WyattSheepMask Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) Apparently Mahal has been getting tonnes of shit on Twitter for that elbow to Balor. Im sure he didn't do it with any intent to harm, but it's a shit break for Balor if it means he's out for any real stretch of time, and he had a minor concussion a little while back when he worked a house show in Ireland against Sheamus. Of course, Sheamo also a bunch of online hate called a dangerous worker because of the injury he caused. But riddle me this though: Balor gets concussion from a stiff elbow by Mahal - "Mahal is a dangerous worker", but if Mahal gets concussion from a stiff elbow by Balor - "Accidents happen, Balor works a physical style and it is a contact sport" Edited April 12, 2017 by WyattSheepMask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamTH17 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Oh yeah, it always comes down to how favourably the internet looks at a certain worker. I always remember Ryback being lambasted as unsafe as fuck, despite saving Kalisto's life on PPV, whereas you have the incident involving Luke Harper and Daniel Bryan, where Harper just dumps Bryan on his bonce despite Bryan being in his first or second week back. As somebody whom has trained in wrestling for a bit, the phrase "accidents happen" has never been more true. Just really bad timing for Balor is all.

boytoy Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I can't stop watching than Strowman beatdown. What a player. Reigns busted his ass to make Strowman look an absolute beast. Best bits: 'I'm not done with you yet' Fans chanting 'You Deserve It' when Reigns was getting attended to by the EMT's Braun's pop when he gets in the ambulance The elevation on Reigns when he gets launched 10ft across the room through a table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Clint Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Nia comes across as a little clumsy in the ring at times. The way she dropped Charlotte onto her head on Raw this week. She didn't break much of Charlotte's fall outside the ring after her moonsault either.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted April 12, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 12, 2017 That reminds me, why on earth is Charlotte doing that poxy moonsault to the outside on weekly TV? Big PPV matches, fair enough. She'll have no knees by the time she's in her mid-30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are loopholes but how does he convince the WWE doctors that this was prescribed for him? He deserves shit for that forearm though. When the replay looks exactly like a UFC knockout replay, maybe you've used a bit too much force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladiesman345 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Balor looked as if he was hit with an iron after the match. Very clumsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accidents can certainly happen in wrestling but lamping someone full whack into the side of a head with a forearm is really careless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Dammer Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 The Mahal forearm was planned though right? The way the camera was setup and Balor's reaction turning directly to said camera seem very direct to me and if thats the case then i dont see how else he can hit it? Mahal looks like a beast though, his paper thin skin and constantly prominent veins mean hes definitely been on something since 3MB disbanded but its probably something that gets around the wellness scheme rather than your standard steroids.

AndyUK Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Fairly satisfied with the changes. RAW was stuck with the endless Reigns/Rollins/Jericho/Owens matches for months after the original draft and not really having a proper midcard below them, so at least Miz, Ambrose and Wyatt being there along with Strowman, Joe and Balor should fix that a bit. Hopefully Lesnar shows up a bit more often too. That Strowman/Reigns segment was hilarious. Also interesting to see that they're making up for no Lesnar title defence by having the WWE Title headline a RAW PPV. Suppose its a decent enough solution.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could hit it without the force to cause a concussion, like with every other forearm you see in almost every other match. He fucking Ben Thatcher'd him.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted April 12, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 12, 2017 Â Balor's reaction wasn't a worked one, the guy legitimatly face-planted, he had no control over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Dammer Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Yeah to be fair I hadn't seen that, that part of it looks even worse from the replay angle shown on the previous page or two. That angle really shows his head swinging back and forth as well which is usually the part that causes concussions, effectively the brain jarring into the sides of the skull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the camera came back to Reigns being treated, it'd been brought forward about 3 feet. And turned around to face the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
