Dr. Wagner Junior stabbed in the wrist (and Hijo del Santo says crazy things)

Dr. Wagner Jr. was attacked on his way home yesterday. The attacker stabbed him near his wrist, creating a huge and ugly gash near his wrist. There’s a bloody and graphic picture of the wound on Hijo del Santo’s Facebook. There’s also a picture on @WagnerJrOficial, though I have no idea if that’s really his Twitter (or how we’d be able to verify.) There’s no word on how this will affect Wagner going forward or how long he’ll be out of action. Everyone hopes he recovers fully and is back soon.

There is a theory about the attacker. El Hijo del Santo posted this message on his above linked Facebook. Bold for the important line.

¡Estimados amigos! Desafortunadamente hace un par de horas mi compañero Dr Wagner Jr. Sufrió un atentado al llegar a su domicilio, fue víctima de amenazas con arma blanca y al intentar defenderse sufrió una herida en la muñeca. Esto fue relacionado con lo que declaró ante las cámaras de Televisión al referirse a que fue despojado de su personaje en USA, ya que no se trató de un asalto.

¡ Antes que ser rivales en el ring, somos compañeros de profesión y le deseo su pronta recuperación! Este cobarde atentado no puede quedar impune

Santo’s saying the attack was not a random assault, but related to the Wagner’s deceleration about someone trying to steal his identity in the US. Santo makes sure not to refer to AAA directly and the Todo x el Todo Twitter woke up from a long slumber to point that out, but I fail to see who else Santo could’ve been talking about here.  Hijo del Santo is implying AAA sent a guy to knife Dr. Wagner Junior. (Dr. Wagner Jr. has said NOT publicly said anything like this.)

I do not believe AAA sent a guy to stab Dr. Wagner Junior. I do not believe I just had to type that last sentence. If you read the AAA statements or saw their comments, it was very obvious AAA does not care about the Dr. Wagner name. They care about the hassle Wagner’s putting them thru, and the distraction he’s caused when they have better things to do, but they’d be beyond thrilled if Wagner just paid them the money and this all went away. They also have to realize he’s not paying the money, but having this fade away is a win for them and they’d want to do nothing to make this a bigger issue going forward  I feel fairly certain AAA would not be sending a knife wielding assassin after anyone for any reason, but this issue would be pretty low on the list of reasons to go stab someone.

El Hijo del Santo is a liar. That’s okay, lots of wrestlers turn out that way, it helps a bit. Hijo del Santo and Todo x el Todo blatantly lied about the cancellation of the Zocalo show, using hurricane relief as a reason to scrub a show that was never actually going to happen. This one is minor compared to that, and more manipulation of the truth for his own benefit – Wagner did really get stabbed, and Santo really hates AAA. If Santo really had proof this was related to the trademark issue, he had to present it when he made the accusation. He didn’t, and that’s probably actionable.

Dr. Wagner’s next known match is Sunday in Arena Azteca Budokan, and that’s a show he’s likely to make even if he can’t work. Hopefully we’ll find more about his condition by then.
