The WWE is an interesting beast. On paper, it's pure theater with rehearsed and choreographed wrestling matches. In reality... it turns out there are some pretty brutal injuries that actually occur. Today I decided to look at a series of real injuries that plagued wrestlers. We look at Logan Paul's torn MCL in his knee, John Cena's broken nose, Bianca Belair's hair whip and black eye, Bret Hart's career-ending concussion, Candice Michelle's broken collarbone, Cody Rhodes pectoral tear, Randy Orton's separated shoulder, Dwayne The Rock Johnson's torn adductors, Triple H's dry ice burns, Stone Cold Steve Austin's broken neck, and the unforgettable 16 foot fall from Mick Foley at the hand of The Undertaker. Let me know down below exactly how much of this stuff is actually scripted vs. improvised because at this point I'm kind of lost.

In regards to Cody and how the WWE let him do this, apparently, according to the man himself, he and the match producers asked the doctors if it was still possible to do the match. They stared at him in confused horror and said "Well, the injury *literally* cannot get any worse. It is entirely torn and separated, whatever happens it can't get worse. So...I guess????"

It was also the week of the PPV. The guy either the dry ice HHH or Paul runs it now and he blew both quads He’s a big fan. So kind of inspired him. Then after the PPV he went and got the surgery. Cody says he couldn’t watch it. There is one bump in particular that he said he almost threw up and past out. It was metal but uncomfortable AF. Taking a bump is like getting hit in car crash going 30 mph. He deserves the title. 😂

It just looked awful. It made the audience feel uncomfy but actually that is what made it brilliant. Especially since the fan base is young.

My cousin is involved in the more local professional wrestling scene. He used to just be a wrestler, but now mostly sticks to organizing and setting up stuff. He had to take a long break because they had an accident with a chair, it was supposed to be a fake hit over the head, but something happened. It hit him fully in the head, causing a bad concussion and lacerations to his head. He ended up with several stitches and staples in his skull and having to take almost a full year off until his was medically cleared.

He took a direct hit to the back? I’m sorry. So you hit the back it’s self. To protect the head. You only hit the head when the guys facing you. So if we are facing each other that is when they give a head shot. Other wise it’s all back. You can take the chair tip and put it against the chest and “fake” like it’s on the throat but it’s not. Sounds like the guy that gave the shot didn’t know proper way. Hopefully someone corrected him because indies are crazy.

Yes that is Mr. Foley’s two biggest bumps in the cage with the UnderTaker but let’s remember he’s been in wrestling a long time. First match was in 1983 and he’s taking a lot of bumps since then as Cactus Jack , Dude Love and Mankind. Hell , Foley was in Germany wrestling Vader and performed the hangman where he twisted his head and neck in the ropes and he’s hanging by his neck. When he finally got out it ripped his ear off ! What’s also amazing about Mick Foley. He walks unassisted and gets up out of a chair with little hesitation for what he has put his body through and now a man of 58 years old….. And maybe , just maybe more than an Icon. At one time the fans used to hold up signs that read “Foley is God”

Awesome episode for a wrestling fan like me. Dr. Mike mentions not knowing how they can tell legit injuries during the Candice Michelle injury. It actually shows Candice not squeezing the refs hand. He also alludes to that being the finish with the pin versus a let’s finish this and get her help moment. Additionally with the Bret concussion it doesn’t show him hitting the ring post which dazed Bret preventing him from actually blocking Goldberg’s kick.

They could also have shown some, like Droz’ neck injury from a minor D.Lo Brown botch, that instantly ended careers (Droz is quadriplegic), or even LIVES (Mitsuharu Misawa died in the ring after a spinal injury from a routine back supplex, one of many THOUSAND that he had successfully sustained during his long career in Japan)

​@RODley Pumpkins it's the same as how there are dancers of different skill levels. Like in dancing, there are techniques that are more dangerous and require more skill to execute. More skilled wrestlers are able to execute a repertoire of more dangerous and more visually pleasing techniques in their matches, and so are able to perform "better" more entertaining matches for the fans. Candice Michelle started out relying purely on her sex appeal to entertain. But before she had that injury, she was making leaps and bounds in developing her wrestling technique and was on the verge of being known as more than a "model first, wrestler second."

