How we report this
- Reported injury
- A real injury that the promotion, the wrestler or a named reporter has publicly reported. We repeat only what was reported. We don't diagnose, and we never infer an injury from missed shows.
- Announced absence
- Time away that the promotion or the wrestler announced, for whatever reason they gave (if they gave one).
- Storyline absence
- An injury or absence that happened in a storyline, on screen. It is not a confirmed real injury. If a real injury is reported later, it gets its own record.
- Every record repeats what was publicly said, with who said it, when, and a link. We don't diagnose, and we never assume someone is hurt because they missed shows.
- Expected return shows an estimate only when the promotion or the wrestler gave one. Otherwise it says Unknown. Reporters' estimates are listed separately, attributed, and flagged when they disagree.
- A return counts as confirmed only when the promotion or the wrestler confirms it, or the wrestler appears. A report that someone will be back is an estimate.
- Each record stays under the promotion the wrestler was with at the time, even if they have moved on since.
- Every update and correction is kept in the record's history, with the editor who made it. Records are archived after a return, never deleted.
- With spoiler protection on, records show only what was known before your window. A record that only became public inside your window is hidden completely, name included.
