Injuries have a big impact on Kingsport Moe Jenkins had surgery Friday to replace a tear in his knee. He was hurt in the main event Christmas Night but finished the match and brawl and thought he would be ok. Got up next morning could not walk. This injury is very close to same one Tony Givens had last year.
Nick Hammonds also has a knee injury and missed Friday. He should be able to return for Rogersville Event Jan. 24
KC Thunder should be back Feb 13.
Ref Rob Knight is out with back injury. He had surgery 4 or 5 years ago. He is hoping its not going to require another. He did the Jan 3 CW Kingsport Event. But only made it 1/2 way threw his matches before having to come out of the ring.
Rob being out is the reason the Smoke was used Friday. But he will not return the deal with Beau James and Smoke was a shoot. While the finish of the Rumble was going on security was trying to get Smoke up and take him to the back. He was crying.
It started during the rumble.Smoke would not count the fall when James had Lynn pinned. Ref Brandon Cox had to come around and do it.James and Smoke had words. James slapped Smoke as he left when Givens came in the ring. During the brawl Smoke would not go with James, Givens ,and Cox. Even with Cox waving and calling for him to help break it up.So James found him and laid him out and took the whip to him.
