What do you guys think of the news about Paige being forced to retire now due to the injury from a week or so ago? I think its a pretty ###### situation all around for her, and I hope she can handle it to be honest. Such a crap hand dealt to her overall - maybe she'll be invited to stay around as a trainer or on-air talent for other things.

From what I have read, Paige has the opportunity to stick around as a "non-wrestler".  Hopefully she can be the "stable leader" for what she has started, just stay out of the wrestling part, like being the manager.

I refrained from mentioning it as it's still currently unverified, but yeah, rotten luck if it's true. It'd be surreal to see a wrestler younger than me forced into retirement already; I'm only 26 and she's 25.  Although technically she has been wrestling all her life; her mum wrestled a match while unknowingly seven month pregnant with her.

 

 

There is another retirement story that hasn't been officially confirmed, but does come from Dave Meltzer, and that's Mark Henry. Obviously not as surprising, since he hasn't wrestled since WrestleMania last year, but still, any excuse to post his fake retirement masterclass...

...well ######, Meltzer's now come out and said the Paige reports are accurate.

Here's a video of the accident, by the way...

I'm not a wrestling fan ... however I saw her story on ESPN earlier today.  One would think that the WWE wouldn't script a kick to the back of her neck after her prior injury/surgery.  Very unfortunate for her and her fans.

It was probably something Paige and Sasha Banks agreed on, rather than the guys behind-the-scenes, either before the match or maybe even during it on-the-fly; it was at a live/non-televised show, so presumably the matches aren't as meticulously planned out as they would be on TV or PPV.

Welp, made it almost two whole weeks into 2018 before a "LOLTNA" moment.

^^ That's Don Callis, by the way; English colour commentator for NJPW, and now also EVP of Impact along with Scott D'Amore.

Surprise return at the Royal Rumble, perhaps?

Paige even made headlines here in the belgian newspapers, with that accident

Worth quoting just to keep this going!  LOL!!  Jericho has always been entertaining to me.  Great character, and his "evolutions" throughout the years has been fun to watch.