Knee injuries are common in wrestling, this is why a lot of wrestlers wear multiple knee paddings, knee pads, layered knee wraps etc, it's harder to move in them but gives their knee that extra protection. Also most of their practice is on how to land properly while doing their moves, stunts, falls etc. But Mick Foley is a different kind of animal altogether.
@duffman18
@duffman18 7 місяців тому
Yeah you see a lot of wrestlers wear these big metal knee braces. Stone Cold Steve Austin was famous for needing them just to be able to walk and run around the ring. Hulk Hogan also used them for the last few years of his career, painted red and yellow of course lol. And yeah while some of the things wrestlers wear is purely aesthetic, a lot of it really has real practical purposes. Like the kind of boots they wear, they mainly need boots in the first place as opposed to something like basketball sneakers, because it keeps their angle straight, so that they don't land on it wrong and sprain it. It's just a thick boot that gives stability to the whole joint. And some wrestlers even go beyond that, like Shawn Michaels was always known for wearing motocross boots, which were even thicker and sturdier than regular wrestling boots, I think they have metal inside them, cos they're meant to give stability and assurance to people on motorcycles doing big leaps in the air and potentially landing on their feet from 10-15ft up in the air. Mind you, some wrestlers DO wear basketball sneakers, like John Cena for example, and some wrestlers don't wear any kind of footwear at all, like Yokozuna and other Samoan wrestlers like him. They are more at risk of spraining an ankle than guys who wear the thick boots, but it's ultimately a personal choice. If they don't mind the risk, then it's fine, cos it's not like there's a uniform requirement like there is in, say, MMA. And a lot of guys wrap up their hands/wrists with boxing tape like boxers do, they just don't put boxing gloves on over the top at that point cos it's impossible to wrestle with boxing gloves on. Because while they aren't setting out to deliberately hurt one another, they do pretty much still punch each other, they make contact, with some guys doing so more than others (which is called working "stiff", where they make their punches look as real as possible, by actually making the punches real, not full out trying to hit them as hard as possible, but still making contact, to the point where guys do get hurt from them often). So they tape up their wrists for the same reason boxers do, because if you punch someone and your wrist flops about, you cnw sprain your wrist and it can be sore for weeks and prevent you from wrestling for a while, so they wrap the tape around their wrists to give it stability and keep it straight and strong. But yeah probably most of what wrestlers wear is just aesthetic only. Like Ric Flair always used to wear "knee" pads around his calves, instead of over his knees, leaving his knees completely bare. This was purely because he was embarrassed about his very skinny calves and so wore the knee pads to make them look much more thicc

I remembered watching a clip a while back from a wrestling documentary in the late 90s(?) featuring Terry Funk where it showed his life "post-retirement" which included him going to doctors who told him that his knee was essentially gone only for Funk to immediately ask him will he ever be able to wrestle again. Funk would then wrestle for an ECW PPV a week later & would continue to wrestle in some degrees up until 2017 after going in-and-out of retirement 7-9 times throughout his 50 year wrestling career before finally passing away back in August at 79.

@@syahmikadira6832 that was the documentary film Beyond The Mat that you're talking about, which is a much watch for everybody, not just wrestling fans, because it's that damn good, and it's incredibly eye opening for the people who think they're smart by constantly just saying "UmMm dOn't yOu kNoW, tHaT WrEsTlInG Is fAkE!?!?" as if there's any wrestling fans in the world who don't already know that. It's pre determined, yeah, but people still get hurt, and hurt bad, all the time. Like if I remember right, Beyond The Mat has a section about the wrestler known as Droz. He became completely paralysed from the neck down because of a botch that happened in a match against D'Lo Brown (a "botch" is a mistake, that often ends up hurting one or both wrestlers involved, examples would be for instance giving someone a pile driver, but when holding them upside down they slip a little bit and so you actually do jam their head and neck into the mat which you're not supposed to actually do if you want to give a safe piledriver. This is what happened to Stone Cold Steve Austin where Owen Hart botched a piledriver, and Austin landed on his head hard, and it broke his neck, which led to his very early retirement only a few years later, because even after the neck had healed, there was so much nerve damage that he could no longer feel his feet and hands). Anyway yeah, for all those idiots, they should try talking to Droz and tell him "wrestling is fake", then they'd quickly find out how real it actually is. His quadriplegia isn't fake, it's completely real, sadly. And actually, he died this year anyway, at only age 54, because of complications from being completely paralysed. But yeah anyway, watch the documentary Beyond The Mat, because it's brilliant, it's amazing. They talk with Terry Funk about this exact thing for a big chunk of the documentary, about how he'd already by that point "retired" and then unretired like a dozen times, and at one point in the film he says this retirement will definitely be his final retirement and that he's never coming back again, but then at the very end of the documentary there's some text on the screen saying that Terry Funk has, of course, come out of retirement yet again. I think that's how they revealed that, anyway, it's been years since I've watched it myself. But I think I'm gonna watch it again today because discussing it has made me want to see it again. Definitely give it a watch. As well as covering the career of Terry Funk, they also go over the careers of people like Mick Foley and The Rock. Even today, it's still one of the most amazing sources of the behind the scenes of the WWF. You see stuff that even today we never see, even though these days the WWE has made many behind the scenes documentaries of their own, even despite that, Beyond The Mat is still absolutely fascinating.

