No more concrete word on this, just some speculation from SEScoops.com, I’d say with a broken orbital bone this is a fair estimate.

The Undertaker is expected to be out for several months due to this injury. The latest talk is that SummerSlam is an optimistic return date for the Undertaker’s return, but other plans will be made in case he needs more time off.

There’s tons of Undertaker ‘tribute’ videos all over Youtube if you look for them, but not very many really stand out as being different from the pack. However, this video currently doing the rounds sure caught my interest and eye. I had to feature it here on PhenomForever.com.. enjoy!

Karl Returns From The Dead & The Team Discuss The Week/Injury

I cannot believe I’m actually going to have to post this but in response to a plethora of email’s I’ve received since the airing of Kane’s dramatic segment on Smackdown last night, I have to. No, The Undertaker, Mark Calaway, is not dead. He’s at home resting up and healing a busted eye socket. Do not fret, you haven’t seen the last of him.

Now I have to go laugh hysterically.

It isnt the usual Smackdown write up this week as The Undertaker made no actual appearance upon the show. However, the entire show itself was centered around the covering storyline for The Undertakers now confirmed injury. No word yet on how long he might be gone for, but we can only hope it isn’t too long because a show without Undertaker is like a cowboy without his horse. It just doesn’t look right.

The show opened with the announcement that The Undertaker had been found in a ‘vegetative state’. No, this doesn’t mean he was found in a pile of cucumbers, but more found in an unresponsive and comatose condition. How do you render something dead into a coma? Answers on a postcard please! Nevertheless despite plot-holes the Titanic could steer through, this rushed together story continued with the emergence of Kane at his OSCAR winning best. Jacob Goodnight should have been far more emo than he was. Kane declared that the greatest and most respected force in the WWE was gone for good. He would find out who put The Undertaker into this condition and he would make him pay. Firey and brutal vengeance. Kane then proceeded to tear through the backstage area confronting everybody but getting no answers. Who are the likely suspects? Well Kane seems to have given CM Punk, Mysterio, Big Show and Swagger a ‘not about to die’ free pass after interrogating them and coming up with nothing. Who does that leave?

Maybe it was Vince. (Gasp).

The Undertaker’s spot in Fatal Four Way’s main event was then up for grabs in a battle royal that made no sense whatsoever. After a show centered around Kane and his quest for revenge, the winner of the battle royal turned out to be Rey Mysterio…

I know. I’m not even going to say it.

So, whodunnit? When will the Deadman return to our screens? Who invented liquid soap and why? The answers to all this and more (no doubt) coming to a Smackdown near you!

We’re still stuck in the past this week, visiting a post ‘Big Evil’ Laurie reflecting on past personas and past outfits.

SmackDown opened up with Teddy Long announcing that over the weekend, The Undertaker had been found by his brother Kane in a “vegetative” state.  The intro played and then the lights went off. The druids came to the ring with a casket.  Kane then came down  and got in the ring which had a podium, a wreath and a wreath on a ring post. He asked for the casket to be opened. He talked about what happened. Kane kept saying that Taker would not come back from the dead again, that he was gone. He vowed that there would be vengeance, the likes of which we’ve never seen before. He then tore the ring up and dropped down by the ropes in front of the casket and was  all kinds of upset.

Throughout the show, Kane was shown backstage, talking to people (Punk, Rey Mysterio, etc) trying to figure out who did this to Taker and that he couldn’t trust anybody.

Taking this with a large grain of salt..

It is being reported that The Undertaker suffered a broken orbital bone, a broken nose, and a concussion during his match with Rey Mysterio on this past week’s edition of Smackdown. It’s believed that Undertaker got hurt from the seated senton move by Mysterio.

Right now, it’s being said that there’s a 50-50 chance Undertaker will be able to wrestle at the Fatal 4 Way PPV.

With Undertaker hurt, WWE is going to have Rey Mysterio (who just started his vacation) wrestle in Undertaker’s place for the time being. If Undertaker can’t make the PPV, it’s likely that Mysterio will be inserted into the match.

To be taken with a grain of salt as with all things, but PWInsider is reporting the following.

The word around WWE is that creative are now planning for Summerslam this year. At this point Jack Swagger vs. Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship is just about a lock for this years event in Los Angeles at the Staples Center.

It’s already been mentioned here on PhenomForever.com but looks as though it might well happen. What does this mean for the match at Fatal Four Way?
