On TMZ, they have a video someone posted to Twitter (posting the TMZ link so I don't have to spoiler the Twitter message). www.tmz.com/2022/01/06/aew-star-rey-fenix-suffers-gruesome-arm-injury-mid-match-rushed-hospital/I'm no doctor, but at least from that angle, while still gruesome, it does just look like a dislocation. In otherwords, it didn't liik like his forearm or humerus bone snapped. It looked like all of teh deformation was in teh joint itself. Now, I'd imagien if that is the case, there is still ligament and tendon damage just due to the torque of the injury.

Nothing funny about it at all, in fact.

Now, I'd imagien if that is the case, there is still ligament and tendon damage just due to the torque of the injury. If so, yeah, it'd be really bad, but thankfully very recoverable. Reminds me of Eddie Guerrero dislocating his elbow in what was also really gruesome the first time he hit a frog splash in WWF, like right off the bat, which is why the Radicalz got derailed right off the bat when they were supposed to be an invasion of sorts. He was able to recover in a matter of weeks. I do not know if Fenix could similarly be fortunate, but if it's a dislocation, it's perhaps not as dire as feared.

Remains to be seen if there's ligament damage really, could still be very bad, though at least it's not a break.

Good that there's no break or surgery needed. Though does the "no surgery" just mean in fear of a compound fracture or because there wasn't any structural damage to the muscles or ligaments either?

Is Fenix a real-life Wolverine?

Thank god Fenix let Penta practice his arm breaker on him all those years growing up. Really prepared him for this moment.

That's still not gonna be a quick recovery though. That'll be a "congratulations, you tore EVERYTHING" injury

Scientists need to study what Fenix is made out of? You know, for the betterment of all mankind.

Even then, if he blew out every ligament, I feel like it's "better" than if he had snapped the bones like it was feared could have happened.

Aren't some tendon/ligament issues pretty gnarly to deal with? I mean I know if you asked me if I'd rather tear a ligament or break a bone I'd say tear a ligament but that's mainly because "break a bone" sounds a lot scarier and not based on personal experience.

I mean I know if you asked me if I'd rather tear a ligament or break a bone I'd say tear a ligament but that's mainly because "break a bone" sounds a lot scarier and not based on personal experience. Well, tendons/ligaments may be worse than your usual broken bone, but for the break Fenix would have had if what we had seen was a break, you'd be talking about rods and pins, possible bone fragments, maybe an external fixator if the break is severe enough. So, in my opinion, tendon/ligament damage, even a total blow out, is better than that kind of a break. From my own experience, I broke my leg some 25 years ago, and dislocated my ankle. Now, while my fracture did require a small plate and 4 screws, it really wasn't that major of a fracture. The big issue was the tendons I tore. That kept me on crutches for 12 weeks instead of 6. I actually wonder if they would have put in a plate if they weren't already going in to fix the tendons (I didn't think to ask about that at the time). But I then look at what happened to Alex Smith, where the break was much more severe and the complications he had were MUCH more serious. He is an extreme case, but even without the complications he had, I would MUCH rather have had my leg injury with tendon than what he had (compound fracture, spiral fractures). But again, that is all my opinion based on no medical training.
