Worst injury you've goten from wrestling

[Tiken]

Like we I am sure many of you wrestling fans in some point of your lives have wrestled with friends, family members, pets, ect... for fun and sport in your backyard or on top of your roof or in your basement and I am sure most of you have recieved injuries for botching moves or from letting stupid friends play with chairs....

My worst injury was when I was 12 wrestling with my friends in my frontyard and getting suplexed, resulting in me going to a chiroprachter for the next 2 months.

[Corkscrewed]

haha.... moron. I like how you totally neglected the most valid target... actual wrestlers who train properly... even if there aren't too many of them here (though they exist).

[HankScorpio]

the worst injury I've seen: my friend Irish whipped his "opponent"(another friend) into a wooden shed, which he went clean through! which resulted in a large gash in his head, but it was all fixed after a few hours at the Hospital. The shed never recovered.

[Funky Fly]

The worst injury I ever got that was related to wrestling was a badly cut knuckle after I punched a wall in anger after the outcome of a match on Nitro. I clipped the corner of a framed picture. :'(

[Rockamaniac]

the worst injury ive gotten from wrestling replays was wen me and my friends where having our little royal rumble, elimination by pushing a person off the bed-like platform...this dude kicks me in the groin and pushes me off...now it feels like my balls are shrinking...weird... :eek:

[Tornado]

I don't backyard wrestle, but i've had the odd bout before. Worst "injury" was letting my friend attempt the green mist, he missed and hit our brand new white leather sofa.....:o

[The Naitch]

I Angle Slammed my Rikishi look-a-like cousin. His head smacked the wall. He had a concussion and whatever. I've never been injured though

When your mom comes in and asks why the sofa is green tell her the cat had an accident, use the excuse that the cat is geriatric

That wouldn't have worked, I actually think it was blue mist. Got it all cleaned up before anyone got home. God knows why I let him mist me in the house...:nono:

[Team Sheep]

The worst injury I had was when I was wrestling in a tree with my friend ages ago and I literally fell backwards out of the tree, fell about 15 feet and landed head first on the floor and I got knocked out. Scary as hell, and I needed 7 stitches for a deep cut I had from it.

[Kane Knight]

I lost an eye when I heard JBL was champion.

Unfortunately, the doctors were able to recussitate me and patfch up my skull. They say I lost 8% of my brane. Me without brain...Funnee...:drool:

[Dave Youell]

The List:

2 Twisted muscles in my back that stick out as lumps now and htere's nothing Doctors can do, Once I couldn't walk about for a week becuase of the pain

I've spained my ankles at least 4 times

3 Concussions

[Fryza]

Got Gored downhill. Not really an injury, but definately not a fun ride.

[Paranoid Rattlesnake]

strained a wrist watching sable when i was 12

What match was it?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

The time I lifted up my sweaty fat hand to chant "Go Jericho Go" on his debut and pulled a muscle :(

:shifty:

[AareDub]

I dislocated my shoulder in practice one time. Mind you, this is amateur wrestling, not pro wrestling. The district meet was the next day and I had to compete with my shoulder all messed up. Good times, good times.

[Kane Knight]

strained a wrist watching sable when i was 12
LOL

I know when I'm beat.

[Joe Kerr]

Other than the many concussions ive also suffered a Dislocated knee cap and a fractured rib. Competing not messing around.

[Iceman90]

I had a dislocated shoulder once, after I hit a clotheline, and my opponent wasn't ready.

I also pulled all my dick and wrist muscles the night Trish Stratus debuted.

[Favre4Ever]

Me and a friends were wrestling in my basement, and he ran to spear me, only to gore me through our drywall.

[Watson]

When I was first training to wrestle in 1998 we would train on Sundays and wrestle on Saturdays. The ring was at my friends house and he and some other indy wrestlers trained my other friend and I. Since the ring was at one of my friend's house we started a little mini-fed in order to learn about running storylines and characters and such. One day I wrestled a Hellacious tag team match in which one of my opponents put about half a table in the corner and threw me into it. I hit it as hard as I could and broke through it but I didn't get hurt. Later on in the show I was chasing another guy we wrestled with when I tripped over that same piece of table (except it was on the outside of the ring now) and I landed on my stomach with my right arm straight up. It dislocated my right shoulder and NO ONE knew how to pop it back in place. So I just waited for my friend's dad to get home because somebody told me he knew how to treat a dislocated shoulder. But when he got there he told me he didn't know how to pop it back in place. So I was pretty much sol but a little while later I was getting in the ring and as I put my knee up on the apron and pulled the second rope for support I felt a pop in my shoulder. It had popped back in place and damn did it hurt. Since then I've re-injured my shoulder about 5 times. I might not have dislocated it when I first injured it, it may have just been a separation because a doctor told me it had been seperated but the first time I hurt it, it felt like my arm wasn't even attached to my shoulder. So even now I don't know if the initial injury was a dislocation or a separation, but I do know that I have separated it since and sometimes when I'm wrestling if I just swing it the wrong way it just goes numb followed by intense pain.

