20 extremely painful injuries that almost killed WWE wrestlers (With Pictures)

2. Stone Cold Gets Temporarily Paralyzed

Stone Cold Steve Austin suffered his fair share of injuries in the ring, but the most notable and horrifying of them all was the one sustained during a match against Owen Hart at 1997’s Summerslam. A botched pile-driver resulted in Stone Cold falling on his head and neck, resulting in temporarily paralysis, numbness, and pain. Amazingly, he finished the match and defeated Hart. This could have easily killed the Texas Rattlesnake or even killed him, but he ended up being very fortunate after the event. He did temporarily retire and took months to fully recover from this intense and painful injury.
