10 Most Depressing Injuries In WWE History

These guys went down with serious injuries that often derailed their careers...

The life of the professional wrestler is a hazardous one, it's not a job just anyone can do. It's a true testament to the skill of the many men and women who work in the wrestling industry that they don't get injured more often. It's been said that injuries can 'happen at any time'. Performers don't need to be doing something reckless or all that dangerous to end up injured. This was evidenced during a 2007 episode of Monday Night Raw. John Cena ended up tearing his pectoral muscle, all because he executed a rudimentary hip toss on Mr. Kennedy. That's one of the least-dangerous moves featured on this list, one that explores 10 of the most depressing WWE injuries of all time. It's important not to discount the serious injuries suffered by Owen Hart at the Over The Edge 1999 Pay-Per-View. Due to the fact that Owen sadly passed away due to his injuries, he will be omitted out of respect. Thankfully, all other parties present in this article are alive and able to tell their story today. These injuries were depressing for varying reasons, but they all had an enduring impact on the careers of the performers in question. On occasion, some of them weren't able to wrestle ever again.
