Shannon: Is Wrestling Too Dangerous?
HeadLocker — Jay Shannon
Is Wrestling Too Dangerous for it’s Stars?
Our resident philosopher, Jay Shannon, takes a look at the recent streak of injuries that have plagued wrestling. He speculates if the current wrestling product is too intense for it’s own good.
John Cena is on the shelf indefinitely with a neck/spine injury that could have easily crippled him. This isn’t the first time that Cena has been injured in the ring. He joins Randy Orton on the Disabled List of wrestlers that have had an unexpected leave due to a severe injury. In this edition of HeadLocker, I want to look at some of the men and women who have been injured recently and explain why the current state of wrestling is just too dangerous.
