Former WWE Star Yoshi Tatsu Suffers A Broken Neck

AJ Styles' "Styles Clash" goes wrong.

Yoshi Tatsu has suffered a broken neck. The former WWE star is currently working for New Japan Pro Wrestling and was wrestling AJ Styles on the November 8th "Power Struggle" internet pay per view. The "Styles Clash" finisher went wrong, causing two broken bones in Tatsu's neck. The Japanese star went on social media to reveal the hospital diagnosis. He's feeling down about the two broken bones, but has had plenty of support from his followers. This was the first time that he's ever had to be hospitalised. It isn't the first time that a wrestler has been badly injured from the Styles Clash. British star Lionheart also suffered a broken neck back in March. That isn't to say AJ Styles is an unsafe worker. There's just as much responsibility on the person taking the move as there is on the person executing it. This isn't a situation like when Owen Hart carelessly broke Steve Austin's neck in 1997; the Styles Clash is very different from a piledriver. Still, incidents like this won't do Styles any favours in WWE's eyes. He was already unlikely to ever end up with the big league. It is a little bit ironic that Michelle McCool used the Styles Clash as her finisher in WWE and nobody ever got hurt. Tatsu actually went on to wrestle at the opening night of New Japan's World Tag League Tournament. He later pulled out as it dawned on him how seriously hurt he was. He mentioned on Twitter that he is in a lot of pain and is trying to avoid taking sleeping pills.