She actually had to retire from that collarbone injury, sadly. The referee should have stopped the match, they all have the power to do so, for real. If someone is legitimately injured, they throw up their arms in a big "X" sign and the medics and doctors come down to the ring and stretcher them out of there. If they'd done that instead of dragging her and pinning her, then maybe Candace Michelle wouldn't have been forced to retire. It's a shame really. I don't think it's Beth Phoenix's fault necessarily, she probably didn't know what to do, or thought Candace Michelle was more OK than she actually was, and most of time when anything like this happens, the wrestler does panic and doesn't really know what to do (like look at the time Seth Rollins injured Sting with a buckle bomb and pretty much ended Sting's career, sort of (he still kinda wrestles these days, just always in tag matches and he doesn't take loads of bumps or anything), Seth Rollins was clearly panicking after that happened, or for another example look at when Owen Hart broke Steve Austin's neck). Really the ref should have immediately gone over to Candace and asked her if she was OK, and chosen to end the match there and then. Yeah, it can look kind of awkward when they do that because it's immediately breaking the 4th wall and ending the scripted part of the show and treating the injury as a real one, because it IS a real injury. But wrestling fans don't want to see wrestlers genuinely hurt, it's not like they'd complain about the storyline being prematurely ended due to an accident, they'd simply want them to be OK and healthy, that's the only important thing there. As to why the ref didn't just end the match for real, and throw up the X sign, who knows. The refs all have earpieces in their ears that allow them to hear everyone backstage and talk with them, so he could have very easily and quickly got the real paramedics to come out with a stretcher. Better safe than sorry.

Candice did not respond to the hand squeeze so he knew she was out and told Beth to pin her right away to end the match. Nobody at the time realized her collarbone was broken as well, hence dragging Candice to make the pin easier, but making the injury worse.

This video actually reminded me. My grandpa on my dad's side was actually permanently paralyzed from the shoulder down excluding the tips of his fingers. He was hired as a WWE Jobber which is basically just a fake actor but when a move went wrong he ended up breaking his neck and becoming paralyzed. If you, for any reason, would like to see the story as well as videos etc. His name is Chuck Austin and it's some of the top videos.

Hey, Mike. To answer your question on how the referees tell if the wrestlers are selling or actually injured, you'll notice after a big spot (going through a table, falling off a ladder, etc.) or something that looks like a real injury, that the ref will always go up to them and put their hand in the wrestler's hand. If the wrestler squeezes the ref's hand, that communicates to the ref that they're okay. If the wrestler doesn't squeeze the ref's hand, the ref will throw up an "X" sign to end the match or tel the others that the wrestler is injured. Sorry If that was hard to understand, I'm pretty bad at explaining.

A few things to note for those that don’t know. In the video with Randy Orton dislocating his shoulder, you can see the ref making an “x”. That means it’s a legit injury and not a “work” (fake). Generally speaking, those matches will get stopped or rushed to a finish for the health and safety of the performers. Also, anytime any spot (move) is done and it looks like a potential injury, the ref or other wrestlers will check on them. Typically it’s a squeeze of a finger to let the other person know that they are ok. Looked worse than it was, etc… just here to inform!

