Top 10 most gruesome pro wrestling injuries

Not really sure what possessed me to do this post. I think that maybe it was the fact that I was talking to my wrestling guy over at Epic Carnival about WrestleMania and Floyd Mayweather and I got to wondering what would happen if "Money" got hurt during one of the skits. Anyway, I did some looking around and came up with some really nasty stuff from various pro wrestling outfits. Warning: some of these are realllly hard to watch... Enjoy!

Wow. This was not done well at all...


Brock Lesnar about kills someone...


Why Brock Lesnar doesn't wrestle anymore. Broken neck anyone?


At least he hurt himself as well...


Speaking of hurting yourself... Hayabusa!


Remember Chris Benoit? Before he murdered, he broke necks...


Randy Savage, obviously high on something to do this...


Speaking of having to be high to do something...


Dude reportedly broke his neck with this one... awful to watch...


And probably the most gruesome one of all... Psycho Sid... oh my...


So were you able to stomach them all in one sitting? If you did, wow... you have a cast-iron stomach.

Just goes to show you that no matter how staged something is, there can be nasty consequences. Good luck, Floyd!

And I know there were plenty of ECW, XPW, backyard wrestling and the like I could have shown, but I tried my best to stay away from the gimmick matches and stick with more flukey injuries rather than staged acts of insanity, in case you were curious.

UPDATE: Okay, I had to add one more... it pays to come back to on205th.com!!



Big ups to the handsome John Barbera, who was responsible for most of these clips.

Frank Mir vs. Brock Lesnar at yesterday's UFC 81

Brock Lesnar made his UFC debut yesterday. He started out well, but the match ended quickly as Frank Mir locked him into a kneebar submission 90 seconds into the fight. Hurry up and watch it before it is removed.



The written summary of the bout can be read here.

Brock Lesnar to debut soon in the UFC

Are you excited? Do you care? If nothing else I find it fascinating to see how he does and how the UFC hardcores respond to him.



I find it interesting that this clip was from TNA, a pro wrestling outfit, and not done on a UFC telecast of some sort. Maybe they are trying to get some crossover viewers. Is that really a good idea, though?
