10 WWE Wrestlers Injured By Sheer Negligence Of Wrestling Companies 

good call. Such a traumatic incident 😪

I was going to mention that

Yeah, they used a clip with a max weight limit of I think 70lbs to hold the harness to the zipline

@@DanielDeLeon69 Legally, yes. Martha Hart showed the D-ring they used to hold her 230+ pound husband. Damned thing couldn't have held a puppy to a leash. Owen had done the stunt before seven months earlier, and had every reason to trust the people responsible for him. Idiots changed the gear up on the day to make it "easier" for him to release it on command...

Still can't forget over the edge. Glad we at home didn't see it. RIP Owen

He's just a badass

I'm with you on that. The fire on The Deadman was insane.

And to my knowledge Taker never blamed anyone, instead everyone else went ballistic on Takers behalf

@@zenos02 no. Taker said it himself on Stone Cold's show that he had warned the pyro guy about the pyro burst being too close weeks prior. When it eventually happened he was angry and wanted to make sure the pyro guy got fired.

The goat

No it wasn’t plexiglass, it was still sugar glass but they put some sort of coating on it that made it a lot harder to break

@@GabbyPlaysGames02 Depends on who you believe. I believe the guy that wore the glass

Link or cap

@@I-R_kratos do your own homework!

@@pukeymcphistyJC I did and what you said is completely bogus they used the wrong Glass

I had always heard the story of cactus losing his ear but never the torqued part.

Watch wrestle with Andy cactus Jack documentary it shows it to

How would the torquers know how much to torque It for that?

I thought mick Foley also said they weren't real ropes that's used for wrestling, but actually the wire ropes used in elevator shafts. So they couldn't be moved to free Foley which is why they misjudged the torque, bc those ropes don't work like regular wrestling ropes.

Mick has said wcw used elevator cables or something similiar to them while wwf used regular ropes which is another reason he lost his ear in that match

hahahaha

Not just a broken neck it was a Broken freakin neck

Hhh carried on fighting and finishing the match getting put in the walls of jericho after his horrific leg coming of the bone nd did the same again nd carried on, I rmbr Kurt nd hhh when Kurt got knocked out, bit came bk nd with hunter and stephs help finished that match, both tough as nails, I loved them both, great storylines with them both, serious nd funny stuff 😂

@@theconsigliere8463haha it's true, it's true it's damn true

Certified legend

Yeah. Scream WCW for such heartless feedback.

A torn quad twice and he finished the match. Albeit the second time they massively improvised the finish.

​@@ShiningJudgment666 Wrestled Rock in a LADDER MATCH at Summerslam 98 with a torn ACL. Started a program with Owen late 97 tore his PCL. RVD crushed HHH'S trachea in the first ever Elimination Chamber in 02 with a botched frog splash. Goldberg tore HHH'S groin in 2003. He continued the match at Backlash 00 with Rock after separating his shoulder and breaking a couple of fingers. Fought Undertaker at KOTR 02 with a dislocated elbow. Tore bicep in 2010. Tore a pec in 2018. Also said some of the screws were coming unhinged from his surgically repaired left quad around WM19 time. His doctor asked if it was painful. HHH said, "It's relatively discomforting. But I'll just deal with it." And that's on top of the blood clots he had in his leg after dealing with Steiner. That would explain between Jan-June 03, there would be periods of time even under his knee brace, he still had leg heavily tape near the quad. Must have bothered him summer of 2004 also. I could understand him not wanting to take time off. He had to set an example as a leader. Orton and Batista were already getting off to a bad start getting injured themselves in 2002 and 2003 so early on in their careers. And HHH was hell bent on staying loyal to them and making Evolution a success no matter how many times Vince wanted to kill it.

I think after the first time he went through the glass, Angle said that a ref told him to stop but since he's pretty much deaf in one ear he didn't hear the ref so he kept going.

wrestling was the wild west back then

Seriously. They did him SO dirty especially by firing him while he was laid up like that. I didn't know about that until watching this video. That is deplorable.

that wasnt the fault of WWE though

@@wintertrooper7918 I mean wwe hired nia Jax 😂

That’s it’s own list in itself

@@wintertrooper7918 It was. Vince hired her and pushed her from NXT to the main roster without proper training.

