Yeah, what a jerk. Not wrestling injured for my amusement. Wrestling fans are too rough on people. Just because Mick Foley wrestled with a tooth in his nose doesn't mean he should have. Well they may as well quit wrestling then, because almost every single one of these guys wrestles injured. It's impossible to prevent it no matter how much it's choreographed. If we're going to stop a match over a broken freakin' finger, then we're going to get a shitload of matches end in similar manners. I guess the idea of wrestling is to hurt your opponent...but not too much. They're only trying to cause ouchies and boo boos, whereas anything kaput or oogie is still prevented. You know it's not real right? Or are you being so sarcastic I don't get it? Wrestling hurt is one thing, but with a broken bone is another.

Or are we supposed to break kayfabe every dozen or so matches when someone tears a muscle or sprains something. Because that's what it'll be like if we stop matches for every little thing. Yes...if you can't finish a match with a broke finger, then there's something wrong. A broken finger isn't going to impair his quality of life. I've suffered worse for less.

I don't think someone gets injured that often. If the guy doesn't feel like performing a job where he uses his hands a lot with a broken finger I think it's fair. And who's to say he couldn't damage it to the point where he could do further damamge? Glad you've worked through worse but doesn't mean guys on TV have to suffer through. I just think it's a bad attitude to have to expect them to "man up". That attitude is stopping Mic Foley and CM Punk from having working knees.

Not really a spoiler, but he competed in a dark match last night.

I just think it's a bad attitude to have to expect them to "man up". That attitude is stopping Mic Foley and CM Punk from having working knees. Look, I understand where you're coming from. If it was a knee, a shoulder, a concussion...anything like that, I'm completely with you. I don't want any wrestler have their career cut short because they didn't stop. And you're right, it's completely up to the wrestler if they want to continue or stop. But if I was in Sin Cara's position? Where I'm already looked at as fragile and losing my stock, I would certainly take my chances. A finger, mind you a ring finger that was dislocated (and yes it does hurt a lot) isn't going to stop you from finishing a 8 minute match and it isn't a medical priority. I look to wrestlers as the best choreographed fighters in the world and I completely trust that both of these guys could have found a way to finish the match where it doesn't hinder and more damage to Sin Cara's finger. I like Sin Cara. I think he has a lot of potential. But he can't walk away from any opportunity over the simplest injuries.

But considering his reputation, sticking it out may have been a good career move. Maybe he figured at this point his fate is sealed so why risk it.
