16. Dolph Ziggler Gets Not One, But Two, Concussions in One Year
The WWE’s Wellness Policy is in place to make sure that every wrestler is healthy enough to enter the ring. One of the rules of the policy is that anyone with a concussion can’t wrestle – which was unfortunate for Dolph Zigger, who received a concussion back in January 2014, his second in just one year. After a match with Ryback, Ziggler was sidelined after he sustained a concussion. The previous April, Jack Swagger kicked Ziggler several times in the head, resulting in a concussion that put him out of commission for several months. Concussions are one of the most common – and dangerous – injuries seen in the WWE, and can easily end a wrestler’s career, or even their life.

15. Marty Garner Almost Kills Himself
In 1996, a relatively unknown wrestler by the name of Marty Garner faced Triple H, one of the most well-known Superstars in the business. When Triple H tried to perform the signature Pedigree maneuver, Garner misjudged his move, threw out his legs, did not prepare for the impact on the mat, and ended up throwing himself down on his head and neck, resulting in a spinal contusion. Even though video clearly shows the error was on Garner, he still chose to pursue a lawsuit against the organization for his injuries. Garner and the company settled the dispute out of court.
