No, he wouldn't. He would say something along the lines "Personally, the likelihood that any connection to the tragedy that befell Perro Aguayo Jr. being used as a form of mockery is most skeptical, indeed". "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go ignore my wife some more." Yeah Reed Richards is a douche

Right up there with having Mohammed Hassan do the "terrorist attack" bit a few days after the real thing. Not any malice by WWE, just some bad timing. Archer.jpeg It was filmed two days before, but shown after.

When Cole comes back it is REQUIRED for Booker to ask him how the Anal Bleeding is doing.
REQUIRED

You know, last night when I saw the mention of Cole's "cervical injury" on Twitter, it looked familiar and I couldn't quite put my finger on where I had seen that most recently. I put my finger on it just before I found this thread. Holy shit. God WWE, Cole suffering from anal bleeding just waiting right there to be used, and you completely blew it. Someone updated Wikipedia last night announcing his death by anal bleeding. Kayfabe News posted it on Twitter, and someone posted it in the WWE Pics thread here. ........the subject of this thread LITERALLY kills the enjoyment of that fun wacky hoax. We don't need to tell you to never change, WWE, BECAUSE YOU WON'T.

I think the reactions in this thread are overblown. Its the medical nomenclature for a broken neck. I highly doubt that the majority of people reading this in a kayfabe sense will correlate that with Aguayo since the majority of people will have no idea who he even was. I can understand giving them grief over other things they've done, but this is a little bit nitpicky overkill. An F5 could break a neck and they regularly use medical terminology in this type of things. Aguayo's death made national (hell, international) headlines, with news outlets making (eronious) connections to Rey as a "WWE wrestler". The news outlets already connected Aguayo's death by broken neck to WWE, so within, what, two weeks, WWE has someone suffer the exact same injury in kayfabe? As has been said, there could be any number of ways to phrase Cole's kayfabe injuries, but going with the specific terminology on air that mirrors Aguayo's cause of death is just idiotic.

^^ 10 days.
Aguayo died 10 days ago, at (literally) the feet of a man who had been under WWE contract for the last 13 years.
For people to use defense that the WWE probably wasn't thinking of it..........well, I find that entirely possible. They probably weren't.
But that's not a defense; that's evidence of callous stupidity and incompetence.

Poor Michael Cole, fracturing his cervix. I had to Google what a cervical fracture was when they said it on the air, I thought they were saying Cole broke his vagina. WWE always blows injuries out of proportion. I forget who it was a couple years ago but they announced somebody suffered a BROKEN BACK! then the next week said it was a sprain or something.

I wonder if the doctor will give him a Z-Pak as he tells Cole to go back to work for Smackdown.

Like 2% of audience would equate the two, if that.

I will give them the benefit of the doubt and say this was an unfortunate coincidence.
(That said, if you're bringing Lawler out there, anal bleeding is obviously the way to go.)

Alright guys, I just dug into my own pocket and ordered five truckloads of "Chill." It'll be here in a few hours, as long as you guys don't burn this place down with the sheer force of your faux outrage.

It'll be here in a few hours, as long as you guys don't burn this place down with the sheer force of your faux outrage. You might want to learn what terms mean before you use them in conversation, especially when using them while being sarcastic Hawk. Faux outrage implies that we're only pretending to be bothered by it... that we're speaking out against it in jest or because we have some other sort of agenda. In other words, that we don't care and we're putting up a front. That doesn't really fit this situation at all. In fact it's downright insulting. How about saying that "it doesn't bother me" rather than putting down those who it does bother? The people bothered by it aren't attacking those who aren't, only the WWE for doing it. There's no reason for those who don't give a shit about it to attack those who do.

I love how when WWE.com posts something interesting, it's "not canon" because it's just one guy coming up with it and the WWE doesn't deserve credit for it. But when WWE.com posts something the board doesn't like, it must have come from the very top.
"possible Cervical fracture" is a broad way of saying possible neck injury. Aguayo Jr. ultimately died more specifically of cardiac arrest due to a cervical stroke caused by the fracture of his C1, C2, and C3 vertebrae. The latter of is a particularly deadly way to have to a "cervical fracture", but I don't think that's what they're saying happened to Cole. (you can have a lower cervical fracture that won't cause immediate death, and saying that such an injury is "possible" really just means that they're concerned about a neck injury and are taking precautions - like stabilizing him and taking him out on a stretcher, which I don't recall anybody complaining about. That's why they did that in kayfabe, concern for a potential neck injury)
I think some posters here are using the Aguayo Jr. tragedy to further their weird rage-hate for the WWE, which is more offensive than what they're accusing the WWE of doing here.

The only way I can feel offended by this is if the WWE scripted the Cole injury just to make a reference to that specific injury.
I just think at worst it was some carelessness but nothing for me to get to angry about.

Other than "anal bleeding", its the only time I've not heard the words "Severe head and neck trauma" used in an injury angle.
Consequently I'm more amazed than outraged.

I didn't attack anyone, I said people need to chill and you proved my point. Reactions like this are why I stopped posting for over a month and why countless others have flat out left the board.

What does WWE.com have to do with this though? They said this on Raw. I can't speak for others but I'm not speaking out about this because I have rage-hate for WWE. I don't hate WWE. I just thought it was in bad taste to have a fake injury that was so similar to a real injury that caused the death of a wrestler a week and a half later. I can see why others aren't bothered as much by it, but I'm not attacking them. The reverse doesn't seem to be true. It's weird because I'm not bothered by a hell of a lot when it comes to people pushing the envelope and doing things things in bad taste. I thrive in irreverence. Hell, I'm usually on the other side of this argument defending the rights of whomever to do or say something that others view in poor taste... this "injury report" however was just plain stupid and wholly unnecessary. It served no purpose at all. Again though, if you disagree and were fine with it, be fine with it, don't piss all over the people that it bothered. That's just not cool.

I'm actually not un-chill. I'm just wondering why the hostility. You did attack people saying they were showing "faux outrage". Again, look into what that actually means and you'll get why it's insulting to accuse people of it. Perhaps "unnecessary outrage" was what you were trying to think of, but "faux outrage" is insulting.
