10 Worst Mid-Match Injuries Wrestlers Fought Through
10. Bob Holly - ECW (26 September 2006)
The return of ECW to TV in 2006 was initially met with global excitement. Sadly, that excitement was about as short lived as the careers of The Zombie and Macho Libre. WWE's version was a far cry from the original that set the industry (and countless tables) alight years before.
Nevertheless, many superstars attempted to retain the extreme integrity of old, with the likes of RVD, Sabu, Big Show, and even Ric Flair all making a conscious effort to live up to the ECW label. Surprisingly, it was Bob Holly who supplied the most extreme spot of the revival, when he squared off with RVD in an Extreme Rules match on ECW #16.
After several minutes of action, Holly stood perched on the apron with a table set up on the outside. Holly would suplex his opponent through the table in an impressive bump for Van Dam; however, it was Holly that came off worse in the fall.
The broken table sliced Holly's back like a piece of ham, leaving a wound that would require 24 stitches to close. With his back severely lacerated, Holly continued for another eight minutes before he succumbed to the Five Star Frog Splash. Regardless of the outcome, Holly certainly lived up to his name as "Hardcore".
