Major Update: Rey Mysterio's Injury & Surgery

The word making the rounds backstage at RAW is that Mysterio has been diagnosed with a torn ACL. He's scheduled to go under the knife later week and will be out up to six months. The knee was injured during a house show match with Alberto Del Rio several weeks back.

WWE.com issued the following statement:

Former World Champion Rey Mysterio confirmed on his Twitter account today that he will require immediate surgery after sustaining an in-ring injury.

Check back with WWE.com for more details as this story develops.

It's worth noting that WWE.com linked Rey Mysterio's actual Twitter account in the above post. This is something that they have not done in the past. It also deals with the fact that WWE is trying to incorporate more social media into their storyline angles as well as real-life injuries, etc. as evidenced by this. Keep in mind that Stephanie McMahon also recently took over as the head person in charge of WWE.com.

I will never get why people laugh and celebrate when they hear that a wrestler is injured.

He isn't a bad person.

Well he may have done some bad things [I want to know what you all think is the worst thing he has done] but it wasn't like he killed his daughter or something..

lets see

1. he was a charity case and won the WHC the first time cause Eddie died

2. he bitched and whined cause they wanted to take the IC title off him and put it on Ziggler

3. he gets championship matches as soon as he comes off suspension for steroids

should i keep going? also, we can say what we want about any wrestler, just like you can

karma isnt gonna strike anyone for laughing at Mysterio

she aint in a fit state too.. shes pregnant!
