john laurinaitis was the one who suggested sid come off the top rope. guess who also suggested brock lesnar do a shooting star press at wm19? same dude.
As decent of a producer Johnny Ace was as hes one of ppl responsible for the match quality improving and letting the Wrestlers have more time in ring in 2000 and 2001 but some of his descions were just bad calls as one of the reasons he wanted Brock to pull that shooting star press according to JR was to take credit for the ending
That injury happened at the first ever WWE Over The Limit pay-per-view in May 2010 in Randy's match against Edge. That had multiple superstars get injured. CM Punk was another one who got injured that night in his match against Rey Mysterio (that was during Mysterio & Punk's feud in which CM Punk was attempting to recruit Rey Mysterio into his Straight Edge Society faction, yet their feud began all over the fact that Rey cost CM Punk a Money In The Bank qualifying match to go on & compete at WrestleMania XXVI(26)).
Orton's separated shoulder from just pounding the mat to set up an RKO should be on here. Same with Rock kicking out from a Cena move at WM29 and tearing his abs/adductor.
Honorable mentions: 1. Christopher Nowinski (double missile dropkick). This happened at the Royal Rumble in the Rumble match. 2. Kevin Nash (walking across the ring to his opponents corner to knock someone off the apron). This occurred in July 2002 during a tag team match.
@4:45 christian also suffered a major injury doing a baseball slide. he suffered a high ankle sprain. doctors and athletes have said it is better to break your ankle than a high ankle sprain.
@@acetarlton4047 you ain’t lying. I managed to go the first 26 years of my life or so without breaking any bones. Then within a year and a half span broke 3, cracked rib, broken nose and broken hand. Never went to doctor for any, didn’t have any insurance at the time unfortunately. But they all healed in a few months or so. Then, shortly after the last, had a really dumb bicycle accident, where I didn’t break any bones thankfully. It was a pretty cool landing, as I basically did a baseball slide and managed to pop up and actually end up landing on my feet. My knee was a bit skinned up, but a week later after the sting of that stopped hurting, I started noticing a pain in my shoulder. That pain was the tendon torn completely off the bone. Over a decade later it still hurts, quite a bit. Surgery was recommended, but everyone I’ve ever talked to that had that surgery regrets having it. So I just deal with it. 😢
Definitely getting it off with something terrible. I remember watching Sid snap his leg live back in the day. I was 14, and Never watched the clip again in the 13 years since, once is enough thank you.
I think it's easy to forget when they do it every week every year for decades at the highest level of skill and knowledge, but they're literally putting their lives on the line everytime they step into a squared circle
The injury was so bad that he had to put a 17 inch rod on his broken leg and the doctors weren't even sure if he would be able to fully recover from it, but fortunately after around three years of rehab not only did Sid fully recover from the injury but also he was able to wrestle again.
Hunter going through both matches with 2 separate quad injuries is an incredibly respectable feat and realky showed how much of a legit tough guy he was and how he was willing to put the business beyond his own health and wellbeing
I wonder if Victoria's slap is what caused Beth Phoenix to be out of action for the rest of 2006 & most of 2007 until Beth returned during Summer 2007, that time as a heel(villain), joined forces with Melina & started to form her character shortly after as "The Glamazon."
Craziest part of Sid’s leg break is, I do t think they showed it on the PPV. Iirc, they cut away from it. But then, on Nitro, they showed it 5 times each from like 3 different camera angles.
I remember watching Nitro and seeing Sid come off the middle rope and land on his foot and it dangling there. that was insane!! of course that was just a recap from the previous nights PPV.
Oh Yeah, 5:14 I remember this, it happened right when I first started watching AEW and I didn't really even know who FTR were at the time, when they came back they were literally "That team with the guy that tore his arm open" for about a week until I finally realized who they were. That feels like it was both not that long ago but also a really long time ago. 😅👍
The match didn't exactly continue around Sid. Jarrett didn't keep working. JJ had been tossed out of the ring before the Bret's rope leap, and he didn't get back in until the match ended. The only working he did was posing after the match. Steiner had to stall for time while the mystery man, Animal, walked down to the ring. Steiner did a couple of moves which didn't require moving Sid (a foot choke and an elbow drop) and some push-ups. Also, given that Sid couldn't move, it wasn't "adding insult to injury" for him to take the pin; he had to take the pin. He was taking the pin anyway, presumably after being hit with a gimmick by Animal whose identity was hidden (and yet completely meaningless when revealed).
Believe me you get into an actual scrap don't throw punches, you'll more than likely end up with busted knuckles, an open palm slap though you can put a hell of a lot of force behind it, case in point Beth's jaw.
I thought the Simon Gotch story was about the time in NXT when Enzo broke his leg during some rote sequence and blamed it on the ring canvas being loose.
@@DeanMoxley87HHH wasn't high enough on the card to warrant that booking during the invasion. He didn't have that amount of clout until well after his 01 return.
Maven did the same like RVD, broke his leg doing baseball slide during a match with Christian, and he continued the match until the end. What's worse is that he said he did baseball slide practically his whole life because he was a baseball player and only got wrong in his WWE run
Me being a medic for almost 20 years and now a trauma nurse, injuries like the one Sid had don't usually bother me. But the more I watched it, the more I get that cringe tingling feeling in my body. Yeah...Definitely one of the worst injuries I've seen happen live
Bret Hart is not in the right. Goldberg has apologized several times. Hes also not the one who smacked his head on the concrete or tried to wrestle more matches after that one. Bret pushed an injury, it is his fault.
Don't forget Shotzi when she did the DDT on the ring apron against Lyra Valkyria for the NXT Women's Championship on the February 20th episode of NXT. Ultimately out of action for the rest of the year as the injury bug continues to ruin everything

