They are saying it's as bad as Sid Vicious. Which ...basically put him on the shelf for 2 years. It also had doctors tell him he may never run again. (Vicious would as he claims be able to run again after lots of work)Originally Posted by Username taken
That was a terrible spot.
There’s nothing with taking risks but certain risks seem a little much.
This was one of them.
EDIT: I hope it’s “only”;his foot that’s broken because his ankle took some impact there.
ANOTHER EDIT: Dante’s foot was facing the wrong direction when he landed…., it’s a very gruesome injury.

you could say that about just about every spot when somebody gets injured. Originally Posted by SUPERECWFAN1

the spot isn't any dumber than what you'd see in an average sabu match.

I feel bad for top flight as both guys have been plagued with injuries. Depending on how serious the injury is Dante may be forced to change his style.

They being YouTube comments , FB group posts about issue and some I'm sure have mentioned it on Twitter. The foot snapping that way made a lot of people think of Sid Vicious injury where his foot snapped the same way. Originally Posted by BigLbo

A couple years ago Jim Cornette who many love here (lol) detailed where Sammy was against Pac in a match. And for no real reason Sammy went for a move to take out Pac. There was no real storyline for it. The move just looked cool and was a big high spot to do and the 2 weren't even in a hot feud.

Apparently Rick Steiner got booted from wrestle con after being transphobic to Gisele Shaw.

Shit Dante got fucked up.
Guy puked in the front row. Worst injury I've seen live. Dante needs people to tell him no to some of his ideas. The gatekeepers need to be the adults in the room, not one of the boys. Ugh ...
He was primed for a singles push, too. I guess the lesser brother Darius is getting the push now.
Sounds like he's getting a rod and 1-2 years of rehab in order to walk.
That's one for the Sid Viscous pile.

If this is as bad as Sid's injury the high flying style is over with. He will be lucky to run much less land on his feet when he needs to. Originally Posted by SUPERECWFAN1

Mick Foley a few years ago detailed how he would be hard to reign in on ideas. But Terry Funk being the wise veteran would speak up if something...was too much to do. So he comically was in the same boat years later against Abyss in TNA. Where Abyss wanted to do this big bump which Mick realized was too much to attempt and he stepped up and advised him like Funk did. Originally Posted by BeastieRunner

If there are any swerves in any of the Mania matches, what is the best chance? Reigns retains, Charlotte retains? Cena actually wins the US Title?

The only swerve I see is Dominic actually beating his dad. I imagine if Dom wins the feud ends Originally Posted by chachi

The spot was stupid and someone should have pointed that out to them.
I hope he gets well soon.

Well we have to remember Billy Gunn (way before CM Punk) detailed how the young guys wouldn't have long careers if they did these wild spots EVERY show. Gunn I believe advised them to save the big sh-t for really big moments.
Then it came out Punk wanted the young guys to tone it down on the high spots. The young talent got mad at his advice there not realizing it was actually good veteran advice for long term careers.
Dante Martin may not come back and his road back won't be easy with this. In his early-mid 20s he's suffered a possible career ending injury compared to a man who is in his mid 40s and worked a lot more matches etc in CM Punk.
A big factor is...will young guys listen to older veterans about this? They haven't before."The story so far: As usual, Ginger and I are engaged in our quest to find out what the hell is going on and save humanity from my nemesis, some bastard who is presumably responsible." - Sir Digby Chicken Caesar.
