Is Batista's injury a cover-up?

This past weekend, some people within World Wrestling Entertainment leaked a story to the internet saying Batista had suffered a biceps tear. Their story was later changed to a torn tendon in his left biceps and that it was not a full fledged muscle tear. The webmaster of his official website, www.Demon-Wrestling.com, soon acknowledged his injury, “confirming†it as a torn tendon.

The webmaster wrote: “We originally thought Dave had a torn muscle (he’s been hurt for around 2-3 weeks), but this has now been confirmed as a torn tendon.â€

However, the official WWE website would say differently.

According to their report concerning Batista’s injury, he suffered a completely torn left biceps requiring surgery that will keep him out of action for at least four months — not a torn tendon.

A full fledged muscle tear is much more serious than a tendon tear, so something’s clearly not adding up. If he did indeed suffer a torn tendon like his official website is saying, the amount of ring time he would miss would be considerably less.

Among some of the wrestlers, there has been plenty of skepticism over the true severity of his injury. The injury supposedly occurred over three weeks ago, but he had been working television, pay-per-views, and live events without any sort of tape on his arm whatsoever, let alone showing any signs of an injury. If the biceps tear was serious, and people within WWE are claiming it was serious enough for him to get surgery two days after his championship victory, it would certainly have been taped up. If the injury was not serious enough to require tape, one would think there would be no need for surgery.

Even partially torn biceps injuries are taped up, but considering WWE is saying he suffered a full fledged muscle tear, it makes the severity of his injury all the more suspicious.

At Monday’s Raw in Lafayette‎ the wrestlers were told his injury was legitimate and he was having surgery the next day. However, the talk among wrestlers in the locker room is that his injury angle on Raw was a cover-up to have him avoid being suspended due to a violation of the company’s drug testing policy.

For what it’s worth, Monday’s show was re-written several times during the day and the creative team was given a list of wrestlers not to use for the foreseeable future prior to show time as a result of drug testing held earlier in the day and at shows over the weekend.

WWE covering up a drug test failure with an injury would certainly be a major change of philosophy on how they handle their drug testing policy, and while things appear fishy, right now there is no concrete evidence indicating that has happened.

If this is more of that overrate-the-injury-so-he-can-make-a-surprise-retun-and-look-like-superman then i'm going to cry. I want Batista as far away from my eyes as possible.

^ Batista sucks

I hope Tista stays far far away from WWE for a while, he's boring, stale, and old.

Batista would be much better if he grew his hair back. >_>

WWE don't want no bad publicity. :shifty:

They said he something about tapig up his injury. The thing wrong with that is that you don't tape up a muscle, you tape hurt joints to give them stability.

I dont think it's a cover up. I think he is injured plain and simple. A lot of ppl dont like Batista he is a big BIG guy so it's easy to shot steroid shit his way. Im not saying he hasn't used and he is whiter that white because i doubt he is. But then again thats pure speculation on my part nothing has been proved as of yet. So until i see proof of this im calling it bullshit. And he is out with an injury.

The "Geniuses" over at WWE could say whatever they want. In a fake business, their report on WWE.com or whatever could be kayfabe, it doesn't have to be exact.

...so, according to the report, WWE would rather lose Batista for four months with an injury angle so that they can cover what would be a month long suspension.

Yeah, sounds real clever.

That's even more of a reason that it could be true. They know that it would be way too obvious if it was just a 1 month or 2 month "injury". With it 4 months it adds believability that it's not a wellness violation. Although he's probably just injured, to the trained eye this raises red flags and is definitely a fishy coincidence to say the least.

It's pretty clever to me. Sure, have Tista mysterious leave for a 30 - 60 days coincidently around the time where it's rumoured that there will suspensions coming up, and that there was a list of names given to not write into stories. Then 30 - 60 days later have Tista return when all the other guys that were suspended returned as well. This way is atually smarter.

I'm not saying I belive this report, it's mere speculation. But I do find it odd that Tista was injured for 3 or so weeks without showing it, WWE knew this, yet they gave him the title anyway only to relinquish it 24hrs later. 48 hrs after the ppv, he undergoes surgery, that's odd in my eyes. Their cage match was oddly short as well especially it being a world title match. Could this be cause of his "injury"? Well if his injury was that bad, why didn't he go out sooner for surgery? I read a report that said they did tes all weekend of the ppv and on Monday night. could this explain Umaga's lost? He failed the test that very night. Another report said the decision to for Punk to cash in his case was made the night of the ppv, could this be because they knew they couldn't continue his program with Umaga cause he was being suspened?

Again, it's more of a conspericy theory to me rather than belief, leading more to the belief side. But this way, they can't say that they've never suspended their top talent when they have. They just didn't annouce it.
