Obvious statement alert.

Pro wrestling is a dangerous vocation. Ask iconic announcer Jim Ross to give his opinion and he'll bark out a quick, "It ain't ballet" (or something to that effect).

Wrestling is all about having skill yourself, yes, but it's also about trusting another person with your life and knowing they're putting your safety first. It's not only injures that must be an ongoing concern, it's all that match content workers are tasked with remembering. Who knows how the f*ck they get all those spots in order, or how they manage to pull it off without scouring a script for days before.

Sometimes, things go wrong. These 10 examples prove how bumps big and small can knock a wrestler's mind out of whack, and it shows how much pressure they're under to perform at a high level consistently. How did they do it? Don't ask these guys, they won't remember...
