Report: Vince McMahon Suffers A "Broken Pelvis"

[Jack-Hammer]

As we all know during the "performance evaluation" segment on Raw last night between Paul Heyman & Vince McMahon, Brock Lesnar made his return. He interrupted things before Vince could fully utter those two magic words and ultimately had a brief staredown with Vince. Shortly afterward, he scooped Vince up onto his shoulders and delivered the F5.

According to WWE.com, the attack left Vince with a broken pelvis. I first read this over on wrestlinginc.com, but the site named WWE.com as the original source for the report. My first instinct is to merely think it's all a work, especially since WWE.com seems to be the source of the info. I do think it's possible, however, that it might be legit. Vince landed hard and considering his age, it's possible that he could have suffered a legit injury.

At any rate, last night was the beginning of the return of Triple H from his self imposed exile. Aside from his appearance at the Slammy Awards edition of Raw, we haven't laid eyes on Trips since the Raw after SummerSlam. I'm guessing they'll probably go with Trips coming back out and ultimately going after Lesnar with an eventual SummerSlam rematch at WrestleMania.

Cue Triple H's music.

The story is undoubtedly the spark to reignite Brock Lesnar's feud with Triple H; and what a kick ass way for it to start off. Whether Mr. McMahon is injured legitimately or not, it takes some huge balls to take a bump like that at his age. But I wouldn't be surprised if it's totally a work. Mr. McMahon has taken nasty bumps before and I'm sure he knows how to land properly. What's more important is where does Brock go from here? Storyline wise, he's not even contracted to the WWE. I think it's possible over the next few weeks, we see a furious Triple H offer Brock Lesnar a contract (that explains the 2 year extension) so he will face him at Wrestlemania. Triple H has always shown us his rivalries are better when their personal; you don't fuck with a man's family and Brock did it here. Whatever the case, I feel as if I'm the only one down with this feud. With the way it started last night, I'm surprised everyone isn't ready for next week.

Even though the ultimate end game of Brock/HHH at Mania may not be the best use of Brock, seeing him come out last night and lay out Vince was great. Simply put Brock still has it. The second his music hits you feel it. He is so good at what he does. From his presence, to his staredowns, to the F-5 and everything inbetween Brock truly has his role as a monster down.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Triple H vs. Lensar will happen at Mania, nobody doubts that. What's terrifying about this situation is that McMahon will likely return at Mania to cost Lesnar the match. I also expect other McMahon's to appear in the coming weeks. Fine for one-off episodes of Raw, but please no Stephanie for weeks on end.

 

[Suviluer]

Thats a work for sure.... and about HHH v Lesnar..... There is another route.

HHH coming back, get taken out by Lesnar and after Lesnar saying that no one can stop him.. which a that point we hear the gong! and Taker comes out! but to be honest with the ppv being called rematchmania i dont think it will happen

 

[tvcolosi]

I hope is not that. I have broken my pelvis, and you cannot put an ounce of weight on that leg for 90 days. Flip side, if that means he cannot attend TV's maybe he sees HHH running the show and are realizes he can retire...

 

[Sax_Player41]

I was at RAW last night, sitting a few rows behind the announcers. When Lesnar first F-5'd him, we all thought it was a work. After the show left air, they brought a stretcher out and Vince seemed to be in legit pain. JBL, Cole and King all left the announce area to check on Vince and all seemed to be legitimately concerned once they walked back to gather their belongings from the desk.

Cena then made his way down and announced to the crowd that they were taking Vince to a hospital.

It could still be a work but if not then I hope he's ok. It takes some giant grapefruits to take a bump like that.

This definitely sets up Triple H/Lesnar 2 at Rematchamania. The only way I'd get into this rematch is with a gimmick. I've heard 3 stages of hell and that is a good one. HIAC, Cage, Last man Standing, Street Fight, or Falls Count Anywhere would be good ideas with Vince's career on the line if you want a stipulation. But if it's just a regular one-on-one match, then no I do not want to see a rematch without a gimmick WITH something on the line. Otherwise it's ******ed because you KNOW Triple H is going to win so make it interesting.

 

[tvcolosi]

go back and watch the clip, he lands on his right hip, and his right foot barely moves after he extends the knee. The look how his foot is turned to the side. Looks all to real to me. If it is a work, they put A LOT of effor in to the minor details of that injury.

