Rey Mysterio suffered a concussion at Summerslam.
Here's my take on the 8/22 PWInsider.com questions:
Nothing to add to 1.
2. He's an absolute monster when positioned right. I like seeing him plow through people. I'm just worried that he won't live up to the hype in longer matches. There's only one way to find out how good he really is, and it's a risky venture because there might not be a second chance for a good long match with him.
3. Finisher kickouts should be saved for big matches I think. I'd blame it on fans having seen so many matches that finishers aren't as meaningful, so wrestlers have to do more (false finishes) to pop the crowd.
4. Linda McMahon wasn't running for office then and they weren't working with PG-friendly sponsors.
5. I do think it kind of diminishes it for everyone to get a contract, but I think it doesn't hurt them to sign some talents who could one day be ready for the main roster. Always build for the future!
