10 Legit Wrestling Injuries That Were Made Into A Storyline

10. Vader Gives Cactus Jack A Concussion

In one of their many violent bouts, Cactus Jack and Vader squared off on WCW Saturday Night in April 1993. During the snug encounter, Jack missed a gruesome flip senton to the outside and crashed onto the unforgiving floor below. Unfortunately for 'Mrs Foley's Baby Boy', it was about to get a lot worse.

With Jack on the outside, Vader's manager, Harley Race, peeled back the padding to expose the concrete below. A vicious powerbomb followed, looking even more brutal than any description could allow. Unsurprisingly, the sell job by Foley was shockingly realistic... primarily due to the fact that it was real.

The impact caused a legitimate concussion and Foley was taken off TV to further sell the effects of the bump. Despite Foley's original intention of keeping the storyline serious, WCW quickly turned the angle into comic relief; within weeks, he re-emerged in the infamous 'Cactus Jack Lost in Cleveland' vignettes.

Supposedly suffering from amnesia, the notoriously bad skits involved Cactus in a variety of shockingly bad pre-taped segments. Thankfully, the vignettes were swept under the rug as soon as Foley made his return at Clash of the Champions XXIV. Instead, Vader and Cactus would square off once more in typically brutal fashion in a Texas Death Match at Halloween Havoc '93.