 

[WWEIsLife2]

I would think its part of the Storyline but at the same time you never know. Either way its an awesome way to kick off the Brock Lesnar/HHH Feud going into WM 29. I know some people aren't too crazy about a Rematch but I liked their first go around. As someone said earlier Lesnar can still bring it from everything he does.

 

[Moneyinc]

Yea if you actually watch how he landed it wasn't a clean landing. This is crazy. Vince is definitely too old to be getting dropped like that. If he didn't get injured I am surprised just based on how he landed on his side. With the poster above talking about what actually happened at Raw, it sounds as though this is very real. Of course it could still be just part of the story, but I dno. Wouldn't that part have been on TV if it was part of the story? Sounds like the show was originally supposed to stop when it did on TV, but Vince was legitimately injured so Cena had to come back out to tell the fans what was going on just because it was probably kind of a weird moment... Sounds as though this is real

 

[Pedigree1]

Wow first off i like to say Vince has huge grapefruits to take a bump like that especially at his age. I saw it coming because vince said i would be careful if i was you. But i would not be surprised if Vince is hurt that was a huge bump he took and he landed hard.

But i cant wait for the Lesnar HHH rematch at WM. This definitely sets it up and will bring HHH out of exile. I dont wanna see any other McMahon other than HHH and Lesnar building up their feud towards mania. Now im wondering what kind of match should they have.

 

[GutCheck21]

Having Lesnar making his return last night was great way to end Raw and it just shows Lesnar still got it. I pop when his music hit and F5 Vince because I was worried how WWE will bring Brock back. With Vince " injury" its obvious this is lined up for HHH return but I'm interested how will they use this leading up too EC. Does Brock have a match? Interesting to see what happens next

 

[LascoX]

I had to wince when I saw Vince land last night. He is getting to old to take bumps of that nature and I would not be surprised if the injury is legit. I personally figured they would fire Heyman and then have Heyman, Lesner , Punk and the Shield wage war with the WWE ala NWO and they still might. Vince taking the bump last night in my opinion was an un-nessasary risk for a guy his age but kudo's to him for having the balls to take the hit for the team. Vince didn't land good at all so even if the injury is a work I bet he is still feeling it bad today. Hopefully he will have a speedy recovery in either event.

I also expect other McMahon's to appear in the coming weeks. Fine for one-off episodes of Raw, but please no Stephanie for weeks on end.

Too much Stephanie is not enough Stephanie. I'm sure we will get at least one Stephanie appearance, highly doubt we will see Shane or Linda though.

 

[Trill Co$by]

"And down goes the Genetic Jackhammer!"

But no seriously, Vince is a trooper. Anybody who says he doesn't know wrestling, doesn't know wrestling. I will reason with some and say that in fits of rage, we all call that out once or twice. But I think only the morons believe it afterwards. I, for one, am quite pleased with how raw went down.

The Shield and Brock Lesnar are back. CM Punk found out that Heyman paid off The Shield and Brad Maddox. This is going to lead to the greatest WrestleMania in the last 5 years... I'm not going to say all time because I'm not stupid enough to set myself up like that.

Too much Stephanie is not enough Stephanie. I'm sure we will get at least one Stephanie appearance, highly doubt we will see Shane or Linda though.

Indeed. Especially with Y2J and Rock both back.

Wait, am I reading these responses right? Some of you actually think this is a legit injury!?

May kayfabe have mercy on your souls. Also watch the "WWE.COM EXCLUSIVE" where he gets carted off improperly by fake EMTs

I agree with this guy. Come on now guys, none of you are actually naive enough to suggest that Vince McMahon suffered a broken pelvis at the climax of RAW last night at the hands of the returning Brock Lesnar?

Storyline, all basic storyline. A stretcher brought out to escort Vince from the ring while he appeared to be in real pain? Work. Concern on the behalf of JBL, Cole, and Lawler? Work. An announcement by Cena to the crowd? Work. I don't doubt that a man of Vince's age will likely not be feeling too well today. I'm sure it did hurt, seeing such an aggressive move by such a beast of a man put on and sold by McMahon. But to suggest he suffered a legitimate injury, a broken pelvis no less, is beyond assinine.

The man had to be sufficiently incapacitated to not be able to do anything last night about what went down. And he has to be unable to appear next week, opening the door for Triple H to appear on his behalf, setting up the match at Wrestlemania, likely with Heyman's future at stake. But trust me, I'm pretty sure Vince's pelvis is perfectly fine and intact. And he wasn't blown to smithereens in his limo a few years ago either.

