I can't think of a run where the company was so besieged by injuries. This sucks And we thought it was bad with the infamous Elevated Liver Enzymes scare, this is just madness

I am guessing that is on Bryan and as long as they have concussion suits ongoing, including one IN Dallas, I don't see that as a possibility. Who is out there for WWE to throw a dump truck of cash at for Mania? And don't give me the "Use the guys you got" excuse, this is WrestleMania at AT&T Stadium, 100k people, they need a draw and Mania has always been about the outrageous and celebrity. Punk, UFC deal so a no go. Jeff Hardy, injured and TNA. Hogan, old, broken and racist. Austin? He's been saying no but in this case? He'd have 3 months to get in shape. HBK? Said that if an emergency he'd be back but that was years ago. Is Batista a possibility? Him vs. Brock might have some potential. Not sure. Be a neat one and it was something talked about for Cali. before Batista got fed up and left after 30.

Him vs Brock for the title is the biggest thing I can think of but not what I personally want to see.

I feel terrible for John.
I think in this case, you need to promote Balor, Corbin and Joe and rely on Nakamura and AJ Styles. Might have to clear Bryan and maybe even make a phone call to this guy in Chicago and see if anything can be worked out.

Literally the only options they have left now are Bryan, Joe, Balor, and maybe AJ. This is going to be 3 months of complete chaos.

We all knew this day would happen. When a good chunk of their main eventers would be hurt to the point that the underdeveloped midcard would have to pick up the pieces.
This could easily be a disaster for WWE especially so close to WrestleMania. Sure they can throw out the cheque book for Brock, Rock, Taker, Goldberg etc. and drum up the mainstream interest that way, but how the hell do you keep the casual viewer interested in your product with hardly any of your full time main draws?
And in doing so, it exacerbates the part timer agenda that WWE's been pushing since Rock first came back in 2011. Now I'll be the first to admit that anytime Rock, Brock, Jericho, Taker, HHH and Sting get in the ring, I enjoy it. Because you never know if it'll be their last time in a wrestling match. But these guys are getting older and older and in the case of Taker and Sting are broken down themselves. There's only so long you can keep dragging them out.
With the likes of Cena and Orton out, a midcard that's been ignored for years, Big Show and Kane reduced to groaning albatrosses on the product (and they're not Spring chickens either mind you) and barring Vince pulling the trigger on a Daniel Bryan comeback, this is truly the time for the likes of Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Kevin Owens, Bray Wyatt and maybe a few NXT call ups like Sami Zayn and/or Finn Balor to be given the chance to show Vince that they can keep this company going for the next decade. And none of this 'one guy or nothing' mentality because as you can see, it's starting to bite them on the ass now.
Come on WWE, show the world you've still got balls the size of grapefruits.

Who is out there for WWE to throw a dump truck of cash at for Mania? And don't give me the "Use the guys you got" excuse, this is WrestleMania at AT&T Stadium, 100k people, they need a draw and Mania has always been about the outrageous and celebrity. Punk, UFC deal so a no go. Jeff Hardy, injured and TNA. Hogan, old, broken and racist. Austin? He's been saying no but in this case? He'd have 3 months to get in shape. HBK? Said that if an emergency he'd be back but that was years ago. Bring the dump truck up of money to The Rock as a surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble. Him vs Brock for the title is the biggest thing I can think of but not what I personally want to see. Thing is with the Rock is you have to pay the high insurance to the Movie Studios

They want to do the match too but I'd think they would have Rock get his win back. Not sure they could do that in this situation unless they did a shock title change on RAW. I actually, I like that idea.