Why didn't you go to hospital when you first injured it, instead of waiting around for someones dad to come home?

[mitch_h]

I'm properly trained and the worst injury i've gotten was a bleeding nose from a kawada kick.

[Watson]

Why didn't you go to hospital when you first injured it, instead of waiting around for someones dad to come home?

Well I figured his dad would just pop it back in place and the pain would eventually subside. I didn't think they would do much at the hospital besides x-ray my shoulder and put it in a sling. Besides the hospital in the town I live in absolutely sucks. My mom almost died there because of there negligence. I had an epileptic seizure a few months ago and when I came out of it my whole right arm hurt so bad I was almost in tears. I thought I had pulled a muscle or something so I went to the emergency room and after waiting over an hour to see someone, all they did was give me a dose of my epilepsy medication. Hell I could have got tha at home. No painkillers. No x-ray. Nothing.

My anus got ruptured (I went to WWE headquarters in Stamford Connecticut for a try out, and Jim Ross went to work on me. :-\ )

I find the line about how he accidentally popped it back into place while climbing BACK INTO the ring more disturbing. "Well, my shoulder's dislocated and there's nobody around who knows how to give me medical attention...guess I'll just keep wrestling til a doctor shows up" ;)

Worst I ever got was back at Hammerlock, I fractured my foot the first time I got to wrestle in the ring itself (Hammerlock do about a month of work on mats before they let you in the ring). I knew it hurt like a bitch at the time, but I thought it was just bruised so I kept training. I couldn't get the bump right from a running clothesline, so they were making me take repeated clotheslines out on the thin mats. After a while the pain everywhere else pretty much blanked out the foot. Afterwards I was limping for months. Thankfully it wasn't a serious fracture and didn't need any medical attention other than rest. Still it ended my training. :(

[Johnny Vegas]

I was wrestling my cousin for "our" interneighborhood title...dont ask...and it was a ladder match..everything was goin smoothly for a good 20 min..nice lil ladder/hardcore match..of course we used items that looked cool to use, but wouldnt HURT us that bad..but anyway, i laid my cousin on their fence (sort of like when RVD is goin to do his leg drop off the apron to his opponent on the guardrail) , i jumped off the ladder..which was about a 7 foot ladder..and he moved outta the way and i basically hit the fence with my leg and hit my back hard as hell on the dirt ground...i got a scrap from the fence but i swear my back wasnt right for a good month..i never got it checked out or anything tho..

[Innovator]

Fell out of my chair and almost had a heart attack out of joy when Jericho won the title...ah best 9 minutes ever.

Actually the injury took place at the end of the show. When I got back in the ring and my shoulder popped, the show had ended we were just all hanging out in the ring.

My remarks about them being dumbasses are completly valid. ANY wrestler will tell you that to do backyard, living room, or any other clever name wrestling is a disgrace to the very industry.

[VJW]

The only time that I ever got hurt was when somebody much bigger and stronger than me threw me across the room when I was about ten years old. I actually hurt somebody when I pedigreed them. I didn't even do it properly since I couldn't lift them off the ground.

[Apocolyptik1]

Ive wrestled alot with my brother, but it was all serious wrestling. He went to college in Nevada and wrestled for fun. He never won any medals but I took after him and wanted to do it in highschool. I like to think that I am pretty mean when it comes to the mat.

In fake wrestling terms, if me and my friends ever do, we dont do slams, and we dont use any weapons. Its more technical wrestling then anything. When we go swimming in my apartments pool however, their is a lot of slamming/dunking going on. Worst thing that happens is the occasional swat to the nose from a flailing arm. Before we do anything that requires someone's head to go underwater, we let them sit their and get a little breath. Might seem lame, but its better to be safe then sorry.

[CYCLOPTERSAURUS]

I did a sick-ass high angle german suplex to a pillow off a dresser onto a bed, and landed almost vertically upside-down and hurt my neck. It wasn't serious or anything though.

[.44 Magdalene]

I dropped the remote on my toe once.

[123 kid]

It wasn't serious wrestling me and my mates were in a field pissing about on a mattress when I thought I'd attempt a moonsault of a bench; only to slip, land on my head and be knocked out cold for about 15 minutes, when I woke up I had this burning sensation in my neck.