 

[justtxyank]

LOL

A broken pelvis would hurt like hell. If Vince really broke his pelvis he is the toughest SOB in history to no sell it while still pretending that the F5 knocked him out.

Come on guys. He'd be writhing in pain all over the mat if he really had a broken pelvis.

 

[Mitch Henessey]

Considering Lesnar's savage and brutal style, I don't think it's unreasonable to believe in real injuries for McMahon. The F5 is a high impact move, Vince is an older guy, and he did land hard. Remember how Lesnar busted open Cena's lip during the big scuffle before Extreme Rules last year? Yes, I'm 99% sure this a work, but Lesnar's a rough guy, and Vince McMahon is a legitimate senior citizen.

Anyway, this should open the door for Lesnar VS HHH II. The Game will have to return, find his courage to face Lesnar again, and avenge his father-in-law. I wouldn't mind seeing Stephanie again, and I'll keep my fingers crossed for an appearance from Shane.

Like i mentioned, I have sufferd this injury in a head on accident where a drunk driver hit me.. you cannot move, that causes more pain. While on the ambulance i was strapped on the stretcher, and the pain was manageble until we hit a bumps in the road. So the "rolling around" would not be physically possible.

 

[Show_Off]

Im new to the board so I mine as well jump in head first...What if, Punk turns on Heyman for costing him his title at Rumble by making a deal behind his back with the Shield. Heyman basically said he didnt believe in Punk by making deals with Brad Maddox and the Shield. Its interesting Punk was "Escorted out of the building" minutes before Brock showed up. I believe this is setting up a Mania match with Brock after Brock costs Punk the Title at Elimination Chamber.

 

[Jack-Hammer]

I see both sides of the work vs. legit argument. As I said, my initial reaction is that it's a work as WWE.com is who broke the story. As others have pointed out, Lesnar is a stiff bastard with a rough style and the F5 is a high impact move. Vince McMahon is also a man in his mid 60s, so there's a legit possibility at least that he's really hurt.

I think it's a simple and effective way to move forward for Trips vs. Lesnar II. It looks like they're going the route of Triple H standing up for his family and I like that. We see so many feuds in wrestling that all boils down primarily to "egos" of the wrestlers. But Trips has a completely understandable motive to get back into things. At the end of the day, Vince is the grandfather of Triple H's children. He's legitimately close to Vince and has been since before he started knockin' boots with Stephanie.

Triple H might make an appearance on Raw next week or they might use next week's episode to build up his appearance for the next Raw, thereby helping the show to pop another big rating.

 

[Ace Sleeper]

Just my thoughts on the kayfabe vs. legit thing.

Remember how easily Brock Lesnar broke Hardcore Holly's neck? It took about a 2-3 foot drop, with the smallest amount of force and bam, 13 months gone from his career. Holly wasn't a small/fragile man either. Sometimes shit happens, and being 70 years old taking a slam from a 280 pound freak makes it a lot easier. Work? Probably. Legit? Very, very possible.

Anyway, that was a great segment from everyone involved. Hopefully Triple H/Lesnar can put on a better show than Summerslam though. I'm sure everyone can agree it was a bit underwhelming. I see quite a few people who don't wanna see the rematch, but I think with a more consistent build up it could work better.

 

[Fansince1992]

Seems like a work for me. Next week we are bound to get Cole announcing "Later tonight we will bring you up to date with Vince McMahon's condition" maybe somebody from the family will update us? Yep the obvious choice is Triple H.

Brave, Brave Vince though gotta hand it to him for letting a beast like Lesnar manhandle him like that. This has certainly smashed the Lesnar story wide open at the moment. Will be interesting to see what Heyman/Punk/Shield/Maddox have to to do with all this involving Brock Lesnar. My initial thoughts after the last Raw were that Heyman knew in the back of his mind that Brock was going to come out, all the pleading with Vince (and Brock) was a cover, and it's another scheming Heyman plot in the making (I Love it)

I think i'm drifting off the main topic here of wether Vince is Ligit suffering a broken Pelvis, and rambling on about the possible scenario that this is all setting up Brock vs Trips take 2. Will leave it there and talk about this probable match if a thread pops up.
