Henry injured AGAIN?!?!?!?!! (SPOILERS)

[Big Daddy Bad Booking]

From LOP:

After dropping the World Heavyweight title months earlier than expected at WWE's December TLC due to a groin injury, Henry was injured once again at Tuesday's WWE SmackDown tapings from Tuscon, AZ.

Mark Henry is believed to have suffered a hyper-extended knee during his match with the Big Show, which will air tonight on SyFy. Henry, who has dealt with knee problems in the past, threw a punch without properly planting his foot.

An reader who watched the Australian broadcast of SmackDown (which airs a day earlier down under) said it was clear that something went very wrong after Henry collapsed "like he had been shot in the thigh" and immediately exited the ring in pain. They immediately cut to commercial and the match eventually ended in a count out.

According to a script of SmackDown that has been circulating online this week, the original plan was for Daniel Bryan to attack Big Show with a chair. Show was supposed to make a comeback, chokeslam Bryan and leave him laid out. The show would then end with Henry delivering a big splash to Bryan, closing scene being Bryan destroyed in the ring.

Hmmm, sounds bad!

Okay, I love Mark Henry as a heel, but I think it's time for him to finally retire. The guy just keeps racking up injuries at this point. It makes it very hard for the WWE to give the guy a push when they have no idea if he's going to keep being plagued by them. He was talking about doing so anyway awhile back so perhaps this year is the perfect time for him to do so.

"Henry collapsed "like he had been shot in the thigh" and immediately exited the ring in pain"

He took an arrow to the knee

At this rate, Bryan will just be standing in the ring talking about how he appreciates the fans.

Mark Henry hasn't really been injured except for these two since 2007.

Dude just has no luck. He's doing the best work of his career and he keeps getting shot in the foot.

To be fair, this is probably an extension of his groin injury which by some accounts he should have had surgery for. If he didn't have the groin injury, he probably wouldn't have screwed this up and hurt himself.

Yeah. Henry isn't making it and I believe Show's still injured. I wouldn't be all that shocked if Bryan ended up facing a "mystery opponent" at the Rumble, when it's all said and done.

As for Henry, yeah he hasn't had too many injuries, but he's also been in the WWE for nearly twenty years. Like Jericho, even if you aren't getting surgery every other year, that has to wear on you big time.

At Mark's age, the injuries will pile up like corn-wood (or whatever that term is). That and his massive frame will just collapse onto itself. I seriously hope Mark can wrap it up before its too late. At least he'll leave us with the talent he had that should have been shown at the offset.

I think its time the dude lost some weight and mass.

Just end the brand extension. Have one World title to rule them all. One show having trouble time and time again, it's just ridiculous. They have more than enough guys who could feud with the champion, even if they made that person champ for 2 years.

[Wolf Hurricane]

BDBB: The word you're looking for is cord-wood.

[Andrew is Good]

I'm wondering if the injury was made worse by working with the previous injury.

I'm guessing it will be Show vs Bryan in the cage then at the Royal Rumble.

This. This so much.

Thats a shame. Henry has really been doing his best work as of late. But yeah, if he seems to be becoming more injury-prone, its time to either slow things down or just step aside altogether.

If you're talking about Henry's movements in the ring, I don't think they can get any slower than they already are. And if you're talking about how much work they're giving him, then they've already lightened his load quite a bit since the groin injury. Any more than this and they might as well just write him off TV for a while.

But how great would it be if Teddy announced he had found a replacement, the cage slams in place and...

GO!

[That Mickie Fan]

Not Surprised.

As much as I hate the idea of people being injured, I support this idea.

I would forgive Teddy for making Christian fight Orton for the belt.

HE JUST COMPETED IN A LADDER MATCH TEDDY! HE WAS HURTING!