And once in about 1998 I attempted D-X'S crotch chop, and I kind of missed slightly, which resulted in serious loss of breath. However I was only 8, so the grapefruits weren't developed yet! It still hurt though! From that moment forward I HATED D-generation X!

[LK]

I have never been physically injured by wrestling but I have been mentally injured. Steiner vs HHH left me traumatised for months. I had no idea something could be that bad.

Horsing around and wrestling with a friend is one thing. But if you are stupid enough to do things like jump off of your roof onto each other or hitting each other with chairs then you deserve to get hurt.

Come to think of it, not merely stupid, fucking retarded.

[Spoon Bender]

Now, that's a little unfair. I agree that anyone who calls themselves a wrestler without formal training is a jackass, and that anyone over about 15 who is playfighting needs to grow up a bit. But heck, whe all had a bit of a rassal in the living room or school field when we were kids.

[Shaggy]

The worst injury that I have had was just messing up my back. I was wrestling and I would pick the guy up and slam it and finally when I picked him up my back just gave out.

My friend snapped his thumb once by wrestling with some kids and went to put his hand on the ground and his thumb dug into the ground. Well at that exact moment his opponent slid into him hitting his hand and it snapped his thumb and broke it.

I may come off as a jackass, but the fact of the matter is, wrestling in your backyard is an insult to the very sport for this reason, as soon as you guys hurt yourselves the entire industry is blamed for it. How man times do we need to hear about how "Pro Wrestling is the reason my kid can't walk" or what about people trying to sue the WWE because their daughter was clotheslined and killed by their son. It is a disgrace. I myself have sustained a VERY painful and damaging injury to my knee, one that will effect me for the rest of my life. I am currently not wrestling anymore because of it..and this was done by two pros...

So when I say doing it in your living rooms and backyard is an insult, it really is. You are walking a tight rope were if you fall off, the indsutry is blamed. I don't mind goofing off and throwing a buddy in a headlock or something, but when I see tapes of kids doing moonsaults off a ladder to a friend on the ground, or I see some 12 year old powerbomb his little brother, it not only offends me, it scares me. And the fact that nearly every person in this thread as sustained some form of injury while doing wrestling, is proof enough that injuries happen, and pro wrestling is blamed for them.

If I had it my way, every Backyard Fed and every Basement Fed across the nation would be done away with. If you want to wrestle, GO GET TRAINED! It's like jumping onto a football feild, playing tackle football, with a bunch of guys who have never been trained and only watch the NFL on sundays. Your asking for trouble becuase one of ya is gonna get hurt. You don't see people watching the Olympic Gymnastic team for a while and then run out to their backyard and atempt a double back...

I just don't understand why people think they know even the first thing about how do perform moves properly just because they have seen it on TV a few time.

[John la Rock]

I once Pedigreed my 8 year old cousin because she wouldn't stop bitting me. Luckily she was fine

:y:

Backyard wrestling is a reflection upon the societies that spawned it. A group of jackasses who think theyre invincible decide to do stupid things. When they get hurt, the finger of guilt has to go elsewhere, so they blame pro wrestling.

Of course, even at the WWE's worst moment, injury wise, they had EMTs standing by and legit training. Even when Owen Hart dies in ring (on of the bigger incidents), they were able to at least treat him (even though that injury was so severe it ended up fatal anyways).

It's funny though. You don't hear people try and ban basketball because a couple of kids decided to play street hoops and got injured. Growing up, I got more than one massive scrape from playing basketball on cement or ashpalt. Nobody ran off to the NBA to ban them. INjuries happen in a lot of sports, a lot of sports which are mimmicked by kids all across the country.

I guess this means the popular perception is that wrestling fans are dumb (at least, dumber than NASCAR and football fans, which is pretty dumb :) )

[Sickboy]

Well I tore my knee a few months ago while training submission wrestling in the army. The dude I was wrestling with was like 6'4" and 200lbs and I'm only 5'9" and 175lbs, so no wonder I got hurt, but the injury was an accident that I sustained as I his weight drop on the side of my knee while we were on the mat.

[Kane Knight]

I once Pedigreed my 8 year old cousin because she wouldn't stop bitting me. Luckily she was fine
I once "pedigreed" my ex's brother. He was young, and I never let go of him, so he was pretty safe. It's funny though. He "sold" it as comedically as Flair. Staggered around for like 2 minutes.

In retrospect, I shoulda done it of a roof into flaming barbed wire and glass. That woulda made me COOL.

I've also used some ameteur wrestling moves on people before, but I have some training. I'd have more if the fucking school didn't cut the program...People might get hurt...
