Last week we reported that Randy Orton was involved in a near fatal motorcycle accident that re-broke his collarbone near his home (in High Ridge, Missouri). As the story goes, The Legend Killer Orton claimed his motorcycle struck the curb after a car veered into his lane, causing him to swerve to widen his turn. Where Orton said he was thrown off his motorcycle and continued to roll 300 feet while unconscious. Landed in the ditch, Orton believes he could have died had he not been wearing a helmet. He said his only injury was to his collarbone, which won’t require additional surgery, but he would be out of action for about three months…

Well according to Wrestling Observer, the entire ordeal does seem suspicious. Thus far, the St. Louis media has yet to report anything on the supposed accident. Secondly, the Missouri highway patrol has no record of responding to any accident involving the WWE Superstar, although they would likely only have to do with the highways.

Some people even have gone as far as asking the St. Louis police department about the apparent accident, but they knew nothing about it when asked. Orton lives out in High Ridge, a St. Louis suburb in Jefferson County. Some people have also called the county sheriff’s department, but reportedly it goes to a voice message and then says that the message box is full.

And if that’s not enough, some of the neighboring jurisdictions that the St. Louis police suggested were also checked, and once again, nobody knew anything about the accident.

Just to help fill in the timeline, a few days before the half-reported accident, Orton was in the U.K. promoting SummerSlam and said he was two weeks away from returning to the ring.

What really happened we wonder…

The following news is brought to us from WWE:

Randy Orton was involved in a motorcycle accident near his home Sunday night that could have ended his life were he not wearing a helmet.

Orton, who has only been riding motorcycles for a month, said he was riding around a sharp curve on a steep hill home when an oncoming car veered into his lane causing him to widen his turn.

Orton then struck a curb and was thrown from his bike. He collided with the ground, knocking him unconscious. In his words, Orton “bounced and rolled just under 300 feet, landing in a ditch.”

“When I came to, I knew I had rebroken my collarbone,” said Orton. “When the police and fireman got there, they asked me ‘Where’s the guy who was in the wreck?’ and I said ‘It was me.’”

Orton, who was wearing just shorts and a sweatshirt, only sustained the rebroken collarbone.

“Without a helmet, I would be dead,” said Orton. “Now that I have a newborn daughter, so much was going through my head.”

Although the initial prognosis is that Orton will not need surgery, this injury will set him back an additional three months before he can return to the ring.

Orton did have one final message for his fans … “I will ride again.”

Well, we wish Randy Orton a speedy recovery with the hope a little sense has been knocked into him.

According to the WWE, Vince McMahon’s Million Dollar Mania contest is now “suspended for the foreseeable future” due, of course, to the “tragic accident” that occurred during the final minutes of Monday Night’s RAW. The official post is over on WWE.com.

Oviously Vince McMahon wasn’t going to give away 1 million dollars of his very own money every week forever…

WWE Officials also stated that updates, including Mr. McMahon’s medical condition, will be reported at the WrestleMania XXV press conference on Tuesday at 1 p.m. in Houston. The press conference will be streamed live on WWE.com.

World Wrestling Entertainment has released a statement this morning addressing the cliffhanger that took place at the end of RAW. From the spin of the statement, it’s likely that the “tragic accident” was, in fact, “staged”… No! Not in wrestling…