I injure most girls And I don't give a damn If you have a problem you can blame uncle sam

I know right

@Prestin Hurshberry Maybe but accidents happen

@@prestinhurshberry8417 you should be able to walk out as normal and be ready for the crowd he isnt exactly tall so you can imagine at the time you wasnt expecting to be clipped at the side of the head as you walk out

Lol be careful because jobs are pushing for a zero harm policy nowadays.

If we didn't fault people for accidents no one would ever have consequences

Steamboat’s thunk on the concrete floor from a DDT competes.

Yeah same

I was expecting that to be on here

seriously, no one cares if HHH turns into an ice monster during an entrance, not worth the risk

​@@drlax15m L

I’ve never heard this videos version of the story, the story I’ve always heard is triple H came out too early. The dry ice smoke machines were going to bulid up the bulk of the smoke then be turned off so Tripe H could walk through then, but there would still be safe fog machines going to maintain the fog.

According to various people in the wrestling business, Jake's "substance problems" started way before the Honky Tonk Man incident.

@@hooksncrosses3419 Point I was really tryin to make, me being an addict in recovery and pro wrestler myself, addiction has never and should never define us.

Now i wanna know how it happened. Also was it before or after your time travel lol

@@SureshotBowmen Lmfao. Meme dude. Although I am growing even more curious every time I read his posts. Yes I'm a professional wrestling science nerd. Lol. No, I'm not the real John Titor man.

I'm pretty sure that was a blade job. Taker never went deep with his blading.

W.

​@@jamesedmonds7519 Smackdown one was a blade job. The camera cuts away a long time and you can see multiple cuts. The WM one was instant and a shoot.

It was a punishment for Gunn ruining dr deaths push, not saying it was right, but it was intended that he got his brains beat

@@keelhaul3121 spot on. Still, Dr Death wasn’t as tough as advertised apparently Lol

@@sktech76 neither was bradshaw lol

@@keelhaul3121 if you want to push someone in works, don’t hold a shoot tournament and then blame the talent

Bart Gunn looked about as much of a challenge as Johnny Knoxville.

Yes, you are right... Taker did not get injured due to being hit by a real Sledgehammer... He was injured because, the fake Sledgehammer basically fell apart causing the wooden handle to split and he was technically stabbed with splintered wood...

EVERYTIME EXCEPT is NOT everytime

@@troystewart7730 That's what the word "except" quite literally means. That it's an exception.

@@chrisredfield6274 what’s the word EVERYTIME being used for then? Is it not irrelevant?

@@troystewart7730 So how else would you say it? The word "except" does it's job of explaining it was everytime but one.

I'm with you on that 100%

Also finished a match with a torn quad muscle and finished another with a crushed windpipe. What a legend

Owen's incident is very well documented already

Me too

@@zenos02 lmao yeah okay

It's focusing on Injuries not Deaths

Yeah what happened to owen was ridiculous… and i don’t even know why they were doing that entrance for a silly run in. It had no contribution to the storyline. They should have done it once and been done with it

Probably because it has been done to death

he then proceeded to do it again

To be fair, the HITC at that point in time wasn’t designed with the intention of two huge men brawling on top of it. Mick admitted to saying that he lied to Vince when he brought the idea up to him, saying he’d been on top of the structure and felt safe preforming up there. He has a few interviews where he talks about it.

The way undertaker threw him is all you need to know it was definitely planned.

@@anatourney5175 well it was planned for the slam to be on top, but not for the cage to capsize and burst open.

i was gonna say the rock beat him at arm wrestling but thatd be over the top

if they got die rocky die chants during that bout,theyd be curious who the crowd was hating

You got dropped on your head just like Shane O’Mac when you were a baby huh?

Not with the concussion blasts of the pyro, and the heat which would have both melted and shattered the panes, being literally feet from them. Considering the opening display, Angle's three entrances and Kane's, they wouldn't have made it to the semi-main...

It all started the year before at wrestlemania25 when he landed on his head doing the signature dive

@@Squeakypickles619 I always wondered how Undertaker was able to keep going after missing that huge dive - that was pure luck that he didn't break his neck on that one!

She also has a shin injury

dont forgrt he ripped his quadracep and still wrestled

@@shawnbates1804 freaking insane not only continued the match the man took the walls of Jericho like man

@@jontevioscollier2596 and dont forget he later had the same injury on the other leg. if it wasnt for his heart, he would still be wrestling.