Triple gay is full corruption
If Kevin Nash becomes a vampire and lives to be 1000 years old, he'd still probably couldn't go a day without hearing quad jokes.
Ofc not he still gonna be breaking quads forever!
Thats why Victoria's theme starts with "I ain't the lady to mess with" 😄
One I'll never forget is when Orton injured / re-injured his shoulder just from pounding his fists on the mat.
Or taking out the trash I think

My god Cash Wheeler's arm getting gashed by the turnbuckle was on of the most bloodiest spots I've ever seen. I also can't believe the match continued
I can .. it's AEW 😂
Matt Hardy literally bounced his skull off a concrete floor and they didn't stop a match
@@ThePs3fanboi true and Mox bleeds every week
@@zanethindyea bc if yk how blood and skin works you’d know why
@@zayyysrandom1347 yeah

I can't believe Kevin Nash isn't on this list even once
*KEVIN NASH* :Making a hot tag!
Kevin Nash should have his own list
Honorable mentions:
1. Christopher Nowinski (double missile dropkick). This happened at the Royal Rumble in the Rumble match.
2. Kevin Nash (walking across the ring to his opponents corner to knock someone off the apron). This occurred in July 2002 during a tag team match.

Bones heal really well; ligaments, muscles, and connective tissue….not so much

It was too painful to watch Sid like that.
Wrestling is dangerous wrestlers dont get enough credit
True
I think it's easy to forget when they do it every week every year for decades at the highest level of skill and knowledge, but they're literally putting their lives on the line everytime they step into a squared circle
Not only do they not get credit for what they do they also don't get paid enough for the things they do.
Im an absolute disgust when somebody uses the "F bomb" to describe wrestling. It's predecided, but it's highly athletic and highly dangerous.
@@zanethind 👍
Bret Hart telling Goldberg “you know this all pretend, right?” on Who Killed WCW? made roll on the floor laughing 😂
I still cringe when I see Sid literally snap his leg in half. I can’t imagine how long the recovery process must’ve been from that 😬
Yeah
The injury was so bad that he had to put a 17 inch rod on his broken leg and the doctors weren't even sure if he would be able to fully recover from it, but fortunately after around three years of rehab not only did Sid fully recover from the injury but also he was able to wrestle again.

Yeah the man was going iron man mode
Also when his larynx got crushed in the first Elimination Chamber match
And wrestled Brock at WM 29 after getting his torso burnt by dry ice during the damn entrance Triple H is tough as hell.
Kevin Nash: walking to tag his partner.
😂
Where is Kevin Nash: walking?
Damn victoria must have hands made of stone
I wonder if Victoria's slap is what caused Beth Phoenix to be out of action for the rest of 2006 & most of 2007 until Beth returned during Summer 2007, that time as a heel(villain), joined forces with Melina & started to form her character shortly after as "The Glamazon."
The Sid leg break is so narly. Just nope.
Yeah
You forgot Randy orton injuring himself taunting for the Rko
Super surprised PAC/Neville’s leg break in that match with Jericho wasn’t in here.
I was surprised Big Cass didn’t make the list. Tore his ACL going over the top rope and landing on his feet. Really standard big man spot.
I wish Shanes Wrestlemania injury was there cause it was a simple leap
Craziest part of Sid’s leg break is, I do t think they showed it on the PPV. Iirc, they cut away from it. But then, on Nitro, they showed it 5 times each from like 3 different camera angles.
I guess it would be more fun to traumatize the bigger audience than just the ppv buyers
I remember watching Nitro and seeing Sid come off the middle rope
and land on his foot and it dangling there. that was insane!! of course
that was just a recap from the previous nights PPV.
Legend has it Kevin Nash tore his quad rolling over in bed. 😮
Rob Van Dam got injured on my birthday
😢
Oh Yeah, 5:14
I remember this, it happened right when I first started watching AEW and I didn't really even know who FTR were at the time, when they came back they were literally "That team with the guy that tore his arm open" for about a week until I finally realized who they were.

Honorable mention to Maven for breaking his ankle performing a baseball slide
It wasn't a wrestling move but I remember Ember Moon/Athena injured her foot during one of those 24/7 Title chasing segemets.
The match didn't exactly continue around Sid. Jarrett didn't keep working. JJ had been tossed out of the ring before the Bret's rope leap, and he didn't get back in until the match ended. The only working he did was posing after the match.

