Austin 3:16 says I just broke your neck...

[Splaya]

from the Daily Mail in the UK:

Sylvester Stallone broke his neck while filming a fight scene in his latest movie.

The veteran action hero had emergency surgery and a metal plate inserted in his neck following the accident on the set of The Expendables.

The 63-year-old actor was filming a fight with wrestling co-star Stone Cold Steve Austin (http://www.gerweck.net/steveaustin.htm), 45, in the upcoming movie, but it was so realistic that Stallone ended up with a hairline fracture in his neck.

I guess Stallone is expendable

[Anybody Thrilla]

63? Holy hell.

[McLegend]

OMG NO.

Worse news ever.

Austin was able to taunt the crowd and the referee, buying time until Stallone could roll him up with a schoolboy for the Intercontinental Championship.

I still think Owen should have just won that match. I guess they didn't know the severity of the injury at the time, but it just would have made more sense, I think.

Subsequently, Austin fell to his death shortly after the incident due to a faulty harness in a scene featuring Austin as a superhero.

[thedamndest]

TOO FAR

[Nark Order]

Yeah. Nobody could've survived that far of a drop.

[Nicky Fives]

His name is "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, AND HE CANNOT BE STOPPED!...lol

[Shadow]

Man.....what is with wrestlers and neck injuries on the sets of movies.

[Zeeboe]

I've been a Stallone fan my whole life, and this happens to him a lot actually on his movies. He's really into being realistic. He got hurt while doing Rocky, First Blood, Rocky III, Rocky IV, Lock-Up, Get Carter....those are the only ones I can think of at the top of my head.

I was an extra in "Rocky Balboa" back in the winter of 2005, and I remember he kept telling Tarver.....

"Okay kid, I need you to REALLY hit me...."

*hits him*

"No Kid, I REALLY need you to hit me.

*hits him a little harder*

".....No kid......I REALLY, REALLY need you to hit me."

He finally got his wish, and Sly was happy.

[Tommy Gunn]

Yeah. Nobody could've survived that far of a drop.

John Cena would find a way. :shifty:

[D Mac]

Yeah didn't know Sly was that old. Wow.

[Disturbed316]

Meh, he didn't even bother to win a gold medal.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Meh, he didn't even bother to win a gold medal.

:lol:

This settles the "Who would win, Rocky or Stone Cold" debate. Next on Austin's hit list, Chuck Norris.

but then he would have had to kiss Owen's ass or feet or something right? That really would have been awkward to pull off.

Ohhh yeah, forgot about that stipulation. I guess that would've been pretty weird.
