Tommy John Surgery is a procedure where the ulnar collateral ligament in the medial elbow is replaced with a tendon from somewhere else in the body. The procedure is common among athletes, especially baseball players. It was named after the first baseball player to undergo the surgery, former MLB pitcher Tommy John.

Three more months from now is still better than what I was hoping for.

He's finished.

Tommy John isn't that serious. Generally when pitchers get it, they return nearly as strong if not just-as.

He's finished. He had a glorious career.

They said Daniel was the new Shawn Michaels. There you go. Didn't Shawn stay like two or three years out for some injury reason?

Superstars go out way longer than three months sometimes because of an injury. This isn't that serious.

CM Punk was the new Shawn Michaels, and look how he turned out.

No that was John Morrison lol

CM Punk was never the next Michaels.

He had a great career. he has nothing to be ashamed of.

He'll be back i know this.

I made a thread about it a long time ago. When Summer of Punk happened, it seemed like a good parallel. Austin -> Hogan, Lesnar -> Warrior, Cena -> Bret Hart, Punk -> Michaels, and that we were due for the next mega-star within a few years, the same way that Austin took over after Michaels. But Punk only worked out for a couple years, then left abruptly, just like Shawn did (albeit for totally different reasons). That's the point. And we still haven't got the next mega-star.