New Day sitting there eating popcorn watching enzo unconscious was such a surreal moment
"A slap from Victoria can easily shatter your jaw" just sounds like a foregone conclusion tbh
I'm surprised you didn't have Kevin Nash getting into the ring on here.
Adrian Neville also broke his ankle on a baseball slide
An honourable mention should go to The Undertaker suffering a concussion after taking a German Suplex against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XXX
r-truth also knocked out ted dibiase jr with a slap.
Believe me you get into an actual scrap don't throw punches, you'll more than likely end up with busted knuckles, an open palm slap though you can put a hell of a lot of force behind it, case in point Beth's jaw.
Kevin Nash tore his quad by walking. Wrestling a serious business.
By walking 🤭
Bryan Danielson, Receiving an top rope elbow, AEW Forbidden Door 2023
I thought the Simon Gotch story was about the time in NXT when Enzo broke his leg during some rote sequence and blamed it on the ring canvas being loose.
Surely Vince climbing into the ring and doing his legs in should be on this list?
Sami Zayn getting injured during his entrance is always one that I think about
That was scary
Man these injuries and others suck.
Beth Phoenix is a beast, and Victoria broke her jaw when a slap. Yes, it was an accident. But it's also proof of how strong Victoria was.
I did not know they continued the fucking match and PINNED THE MAN WITH THE SNAPPED LEG!
What the actual fuck...
Poor Sid.
I thought 9 out of the 10 would be Kevin Nash
Rhea Ripley... Bumping into a wall.
Rip Sid Vicious
For every like this gets I'll do a elbow drop off the top rope.
3 elbow drops so far
@@zanethind now it's five😂
@@mile215 yeah
Seriously a warning before showing Sid's leg would have been nice
Wait, is buttered bread and boiled eggs something people eat together? Thats weird.
Misawa???
Not even started video, tell me Kevin Nash is on the list?
Worst was Shane McMahon getting into the ring 😂
I really wish Triple H didn't get injured
Same although it'd made for a great return and pop
It was kinda a relief in 01, can you imagine how the Invasion Angle would have played out, Trips goes one on 60 and wins in convincing fashion.
@@DeanMoxley87HHH wasn't high enough on the card to warrant that booking during the invasion. He didn't have that amount of clout until well after his 01 return.
@jimbo_1312 think we was watching the different program them back in 01.
and then he broke his leg when he jumped from really high height despite knowing himself how stupid the stunt was.
old man punk got injured off a ddt hahahahah
69th view
@8:48 I just lost all respect for you! You clearly only know how to upload youtube videos.
Maven did the same like RVD, broke his leg doing baseball slide during a match with Christian, and he continued the match until the end. What's worse is that he said he did baseball slide practically his whole life because he was a baseball player and only got wrong in his WWE run
I’m surprised Kevin Nash isn’t in this list.
PAC (was Neville when it happened) also broke his ankle doing a baseball slide against Jericho
Still so dumb how WCW wanted Sid to do a flying move when he was not trained in that and that was never him 🙄
I always wonder why Sid would jump off the second rope and deliver a big boot. He's 6 foot 9 inches! Should deliver a big boot no problem!
Thanks 🎉
The dreaded non contact injury is usually the most devastating in sports
Just imagine Van Dam vs. Awesome at that time. Would've been legendary.
Remember Vince blading at SS 2003 he was litreally pissing blood everywhere and his face was a mess for a few weeks after that event.
2:32 never attempted to leapfrog again.
Edge in double or nothing 2024:
2:38 "That last part is probably almost certainly not true but it sounded dramatic"
Who said Enzo's name? Gotch isn't far behind...
Calling it now, number one is Kevin Noah’s blowing his quad just walking.
Edit: The fuck?
Me being a medic for almost 20 years and now a trauma nurse, injuries like the one Sid had don't usually bother me. But the more I watched it, the more I get that cringe tingling feeling in my body. Yeah...Definitely one of the worst injuries I've seen happen live
You missed Sami Zayn tearing a muscle during his entrance against Cena
I was expecting Sid to be number 1
Bret Hart is not in the right. Goldberg has apologized several times. Hes also not the one who smacked his head on the concrete or tried to wrestle more matches after that one. Bret pushed an injury, it is his fault.
That edge injury was at the San Diego sports arena. I was in the first row. Knew it was bad as soon as he landed
Kevin Nash should’ve been number one because his simple move was just walking over his opponent
Adam: Maybe this company (WCW) deserved to go out of business....
Me: You think?!
Omg
You forgot Kevin Nash running and breaking his knee in 2003
That should've been no.1
What about kevin nash tearin a quad walking😂 or vince tearing both quads
Where's Kevin's quad tear?
Wrestle Me, SCHWING!
Don't forget Shotzi when she did the DDT on the ring apron against Lyra Valkyria for the NXT Women's Championship on the February 20th episode of NXT. Ultimately out of action for the rest of the year as the injury bug continues to ruin everything
Edge did Shane McMahon at wrestlemania
WHY did you start with Sid WHY
