Only wrestlers who are actually used often.
Of the top of my head I'm thinking Kane and Chris Jericho, as both men over the last ten years have only been off a couple of times.
Maybe Samoa Joe.
Most of the WWE roster only made their debut in the last few years so hardly any have had time off for injuries.

For the style they wrestle, the Dudleyz were almost never injured.

I understand banged up and injured are two different things, but it'll be interesting to hear what these 'low-injury' wrestlers have to deal after spending so long wrestling. Back pain, neck pain, etc.

They don't neccessarily have to be wrestling now, but anyone who had a decent length career, and was used on a regular basis. So someone who wrestled for WWE/WCW/TNA/ECW whatever for ten years, but only wrestled a couple of times a month, don't count.

Figured he had just couldnt remember if/when. Was he injured during his year long crow run before he beat Hogan, i know he didnt wrestle but was that just the gimmick?

the '90 one was an ACL injury and he needed to go under the knife for. I think he had some lingering injuries during the year long crow run.

Other than the year or so he was "retired" did HBK ever have any injuries?
Chavo Guerrero. Unless 30 second squash matches don't count.

Shawn had knee injuries, which required surgery, in 1990, 1997, and 2004.
Chavo suffered a broken orbital bone in 2005, which was why he was the first man eliminated in that battle royal for the Cruiserweight title on the SmackDown before WrestleMania XXI.

I dont think Owen Hart had many injuries before his untimely death in 1999, I could be wrong though.

Owen had a knee injury in 1993 that toned down his high-flying a little.

He had a shit ton of injuries!
Like Rammsteinmad said, you have to more so focus on wrestlers who have been around a while.
One I can think of off the top of my head is The Big Show.
Shawn had knee injuries, which required surgery, in 1990, 1997, and 2004.
Chavo suffered a broken orbital bone in 2005, which was why he was the first man eliminated in that battle royal for the Cruiserweight title on the SmackDown before WrestleMania XXI.

See, wiki is your friend...

Well in terms of injury... I don't recall The Rock having major injuries often... Aside from the titty surgery cause of 'roids... but he was always off on a suspension, or fake injury to film a movie....

Chris Jericho for sure. Since he came to WWE in 1999, I don't think he's ever missed time due to an injury. The only time he took off was his 2 year break from 2005-2007.

No, I actually watched the shows back then.
I didn't mean you. Jesus, you've "proved" your wrestling knowledge in 95% of the posts you make with your needless tidbits of info that aren't necessary. Although I have to ask, what does watching the shows actually mean? Most injuries are covered with a kayfabe reason, so you wouldn't necessarily know why they were off.
The wiki comment was towards people suggesting the likes of HBK. Y'know, they could check wiki before offering them as a suggestion.

So was Foley out injured alot, i checked wiki, and aside from concussions and the KOTR match it doesnt really mention any. Cant remember him out much but with his style he must have had a few injury layoffs, even with the ear thing i dont think he took any real time off.
He didn't have a long lay-off for his ear. In fact I think he wrestled a week later.

I thought so, cant think of any long term injurys he had,even after the cell im sure he was back after about a month, must have had one or two though right?

Jericho did have an ankle injury in 2000 or something. He was off for 4 months apparently. I only know this because this is when he made the first Fozzy album.
But Jericho is the perfect case in this thread. Ten years (with 2 year hiatus) with WWE, a few years in WCW, constantly being used, with barely any time off due to injuries.
Chavo Guerrero also. :y:

Ahmed Johnson, Mr. Kennedy, Batista, Edge, Shawn Michaels.
That's just off the top of my head.
