Is WWE Lying About Batista's Injury?, Hogan Gets More Hair, HBK, More
In articles on WWE.com regarding Batista's injury, they're claiming his hamstring was actually injured at SummerSlam, in the same match that World Heavyweight Champion John Cena was forced out of action with a neck injury. While he may have tweaked his hamstring in the match, there is no way he had a full tear at that time. If Batista really tore his hamstring in the match, you would have seen a massive difference in the size of the two legs since he doesn't wear long trunks The back of one of his legs would have been empty, so the idea he's worked for weeks, or months, with a full tear is quite false. The injury really started giving him problems during last month's European tour, which worsened to the point of him needing surgery.
Shawn Michaels did a rare autograph signing in Pennsylvania yesterday, which drew at least 500 people.
IGN has released new screenshots for the upcoming WWE Legends of WrestleMania video game, which is scheduled to be released in March. In a screenshot released just last week, there's a noticeable difference in Hulk Hogan's hairline in the video game.
