The man who thought he had a plan
Are they intended or just a gross oversight?
That is one thing that has been bugging the hell outta me lately. Not the reason why he's always healing so fast but the rather the fact that either he's absolutely impervious to kayfabe injury or simply totally unable to sell an injury. In his last encounter with Angle, Kurt basically took him to town and ended up putting his ankle, the same ankle that had been savagely attacked a few minutes earlier, in a folded chair and "broken". Two weeks later he's walking, no cast and no crutches, like nothing had happened. I know these guys are in better shape than I am but I'm pretty sure that if anybody whacks you repeatedly on the ankle with a random steel/metal/wood or otherwise hard object, you're AT THE VERY LEAST gonna be very sore for more than two weeks. But the ankle was sold as broken and then *generic sound for magic happening* he's fine. No limp, nothing.
And then on to his recent hamstring "injury". I mean, the NERVE, they even have been talking about torn ACL. Let's not forget that the hamstring in question has been attacked and thus, I presume, re-injured every single week for around a month, again savagely attacked and yet the man is walking and acting like nothing happened! And clearing the ring on an almost regular basis!
Now, I KNOW that wrestling has a part of fake in it but this is taking things to ridiculous levels. Isn't there at least one guy in creative whose only job is to keep an eye on these things and work with and around it? Or is Jarrett simply writing himself to be an unstoppable badass? I got a problem with that hypothesis because he, in no way, is or even remotely looks like a badass. If TNA hopes to be taken seriously, they're going to pay attention to these details. Otherwise, it just becomes silly.
