STOP DOING HEROIN

quote:

Randy Orton has undergone successful surgery to repair a medial meniscus tear in his left knee, WWE.com can confirm.

“I’ve known I needed the surgery since late last year, but I’ve been waiting for the right time to get my knee cleaned out,” Orton told WWE.com. “Right now was the right time.”

The Viper is currently recovering at home with his family, but says he is “staying motivated to come back and dominate the blue brand.”

He might as well, they really aren’t doing anything with him and AJ and Bryan are completely overshadowing him on the face side.

Hell he’s even fourth wheel after Jeff.

Depending on the severity of the tear, it's usually better to get surgery on it once you progress to the point to where it affects your knee stability or becomes painful. I have a minor medial meniscus tear from my early 20s that partially healed so I've run marathons and regularly do heavy squats and I havent had any issues with stability.

I have a buddy who had a moderate tear and procrastinated way too long on surgery. It ended up getting to the point where the cartilage flap was so torn it would get stuck in the knee joint and caused intense pain (even then he waited like another year or two to finally get it cleaned up). Problem is once it gets that bad they have to remove a larger portion of the cartilage than they would have had to if he got the surgery earlier. Now he can't run and is probably going to need a knee replacement in 10-20 years.

Moral of the story: don't gently caress around and wait for knee surgery unless it's a very minor injury. You will greatly regret it!

There's a tweet like that every other day. Who's this segment of fans that keeps nagging people going "LET ME GIVE YOU CAREER ADVICE STRANGER. YOU SHOULD BE MAD ABOUT YOUR PUSH, YOU SHOULD QUIT"? Is reddit not enough of an audience for you so you gotta gently caress with the people directly?

I mean do they also tweet like walking dead cast members saying they should demand more screen time?

Sometimes I think WWE should add a transitional brand between NXT and RAW/Smackdown, you know for the guys who shouldn't be in developmental, but would get lost in the main roster shuffle. Alternate it with NXT tapings at Full Sail, or find another college who'd want the work.

The name of their team is Fashion Patrol? I've been saying Fashion Police this whole time...

As far as "demotions" go, I feel the only person who was TRULY demoted to NXT was Zack Ryder.

Ryder's efforts, bare minimum, at least convinced someone to let him have a real Wrestlemania moment in Dallas....i think? I might have the timeline wrong there.

quote:

While discussing lackluster angles during today’s installment of PWInsider Elite Audio, Mike Johnson indicated that the reason the company doesn’t really put much effort into showcasing the tag-team division is because the general feeling is that there is no money to be made.

“I think they have decided that nobody involved in the tag division is worth their time and they’re not going to invest into it because they don’t think it makes them any money. And That’s that.”

This would explain how a certain team could be hot one week and then cold the next. Often times WWE starts to push certain teams only to have the storyline or angle lead to no real payoff. If you look at the tag team division right now, there really isn’t anything actually going on storyline wise and no teams really been “red hot” on television.

I mean Vince has always thought tag teams didn't make money and has always broken them up in the end so this isn't shocking even if the Uso's and New Day did a good job holding down Smackdown last year
