That sucks. Hopefully not to serious.

is it the same knee he had surgery on?

I believe so, I think michael cole mentioned that.

Same fucking moonsault that did it last time too aswell

 

[Y2Jayne]

Awful shit.
Well it's a good thing he's in a stable now, he can still manage them before he's healed.

Probably best to retire the move.

Wonder what they do with the briefcase now? I guess they could keep it on Seth while he's off TV and get that massive pop when he cashes in on his return. Could they pass the case over to Bron like they seem to do with a tag title? Maybe even strip the briefcase and run another MITB match at SummerSlam??

 

[O-Blaze]

Hopefully they know how long he will be out for soon. If he's back within the time limit, keep it on him. Let me just return one show with it and cash in.

I'll even go as far aa saying have a few moments sprinkled in where the champion seems vulnerable just to make you think.

different move.

Last ACL tear was in a match against Kane on a European tour when he did a sunset flip powerbomb spot, landed on his feet and fucked the knee.

Pretty sure he fucked it up in that match with...Jinder where he did the moonsault but actually landed it?

Oh you're not talking about the major ACL tear while he was champ in the Authority days but the not as bad one that a few years later.

My bad. That one's on me.

Seth on the Rich Eisen show today:

“I was in a match with LA Knight and I hurt my knee. I was doing a move I do all the time, a moonsault, and I landed on my feet. When I landed, I felt my knee kind of pop and buckle. We got out of the match and move forward. Monday, I was in Birmingham, Alabama, where our specialist is. We tried to take a look at the knee. There was some imaging; it was a little too swollen, so we’re going to take another look, hopefully in a week or two here in LA. Try to get some sort of firm diagnosis and we can go from there. I am not a doctor, I only know my body and what I feel. What I feel is that this is going to be me out for an extended period of time. This isn’t the first time I’ve been injured, it won’t be the last time. I’ve always got WrestleMania in the back of my mind. Can I make it back for WrestleMania season? I feel good about that. Beyond a firm timeline, I just won’t know until we receive a clearer answer from the MRI. That’s where it’s at."

The first time I saw Seth work was back in 2008 for Ring Of Honor when he challenged Nigel for the title. He's been wrestling pretty much the same style this whole time with some minor changes. That's a hell of a style to wrestle for that long without a career-ending injury. He's had some close calls along the way. I think after this one, it's time to slow it down and change the style a bit before anything too serious happens.

The guy has all the talent in the world. Stevie Richards recently said about Kenny Omega, when he's slower than everyone else he'll still be better than everyone else. The same can be said here. And besides that, in my opinion, time away for Seth could be a good thing. I'm ready to see a character change. He's basically a modern day Randy Savage in gimmick, and I don't think that's really a good thing. The outfits, the laughing, the unseriousness, the song, I hope all of it changes. I could be in the minority, but I preferred a straight-ahead, competitive, "best bout machine" type of Seth Rollins from 2018-2019.