She also got her sternum caved-in with a sit-out splash from a Russo Bertha Faye knock-off (in 2010! 🤦‍♂🤦‍♂) and that was less than a year later...that's what essentially ended her career, ruined her health physically, and obviously mentally...

@@tomseville2345 yep! she died either this year or last sadly by her own hands, loved her character , ya after that brain trama it was clear she was never the same and in so much pain the rest of her life, such a shame,

That entire ring set up was a bad idea

A ref also told Angle to not throw Shane through the glass but Kurt is deaf in one ear and didn't hear what the ref said.

@@scorpiusbalthazar4327no Shane told him to throw him through the glass

@anthonycentenogonzalez9627 I got this straight from Kurt himself, a ref told him not to do it but he's deaf in one ear and didn't hear him

@@scorpiusbalthazar4327 go watch an interview with Shane and Kurt they literally talk about how Shane was just fucking mad and just wanted Kurt to throw him through that fucking glass

@@anthonycentenogonzalez9627 I have, it's where I got what I'm saying from. Kurt himself said that a ref told him not to do it but he's deaf in one ear and didn't hear him. One thing I forgot to mention is that this was after he got thrown through the glass the first time.

Plexiglass Definitely wouldn’t have broke

@@ich4bdm I've seen plexiglass break just by putting it on the ground. It exploded a second later and then kept popping like popcorn.

@@scorpiusbalthazar4327 then that wasn’t plexiglass. It can break but it doesn’t shatter.

@@ich4bdm then what was it? It looked and felt just like plexiglass.

Unlaminated tempered glass doesn't break into shards but into pebble sized pieces. Plexiglass is tough, but will break into shards if is thin enough.

That was planned for a storyline though

@@kylenewton4918 see, I didn't know.that. i saw it and freaked out when I was a kid lol

I always wondered about that kind of thing: I remember seeing Goldberg's entrance in WCW, where he'd literally stand in the middle of a shower of sparks. How did that never burn him?

@@chrishargreaves8016 from what I remember reading, he would pour water on himself before the entrance and that protected him just enough to do that part, but I may be misremembering

Definitely. I reckon that AEW wrestlers are going to have a shorter lifespan than everyone else, comparible to ECW.

AEW wrestlers get hurt so often that I swear you can use it as a drunk game while watching their new shows.

@@ferox965 agreed.

@@andrewfantome4020 yep.

@@andrewfantome4020yeah it’s weird though how its mostly wwe ex superstars getting injured mostly. Some aew wrestler are also it seems like but obviously not but it seems like their hurting opponents on purpose. Some of them are inexperienced too but booked as a top star so they don’t care and go wit the flow. Greenies.

Dude his entrance is bending down and walking and humping up And when he does that , it's not easy to know where it's gonna hit him go bleed

He got something similar in a spot with a chair against Shinsuke Nakamura at Wrestlemania. Cut his head on accident and you could see Styles trying to get his hands up to deflect the chair, which has flying towards him.

Yeah, he took so many painkillers in that year to convince the WWF he was ready for a full-time contract. He clearly wasn't...

It’s about injuries not deaths

Shane earned everyone's respect backstage over and over throughout his career. He made sure no one would ever call him 'daddy's son'. He didn't even need to do it, he was already a millionaire and could have just done managerial work at wwe.. but he showed them he was serious about wrestling and making a name for himself.. Mad respect.

Undertaker bladed on Smackdown.

Yeah he misjudged the height of the entrance opening, which is saying something since AJ is about the average height of WWE's wrestlers so it could've happened to almost any of them

Yeah Triple H would just cuff his hand over The head of the sledgehammer to cushion the blow

looks like bladejob to me by taker

JEEEZZZUUUSSS

Honestly that whole match was negligent as hell. Mick basically said he wanted to get tossed off the cage and they said "great!" then proceeded to do zero prep to make it safe for anybody involved.

If he wasn’t supposed to go thru the top, how were they gonna get back down into the ring? They still had to get to the spot with the tacks. Taker wasn’t gonna throw him off thru another announce table. I doubt they would just anti-climatically, slowly climb down the cell. Where Taker was standing, the way taker barely lifted him, the way foley barely jumped, the way the cage perfectly broke, I just can’t believe he wasn’t supposed to go through. How would they have gotten back down after the choke slam?

That's still hard to watch knowing it's real
