Crazy how close WWE was to experiencing their ultimate nightmare, someone dying in their ring again.

Joe's finisher has been downgraded now from Pumphandle Slam to "punch".

Let's hope Joe has a good run then otherwise all we will remember of him in WWE is a Indy darlings walking Big Mac who almost killed a wrestler and had terrible funk music.

The two points I keep coming to in my head are:
1) Jesse Sorensen, who had such a bad neck even TNA wouldn't clear him to wrestle
2) Gabby Gifford's, who proved that "I nearly died" doesn't mean "I have to retire"

I hope this doesn't stop the Muscle Buster because that is Joe's entire identity really, without that he has his Clutch Sleeper but in all honesty it takes away a huge spot and spectacle from his offense Again, Joe has done this move millions of times, hell, Cody Rhodes did it for a bit too... something just went terribly wrong here... Whether or not they maintain the Muscle Buster (which, to be honest, I wouldn't miss it that much), the bolded sentence, I just can't. Joe is a spectacular performer - that one move doesn't define him; it's the other way around. Hell, he's the "Samoan Submission Machine," I doubt he'd be hurt at all with a more submission/strike based offense. Further, I seriously doubt losing the Muscle Buster would be any more of a "death blow" for Samoa Joe than giving up the Cattle Mutilation and the Pepsi Plunge were for Daniel Bryan and CM Punk respectively. The two points I keep coming to in my head are: 1) Jesse Sorensen, who had such a bad neck even TNA wouldn't clear him to wrestle 2) Gabby Gifford's, who proved that "I nearly died" doesn't mean "I have to retire" True. Same with Senator Byrd after he'd been all but killed by a stroke and Roger Ebert who lost his jaw and much of his neck to cancer. That said, three of the people on this list don't have to get dropped on their heads for 300 days a year. Even with an abbreviated schedule, all it'd take is one time, and he'd be risking paralysis... or worse. I love Tyson Kidd as a performer, and it kills me that he didn't get the push he deserved, but if I had his ear, I'd be BEGGING him to call it quits before his spine does it for him.

He's not healthy enough for the company that employs Kurt Angle, but ROH will put him out there?

I hope he's finished. Wrestling is amazing but it's not worth his life.

That was extremely close to being a total catastrophe. We could have had another Droz incident, but worse
