I heard, what I will call for now, a rumor that Skip Sheffield broke his leg working the overseas tour. Estimated to be out 5-6 months.
I've seen nothing posted.
Anyone else heard this?

I heard about it when it was initially said to have happened. Nothing since then.

Here is a report on it...
As reported on earlier, the fear is that Nexus member Skip Sheffield suffered a broken ankle at a WWE event over the weekend in Hawaii and that he could be missing a lot of time as a result. Last night’s Raw was taped in Los Angeles last week following Summerslam so they were safe for that show. It remains to be seen if an angle will be run on next week’s 900th episode of Raw in Boston to explain why he won’t be used on a regular basis (that is of course assuming the injury is as bad as it is being reported among the wrestling media). Believe it or not, The Figure Four Weekly Newsletter is reporting that there has already been talk in WWE of killing the Nexus angle by October.

I wonder if it could work by adding Husky Harris in Sheffield's role?

Having someone replace him would be good, I'd think, then they have an instant angle when he gets back.

They could always just have him hobble around on the ankle for a few weeks, which may be what they do.

That's true.. as long as he's ok to stand and look menacing when they are all in the ring they could probably cover it without to much trouble.

I know they can't wrestle, but I never understood the reasoning why they have to be off the air completly. He could still provide outside interference or something along those lines

Especially in Nexus' case of always ganging up on people. He could use his crutches to help Nexus win.

Plus, they could easily work this into a story angle with an off-screen attack that leaves him with a broken ankle.

Using Crutches as a weapon would be really good.. Cowboy Bob was the man back in the day.

It would be a good way to use Young and explain the injury.
