Raw Live Raw discussion thread, January 1st 2024: Day 1 - Seth Rollins defends the WWE World Heavyweight title

I didn’t even see the Vinci injury happen at first so I was confused when the bell rang. There were people around my section that were chanting “bullshit” because we didn’t even get to see Jey wrestle, but then chilled out once they realized a man was legitimately hurt.

The ending came off really weird on TV aswell because of the way they operate the cameras to not show the injury obviously. For a second it looked like it was about to continue because Kaiser tagged Vinci but then the bell rung. Safety first though, it's all that matters.

Idk why they didn’t just continue the match with Kaiser alone

Because someone’s well being is more important than a match.

 

[Sabretooth]

Because someone’s well being is more important than a match.

So if they took Vicci out of the match how does that affect anyone else’s well being

 

[Dale]

I mean I don't know the protocols for concussion and stuff but you probably don't want to be moving the guy until you've gone over shit and given he was still in the ring when they called it off, working around him would have been dangerous and disrespectful af.

It’s best to just end things at that point man. I’m sure Kaiser wants to check on his friend.

 

[Comrade Khan]

Is Sabs arguing they should have not stopped the match?

Yeah.

 

[Sabretooth]

Yes

How about prioritising the well being of an injured dude instead of worrying about a throwaway tag match on Raw.

 

[Comrade Khan]

Yes

your lack of intelligence never ceases to amaze me

Gonna throw out a hypothetical. What if, main event of WrestleMania, one of the wrestlers gets a concussion 2 minutes in and they have to abruptly stop the match

 

[Dale]

Concussions are concussions, i'm 99% sure they're pulling the match especially in this day and age. Now if you're talking a tag team match on the other hand, I think they try and get said person out of the ring and continue the match while they evaluate them.

 

[Dale]

Actually 99% sounds a little too high, but i'm still standing on the rest

Happened to Taker at Mania 30. Wasn’t the Main Event but he got his bell ring maybe 5 minutes into a 30 minute match. They kept going
