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.

This happened before I got into wrestling but I always thought it was a real injury and they incorporated it into kayfabe? Thought maybe Mabel did his splash wrong and legitimately broke a bone in Taker's face. Was it just a kayfabe injury afterall?

As far as my contribution to the topic, I'll go with Kane's burnt face. Also McMahon being in a wheelchair during the attitude era was a good one. I'm gonna miss "Mr. McMahon."

DDP had the taped ribs going on so long that they were part of his look for the freaking video game.

As for that second note:

justoosweeet2001 has done some stupid things
the best kayfabe injury imo was the randy savage ricky steamboat ring bell to the throat "crushed larynx" angle...not only was it sold in a time before massive amounts of hype on a monday night show, but it also set up probably one of the best matches in wrestling at WM3.

Taped Ribs for sure. I remember they kept saying DDP's ribs could never heal, since he wouldn't take time off.

Owen's cast was classic.

Jack the snake Roberts being blinded by Rick Martel also came to mind.

One that comes to my mind is Shawn Michaels eye injury when Chris Jericho put Shawn through the Jeritron 3000. HBK really sold that one well.

How has no one mentioned when an ankle lock "snaps" an ankle. I don't remember who did it (Shamrock or Angle) but someone had their opponents shoes JUST loose enough to pull it off very slightly and then wrench the holy hell out of it making it look like they snapped the guys ankle completely.

Want to say it was Angle breaking Kendrick's leg but I think I'm wrong.

They definitely did one with Angle, though.

I'm gonna have to "second" your love for Pillmanizing the ankle. I remember Taker did a chair move once that looked just vicious, where he jammed the chair into a guy's throat.

As far as post match bandaging, how has nobody mentioned the neckbrace? That big, soft, foamy neckbrace that just screams kayfabe. Even when I see someone on the street with one like that, I'm waiting for the angle. Bobby Heenan sporting it had to be it's heyday, but Andy Kaufman had a sweet one too:

Jake Robert's dad... whatever his name was. He brought the kayfabe home with him. He would wear the neck brace around the house.
On a less out of date note, and similar note, The Sandman faking he's blind. Even had his wife support it while they were building up to the climax of the storyline when The Sandman came back.
