I like your scenario of coming back at the Rumble, building up to something at Wrestlemania though.
Cause he was hurt by not bumping properly on the move and bumping is on the part of the wrestler receiving it. Admittedly, you're dealing with
the physics of flying through the air and it's naturally unpredictable, but he's at least as responsible for it as Seth (which is to say,
not that much because accidents happen). The move is obviously a high risk one, though, given the propensity of injuries from it and maybe it is time
to set it aside for now or at least only use it on bigger guys who seem able to take the punishment (Roman, for example, has taken a LOT of buckle
bombs and seems okay).

Please note that:
1) I wasn't blaming Rollins for it at all
2) I'm a Balor mark
3) I don't think he's got an "Injury History Problem" at all, and routinely does moves that could easily be described as
'risky'!

It's not bullshit at all. It's old school tradition. Back in the days of the territories, it was common for anyone leaving a
territory to end up on their back on the way out. If the Dudley's are as old school as I think they are, the way they went out is the way they
wanted it.

* So everyone bitching about Lesnar and Rollins legit hurts somebody again? Whoops.
* Kinda fitting that the title everyone shits on gets shit right out of the gate with an immediate forfeiture.
* So we're basically going to restart the whole process of a few weeks ago over again?
* Game changer, Cole? More like boo changer. Loudest boos of this parade for Roman.
* If they're booking injuries into Rollins matches now, that's a great piece of storytelling.
* So the guy who didn't come out at the start is facing a guy who did. Gee, I wonder if Kevin Owens will win? How sloppy is that, WWE? We all
know Jericho isn't going to win the title, but you brought him out... why couldn't you bring Neville out, too?
* Neville can do a Phoenix Splash from the MIDDLE rope? That's sick.
* Neville can do like 5 moves that would be finishers for other wrestlers. Why doesn't this guy get more run?
* The Booty-O's Slogan still makes me laugh.
* Booty chatter?
* Titus O'Neill has been given a shit promo and is executing it less than stellarly. I feel for you, buddy.
* So another "indefinite" suspension for Brock Lesnar? Way to be forthcoming, Steph. WTF was the point of that segment?
* Whoops! Someone pushed the button early on Rusev's intro. Sloppy night all the way around. Is the production team burned out?
* Rusev, another guy who wasn't brought out earlier. Gee, wonder if he'll win when 2 heels have already advanced?
* I wish Enzo or Cass had seen that dude in the front row right behind them with the "SAWFT" sign and pointed to it as they spelled it out .
* Gee, I wonder if it'll be Jericho or Reigns in the finale?
* KO stole the pocket square. JeriKO is awesome.
* Charlotte stumbled a little like Titus did but covered it up better.
* Holy shit that's a big Hugger Section.
* Be funny if anyone in the ring told Dana, "That's how you do the chant."
* Wow, Bayley has quite the social media following.
* I like Bayley, and I like the idea of they Bayley-to-belly, but she's gotta do something extra with it to make it a convincing finisher. Make
it a 3 Amigos, or perch the opponent in the corner, or maybe use it as a setup move for, and I really did just think of this, a Bayley Flop! Ultimate
Warrior Splash off the ropes! Which would be perfect for her character!
* Did that dude really just say he likes big sweaty men on national TV? Boy, when he sees his buddies at work tomorrow...
* HA! That was great!!!!! When Strowman demanded a second count the ref pointed out that a shoulder was up and waited for it to come down before he
started the count. Give that man a raise! New Awesome Ref!
* Y'know, I don't think Bubba Ray will ever be able to be far from WWE. He's too good at what he does to not be a top road agent.
I mean, you can tell how Kevin Owens modeled himself after Bubba.
* Primo and Epico have found their characters here. "I'm sorry for whoever has to sit next to your sorry asses?" That was fantastic! Oh,
and they pass the torch in spectacular fashion. Well done, G&A.;
* Oh, like there's any drama here for Vince's favorite pet. Despite the feverish Y2J chants.
* Geez, nobody except Byron Saxton wants Roman Reigns to win this.
* Literally, they go to the wide shot to see the fans cheering and I saw like 4 people clapping. Unreal they keep giving this guy shot after shot as
a face even though no one wants him to win. Because REACTION!!!!
Regarding the Balor injury, fault is on everyone. A barricade bomb is a stupid unsafe idea to begin with, so whoever booked it is a moron. Rollins
released Balor too soon, so Balor had to extend his arm to reach the barricade to cover it up which is how he got hurt, and too far to the left, so
Balor hit the curved part of the barricade, not the straight part where the move could've been more easily absorbed. Balor tried to, but did
not make a good adjustment mid-air, although he's least culpable here with only a split-second to react. Unfortunate move and should be banned
now from future use, especially with a guy like Rollins who's too small to be using a power move like that anyway.
I do NOT love RKO, you sarcastic bastards.

I'm seriously not sure how getting injured during his very first title match is a good thing for Finn Balor or makes him "mythic." Mythically
unlucky, maybe. Like, WWE is super awesome about trusting upcoming talents who appear to be made out of glass. See Zane, Sami or Barret, Wade.
I'm speakly strictly from a kayfabe sense. He beat the top face and the top heel of his brand in a span of a month and then forfeited the Title.
He has to come back as the biggest badass on RAW with the exception of maybe Lesnar.
EDIT:2014 Bryan gives up the belt due to injury, 2015 it's Rollins, now it's Balor. I think the high workrate, high impact style
isn't gelling well with the WWE schedule.

Hey Lord and Master Rick maybe you could post a brief summary review and grade in these these threads if you don't want to be doing your full
Recaps anymore...?
Feeling a bit burnt out by WWE too. An average show though highlighted by a great crowd, Zayns selling of his ankle 'injury' and how it
logically led to the finish of his match, a super over Bayley and of course by JerriKO who are just awesome in every segment they're in. Also,
all the best Dudley's!
Face Reigns is soooooooo boring. I wish the guys that boo him would just remain silent as loud booing isn't going to get the fed to change
things up obviously (see: Cena)
Also with ending Stings career, obliterating Cenas' nasal cavity and now putting Balor on the shelf for 6 months I think Brett was right re
Rollins. Sadly.