The one where the girl got dragged then pinned, that was meant to end the match right away so they could get help out there. It happens in a lot of matches with injuries. There are three main stages of getting hurt in wrestling. Stage 1) You power through and finish the match how its supposed to go. This is twisted ankle, a cut, maybe broken finger type of injuries normally. Though some wrestlers are freaking insane with what they insist on powering through. Stage 2) is the "Im too hurt to go on but am aware, lets do a fast pin and get me to the doctor" type of injury, A hurt knee, torn pectoral, non major broken bone. They are too injured to keep going but they are able to call the end of the match on the spot. Stage 3) Is the rare time you will see the ref make an X symbol with his arms. Its a signal to stop right now, get a stretcher, and RUN to the ring. The wrestler is screaming in pain, knocked right out, or there is a clear neck injury, that sort of thing. They cant risk finishing the match, there is something critically and clearly wrong. Thankfully those last ones are fairly rare. These athletes train CONSTANTLY to avoid such injuries and minimize risk. A great followup video would be a collection of times wrestlers saved each other in the ring from great injury. You could cover the likely result if they hadnt obviously moved in to save the day. You will see some amazing work as the best wrestlers are able to make it happen while not breaking kayfabe. They can literally catch someone about to land on their head from the top rope and make it look like they accidentally stumbled into the botch and broke their fall, that sort of thing.

I started wrestling in the early '00s and lost track of my "likely" concussion count before I left training. really it's most wrestlers, it's just the longer they've been in the more profound that realization becomes and the more time they have to come to terms with the idea of what they've done to themselves. was in when the Benoit tragedy happened and it made me face that all at once. my brain has been signed off to the Legacy Concussion Foundation when I go. encourage everybody in to take care of your head stuff, because you can fall back on a plan B with most other types of injury, but without your brain you're not you anymore.

Hey Doc! Most matches are predetermined with a winner, and some of the events in the match are planned, choreographed and rehearsed, but some of it are decided and made on the spot as well. To be clear, both the throw to the table and chokeslam on the cage roof were planned by both wrestlers, what they didn't account for was the cage roof giving out.

Storytime!: a few years ago i slipped on some ice and fell. Immediately i felt like something was wrong. I mentioned this to friends and family multiple times and was told to stop being a baby because i was fine (other than swelling there were no physical signs of injury) so I went on with my life. Over a year later I finally decided to go against everyone's advice (including my mother and the person i was dating, who both told me i was being dramatic) and got my knee looked at. Turned out I completely tore my ACL, partially tore my MCL as well as my LCL, AND tore my meniscus. I walked around with those injuries for over a year because everyone around me was telling me I was being dramatic/a baby and making things up anytime i tried saying something felt off or that i was in pain. i got surgery to remove part of my meniscus and repair my ligaments... moral of the story: GO TO THE DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY IF YOUR BODY IS TELLING YOU SOMETHING IS OFF!

As a wrestling fan, the Candice Michelle injury where Mike is asking how they continue would have happened in the early 2000s, I think it was 2008 from a quick google, so wrestling was JUST starting to really learn about concussions and calling matches off. If the same thing happened today, the match definitely would have been called off and help called to the ring quickly. Nowadays, when there is a bad spot you will see the ref check on them, and sometimes even have medical teams come out and check on them. For example even at this years Wrestlemania (biggest event for WWE) there was a match that stopped for refs to come out to check on Finn Balor after he took a ladder to the face. (He got stitched up and did actually finish the match, no concussion)

As for when Undertaker threw Mick Foley off the side of the cage into the announce table, the only three people that knew what was going to happen before it did were the two of them and Vince McMahon. Even the announcer barely made it out of the way in time because he never expected them to do something that crazy. I recommend watching the video that Mick and Taker did recently where they sat own and watched the match together. I believe it's on the official WWE page

The 2nd spot, where he fell through the top of the cage, however, was not scripted and Undertaker, legitimately thought he accidentally killed Mankind at that point.

From how the Undertaker explained it, the roof was supposed to only collapse a bit and kinda catch Mick, allowing him to kinda roll into the ring so he didn't get too hurt. What ended up happening was the full break and fall. Foley says the only reason he survived was because he was at that point too exhausted to properly take the chokeslam, which would've landed him flat on his back and likely would've paralyzed him.

Hi Doctor Mike! I'm a life long wrestling fan. To shed some light on the last clip involving the cage, yes, the show is scripted. It's one of the first things you come to accept as a wrestling fan. But as you said earlier in the video, not everything goes according to plan. The Undertaker (the guy in black on top of the cage) was wrestling that match with a fractured ankle as well. Him and Foley (the man in white) hadn't practiced this match beforehand. The first throw off the cage was planned. However, the second one where he fell through the cage was not. Off the top of my head, Foley's injury list from that night included a concussion, a hole in his lip, and a tooth lodged in his nose. His boss told him to never do anything like that again after the match.
