10 Most Horrific Wrestling Injuries

10. Allan Funk

Allan Funk was best known for his comedic midcard work in promotions such as WCW and TNA in the early noughties.

On September 27, 2003, Funk wrestled in Helsinki, Finland, teaming with Mike Sanders to take on Elix Skipper and Sonny Siaki. When Siaki went for a split legged moonsault on Funk, he botched the landing, resulting in his knee pulverising Funk’s face. The impact shattered Funk’s orbital bone, his jaw, his nose and left him deaf in his left ear.

Although his left ear has remained 100% deaf to this day, the rest of his injuries managed to make a full recovery after 4 extensive surgeries to repair the damage. After a 2 year hiatus, Funk successfully made his in ring return with an appearance at Vince Russo’s Ring of Glory promotion, playing a character known as Queen Herod because Vince Russo.

Funk has only wrestled sporadically in the years since. The 48-year-old’s last most notable appearance was for the MTV series, Lucha Libre USA: Masked Warriors which ended in October 2012.
