4. Edge’s Injuries Force Him to Retire
During the Attitude Era, Edge was one of the most prominent wrestlers in the ring. However, he was also one that suffered from a lot of physical injuries, including back problems that resulted in a major surgery in 2003. Despite the surgery, Edge continued to compete in matches until 2011. At that time, he was suffering from numbness and trembling resulting from his fused vertebrae. Doctors told him that continuing to compete in matches could result in a tear of the fusion and paralysis. After learning this, Edge stepped down and retired as a wrestler after a long 13-year career in the industry.
3. Mick Foley Gets a Lucky Break
Wrestling fans will never forget the 1998 King of the Ring event that was the setting for one of the worst injuries in the history of the WWE. In the Hell in a Cell match, Undertaker tossed Mick Foley, wrestling under the persona of Mankind, off of the 16-foot steel cage and into a table. The moment stands out in history as one of the most heart-stopping moments in wrestling. The end-results for Foley were a dislocated shoulder, cuts, dislocated jaw, hole in his lip, and a concussion. As bad as it was, however, it’s certainly a miracle that did not break his neck or get killed in this over-the-top, unforgettable wrestling moment.
