WWE: 7 Matches That Were Too Painful To Watch

The goal of a professional wrestling match is to do the best you can to make what you're doing look as real as possible. Yes it's a "fake" form of entertainment in the sense that the outcomes are pre-determined, but the guys and girls that are the best at their jobs are the ones that make it look the most real. The more believable the match, the better it is for everybody involved. Over the course of WWE's 50 years of history there have been some matches where they felt too real in the sense that they involved people that were legitimately hurt in the ring, yet they kept on going. In some cases, these people were hurt going into the match or they were hurt during a match. Through it all, they kept on going. It's hard to remember every time somebody fought through an injury, so this selection will be about several famous incidents and ones we know about. It's likely that there are dozens of instances where people were working through major injuries that fans like us had no idea even existed at the time. Fans respect wrestlers because they put their bodies on the line to entertain us. Here are seven cases where wrestlers put it all on the line and put on matches that were tough to watch because we could see how difficult it was for the performers we admire so much.
