph Ziggler - Sells incredibly well, so it's hard to tell, but I mean he landed on the announce table with just his head and nothing more.
Wade Barrett - Looks like his elbow was shattered when Big Show overthrew Ziggler.

Ziggler is a machine

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Did Mick Foley just give away the finish for HHH vs. UT?

Yeah @jpworld , I'd love to be part of HIAC in some way..maybe as guest ref, or as commentator. Just an honor to be part of UT's last match.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Looks like Big Show is gonna get buried into oblivion for this.

He's a walking disaster right now. Keep him with Shaq and away from the rest of the roster.

Huh, that actually sounds pretty good. Crazier things have happened when others get injured
