idk if this has been asked/talked about yet, if not then here it is.
We've all heard of the Madden Curse. The cover athlete always gets injured in the same year as its released.
Well ever since Smackdown vs. RAW debuted, this same thing has happened.
Heres the order of the games, the person on the cover, and the injury sustained.
Smackdown vs. RAW on the cover: Vince McMahon. injured: Royal Rumble 2005 (blown out both knees)
Smackdown vs. RAW 2006 on the cover: Batista injured: Batista on SD! (attack from Mark Henry) (note: So what Cena didnt get injured. just as long as one of them were injured)
Smackdown vs. RAW 2007 on the cover: Triple H and Rey Mysterio injured: Triple H @ NYR 2007 (torn quad) injured: Rey Mysterio (needed time off for surgury)
UPDATE! The new cover's out, and theres already an injury. Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 on the cover: Undertaker and Lashley injured: Undertaker @ Backlash (muscle tear; prior to cover release, not SvR related, but notable) injured: Lashley @ RAW (mucsle tear two or so weeks after the box art is released)
So there you have it. at least one person on the cover of every Smackdown vs. RAW game has been injured within the span of a year after its release box art is released.
Sure its only three games, but thats what people probably said during the first few injuries of the Madden curse.
So what do you guys think of this? Surley its all coincidental, but do you think it will carry on as long as the games bear the name Smackdown vs. RAW? I think so, seeing as every top superstar manages to mess up some how.

Yea now that I think of it, It's true. I have been collecting the Smackdown games since the WWF smackdown for the PS1 and havn't missed bought another one..All the way up to SD VS RAW 07. And I have bought all of the SD VS RAW the day it came out since Here comes the pain but now Im tired of them...

With the Cena cover point, he injured all of our eyes with his Wrestling ability. Does that count?

It's not as bad as the William Regal curse.
- Crash Holly beat William Regal in the United Kingdom for the European championship on a televised show... now Crash Holly is dead. - Test eliminated William Regal from the 2001 Royal Rumble match... recently Test was suspended probably for steroids, was then involved in a car crash before finally being fired. - Paul Burchill pinned William Regal numerous times during their feud and forced him to dress up in embarrassing costumes... Burchill then got injured. - Triple H mauled William Regal with a sledgehammer on more than one occasion... Now Triple H suffers the worst injury of his career another time.
etc. etc.

Also, Lesnar was on HCTP, and his career went downhill ever since. And when HHH got hurt in 01, wasn't he on the cover of a SD game?

And when HHH got hurt in 01, wasn't he on the cover of a SD game? most likley but then if i include SD: HCTP! then i would have to include the other SD! games, which have gaps where wrestlers DIDNT get hurt. only the SVR games have injuries year after year.
