Best kayfabe injuries in wrestling
Gotta go with busted ribs with the tape. Nothing more classic than that.
Oh, and of course anything that gets them into a wheelchair. Instant heat. My personal favorite, though, is Pillmanizing. So what are some of your favorite kayfabe injuries? Whether in general or specific angles. |

I dont think this fits the catigory but I was fond of how Flair always somehow started bleeding while getting fired up doing interviews

Speaking of Flair......Wheelchair bound wrestlers. It always ends the same. they get wheeled into a wall or get flipped. Still works whatever the formula.

The having on the cast is always great because 99 percent of the time the wrestler uses the cast as a weapon.

Yeah, taped ribs is badass points. Everything else is sort of gay. Though the arm cast is key.

How about Sandman being blinded with his cigarette? I am not a huge fan of ECW but they had some good kayfabe stuff there.

D'Lo Brown's pec injury that made him wear that deadly chest protector was pretty sweet.

Seriously?! No one has mentioned "The Narcissist" Lex Luger's Titanium Plate that was lodged inside his forearm and used it during matches as a finisher and was legal because it was part of his body?
Now that is COOL! |

Any injury where it requires the wrestler to wear bandages OVER his fucking wrestling gear. Im pretty sure goldust at one point had bandages over his boot...

I thought about that but it wasn't really an injury but a part of his gimmick when first came into the WWF.

When Owen Hart "knocked out" Shawn Michaels on Raw, that was awesome.

Remember when Ken Shamrock would always be "bleeding internally" in every match he had?
Or last time when Randy Orton was a face he got a concussion in every match. The only redeeming qualities he had at the time was being able to sell being brain-addled really well. |

Shamrock's insides must have been jelly by the end of his WWE tenure.

May favorite was Pillman's shoulder injury when he went into War Games.

Looking back it's ridiculous how much I bought DDP's taped ribs. I didn't even know what it meant to have taped ribs, but when I saw him come out with the tape on I was instantly like, "OH SHIT! SHOULD HE EVEN BE THERE?" Total mark.
Then again, I also kept hoping I would see the Undertaker out in public when they aired those vignettes of regular people seeing him while they were doing their errands after he lost to Yokozuna at the 1994 Royal Rumble. |
