Ach, I've been meaning to ask about that. Why has HBK been out so long, is he on an Undertaker style contract now or something?
He blew out his knee just before DX got back together, but with the big money and push that he was going to receive he gutted through it until after Mania this year. He then went out, had surgery, and should be back really soon.
I think the Save_Us promo is interesting, and if it's HBK I think it'd be a disappointment because much as I love and respect the man's work, he isn't worth using this kind of approach on. It really has to be Jericho or WWE will just disappoint people. I also hear Edge is set to return officially at Survivor Series, if Cena HAS gone down to injury, Edge will be more important then ever.
Speaking of the injury, like Red said, surprised this hasn't happened sooner, WWE needs to learn to rest their top guys more, Cena has had well over 100 matches this year ALONE, he's headlined EVERY PPV and he's constantly working TV. I don't care how young and tough you are, that kind of schedule is eventually going to lead to injury, and a bad one. What's further insane is the match it occured in, the first meeting of Cena and Kennedy, which no matter what you think of Kennedy at this point is a PPV quality bout that should not be on free TV with no build whatsoever. Give Cena his due for gutting that out, for the tough schedule he's worked, and hopefully this injury isn't as bad as has been feared. Orton is most probably getting the belt here and it'll be interesting to see if Randy can really step it up and work in that role. If he can't, we all know who's waiting in the wings to take the ball back again...
