Update On Wade Barrett Injury

[Heisenberg]

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Wade Barrett is believed to have suffered a dislocated elbow. Barrett was taken to a Minneapolis hospital after the RAW main event.

Confirmed: How Much Ring Time Wade Barrett Will Miss
The following has been posted over at WWE.com:

WWE.com has learned that during Raw SuperShow's 10-Man Battle Royal, Wade Barrett suffered a partial dislocation of his left elbow Monday night. Barrett will undergo an MRI for further evaluation in the coming days and will be out of action for at least 6 to 8 weeks.

The injury occurred following Barrett and R-Truth's elimination from the contest. As Truth and Barrett recovered from their eliminations on the outside, Big Show tossed Dolph Ziggler on top of them from the ring. The three Superstars were knocked backwards and Barrett landed awkwardly on his arm.

Looked broken to me, but a dislocated elbow is bad enough. Hope his recovery goes well and such a shame he'll miss Mania.

Get well soon Wade.

Get well soon Wade.

Does he visit this forum?

COOOOOL.

 

[John McHenry]

You know they all visit these forums. Hell I swear Matt Hardy directly ripped story I wrote in an efed.

I just KNEW he was going to get injured with all the injuries SmackDown has had lately. Just fucking great. That's the last straw to get me to stop watching SmackDown for the forseeable future.

He's def out for Wrestlemania then.. Can't say I'm really disappointed though..

Damn! This sucks. Smackdown has just gotten a huge blow... With all their injuries who the hell will be pushed now? Tyson Kidd? (I FUCKING WISH).

8-12 weeks he is expected to be out for

 

[John McHenry]

Not sure what he would have been doing though. Wonder if you can track all these injuries. While I really dont think Big Show is the cause, Randy Orton - Mark Henry - Wade Barrett, he is a common factor with the guys getting injured. Coincidence or Conspiracy?!?

I'd love to see WWE stick Barrett on commentary until he's good to go again, like they did with Punk. I think Barrett has commentary experience in FCW anyway.

 

[Andrew]

Wasn't it just a few years ago where Smackdown World Heavyweight Champions would get injured once holding the belt? Now it's those who are away from the title picture. Quite sad really...

I say PUSH TYSON KIDD!

Didn't punk only do like a match or two?

 

[PY.]

I thought Punk did a few shows.?

Make more sense if Orton didn't originally get hurt and need to miss time after a series of house show street fights with Wade. Henry was also working a cage match with a guy named Daniel Bryan when he first got hurt on SD. Show's commonality is that he has worked with them all but is the iron man of the group, and I probably just jinxed the fuck out of him.

Poor guy, you really have to feel for him whether you like him or not. We're 6 weeks away from Wrestlemania, the pay-per-view all WWE superstars aspire to wrestle on, but now it sounds as if he won't make it.

I really hope he's involved in some way. I haven't seen Raw yet, but I wouldn't mind him joining Mark Henry, Christian and Alberto Del Rio in a non-wrestling capacity (even if he isn't a former World Champion) and support Laurianitis over Teddy Long. I get that it doesn't make a whole lot of sense other than the fact he's a heel, but idk, just throwing something out there, because really what else can he do?
