Guest Sakura Report post Posted April 28, 2003 WORCESTER, Mass. – May 27, 2003 -- Rey Mysterio may have suffered multiple injuries during his match with the Big Show tonight at Backlash. Mysterio was apparently hurt when he was tossed into the steel post while lying on a backboard. The San Diego native was immediately taken via ambulance to a nearby hospital, where doctors were to examine his head, neck, arms and wrists. WWE.com will have more details about Mysterio as they become available. WWE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RedJed Report post Posted April 28, 2003 If its not a work I laugh at the bookers for deciding upon that idea, and at the same time feel bad for Rey for their incompetancy in booking an angle that caused legitimate injuries. How sad if true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted April 28, 2003 I'd assume this is a "work", but i guess it could be cover for him to take some time off for a real injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest C-Bacon Report post Posted April 28, 2003 Meltzer said it was most likely a work judging from the "nearby hospital" line Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted April 28, 2003 You don't realize the Power of Meltzer do you? Not really. Why is Rey the sacrificial lamb for all of the SD fat, useless hosses Vince wants to shove down our throats? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted April 28, 2003 Rey was A KEY contributor to making NWO look Dastardly via Lawn Dart... WWE figured Rey could do the same here for TBS... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sakura Report post Posted April 28, 2003 The wording of this is funny. It's so hokey. They put over Show and mention him being rushed to the hospital. When people like Crips are injured they have like one sentence about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CED Ordonez Report post Posted April 28, 2003 I'm really hoping this is work. Considering how vicious that spot looked and how Big Show failed to protect Rey at all (Show basically lets go of Rey on impact and lets him fall unprotected headfirst) I wouldn't be surprised if there was a legitimate injury incurred.

Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted April 28, 2003 Rey was A KEY contributor to making NWO look Dastardly via Lawn Dart... WWE figured Rey could do the same here for TBS... Oh right. Rather than come up with something original, they rehash something from 7 years ago. Figures. Didn't they try this for that bully Bill Demott, and for SEVERAL cruisers, and no one gave a shit then either? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted April 28, 2003 Fuck Big Show, he will never be over because he SUCKS. That's a Dumb Statement and you know it. TBS was OVER until WWE decided to turn him a million times in one year and killed his persona... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted April 28, 2003 They wouldn't have given that much information this soon if it was real to any degree. Also if he was taken to a Hospital for real I'm sure it would've been named instead of "nearby hospital". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted April 28, 2003 God, the WWE is stupid. "Let's have our top cruiserweight and one of the most over guys on our show get destroyed by Big Show so we can have him go against Brock in a match that no one gives a flying fuck about..." Winners? Not Rey. Not the Cruisereweights. Not Brock. Not Benoit, Cena, Eddie, or anyone else who could use the push instead. Certainly not the fans. Stupid, Stupid, WWE. Burn Baby Burn.

Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted April 28, 2003 Fuck Big Show, he will never be over because he SUCKS. That's a Dumb Statement and you know it. TBS was OVER until WWE decided to turn him a million times in one year and killed his persona... Maybe partly that, and maybe partly because he ballooned out so much he was immobile and unwatchable. (I realize that isn't all his fault because of his condition, just stating the fact). Remember when Big Show was able to do a kippup? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Sakura Report post Posted April 28, 2003 You don't like Brock/Show III? You have to take it for what it is. Sure it's not going to be Benoit/Angle but it could be decent for a big man match. Think of it this way, at least it puts the hosses together in one match. At least it's a bathroom break. You're just trying to find flaws. At least it saves Benoit's title shot for a bigger ppv. If you don't like it then don't watch. Nobody is forcing you to watch. Did I leave any out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WWE.COM will inform you of any new details when they are available". Why would they release the name of the hospital? Work or not, the WWE always refers to the hospitals the workers go to as "nearby medical facilities". It protects the privacy of the wrestler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sakura Report post Posted April 28, 2003 I think the bottom line is that none of us are wrestling promoters. We may think we are "insiders" but really we're just marks. Yeah, just MARKS. That's all we are. We have no idea what we want to watch. Vince is in the business, he is a genius, he knows what us marks want. And we want hosses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
