10 Matches That Nearly Made Wrestlers Quit For Good
9. Becky Lynch Vs. Kisu (GSW - September 2006)
After five years with WWE, Becky Lynch has now finally been part of the company longer than her injury-imposed hiatus from the sport, which kicked off properly in 2008.
Her issues stemmed from a 2006 match against a wrestler named Kisu for German Stampede Wrestling. The duo went 10 minutes on a card featuring the likes of Roderick Strong and Christopher Daniels, and Lynch wasn't in a good way. Afterwards, she suffered considerable vision problems and headaches, and was diagnosed with cranial nerve damage, forcing her first year on the sidelines.
Becky tried to return in April 2008, but no-showed a Shimmer Women Athletes event. It looked very much like her wrestling career was over, but she returned as a manager in 2011, working closely with the mother-daughter duo of Saraya Knight and future WWE cohort Paige. Then, finally, Lynch resumed her in-ring career in 2012, before WWE swept in, signed her to developmental deal the following April, with her skill, charisma, and work ethic soon establishing her as one of NXT's Four Horsewomen.
An awesome journey, and one that would never have happened if not for her hiatus.
