If you want some sad news, here it is. WWE Superstar, Randy Orton, was seriously injured from last night’s WWE “Over the Limit” ppv. I didn’t watch it, by the way. It was Randy Orton vs. Edge in a single’s match. The match was cut short (it wasn’t in the script), after the referee noticing that Randy was wincing in pain. It was then discovered that Randy dislocated one of his shoulders.

You ask, how can wrestlers get injured when wrestling is fake? Yes, wrestling is fake…but not all of it. Wrestlers can get injured for real, but by accident. Anybody can get injured on all jobs, it’s the same with wrestling. Keep in mind that these wrestlers doing a lot of physical things, and even if you do a fake move…you could get a bad muscle strain or a pull or a superstar can get something worse. Randy Orton has a history with shoulder problems and if his shoulder keeps getting worse, his professional wrestling days could be over for good.
I’m not sure how badily injured Randy Orton is, and not sure how long he’ll be out of WWE. He might not be gone at all and might show up on RAW tonight. It’s a real injury so Randy Orton could be gone for a long time. Like him or hate him, Randy is one of the best performers in WWE. Great worker. He’s a great wrestler, excellent on the mic, has a good look, good physique, etc. He has it all. He has everything what a wrestler is supposed to be.
To those who don’t know, Randy Orton is the son of wrestling legend, Cowboy Bob Orton. Randy had always been one of my favorite superstars even when he is heel. If he’s going to be gone for a long time to heal up, the WWE would be crap without him.
