10 Most Depressing Injuries In WWE History

9. Mankind (Various Dislocations/Bruised Kidney/Concussion)

The most famous 'Hell In A Cell' match of all time still remains the one that took place at the 1998 King Of The Ring Pay-Per-View. In the penultimate match spot, Mankind battled The Undertaker inside the intimidating structure. 'Inside' may be stretching the truth a little, because not all of the action would take place inside the ring. Due to this, Mankind suffered some serious injuries. Hurled from the top of the cage through an announce table waiting below, many in attendance (including some backstage) felt that Mick Foley may be gravely hurt. There were even fears that the man could be dead. Unbelievably, he was able to continue, and even sustained another horrifying bump through the top of the Cell. In the process, Foley suffered a concussion. The man also lost teeth, needed stitches below his lip, dislocated both his jaw and shoulder, and ended up with a severely bruised kidney. The pain must have been tremendous, but the match has lived on in memory. Nonetheless, it's still depressing to imagine the very-real physical torture Foley put himself through to entertain. It's difficult to watch the bout today, knowing the impact it'd have on his well-being.
