The WWF is really hurting, with so many performers on the shelf with injury!

Lita will be out due to neck surgery for 9 months. Scotty 2 Hotty is out due to a similar surgery for a year.

Add that to Mike Awesome (torn ACL, back within a few months, Chris Kanyon (similar injury, also still out), Rhyno (neck surgery, out for a few months more)... you've got quite a chunk of talent missing from the roster for a long time to come.
