10 More Wrestling Matches Even More Impressive When You Know The Truth
5. The Rock And John Cena Both Battle Through Injury And Sickness - WrestleMania 29
Few would be quick to claim that the two titanic stars that met in the Twice in a Lifetime main event at WrestleMania 29 put on an in-ring clinic in said eye-catching show-closer. But let it never be said that John Cena and The Rock didn't put their bodies through the wringer to bring this highly anticipated rematch to life.
On top of nursing himself back to health after what was no doubt a largely uncomfortable week of reported food poisoning, The Leader of the Cenation also battled on with a broken thumb in his Rocky rumble. But while Cena may have been feeling a little worse for wear heading into this pressure-filled scenario, The Great One definitely felt more of the pain coming out of it.
Tearing his abdomen wall and his abductor muscles off the bone mid-match, The People's Champion had a monumental task in simply getting this one over the line. But did anyone really think- IT DOESN'T MATTER... you know the rest.
With this in mind, it comes as little surprise to hear just how tentative Rocky is to confirm whether or not he's set for an epic Tribal Chief collision later down the road.
