10 Most Ridiculous WWE Injuries Ever
1. Made Of Glass
Though he's mostly shaken the tag in recent years, Randy Orton had a reputation as a delicate sicknote for years in WWE, and not without good reason.
'The Viper' was crocked repeatedly early into his tenure with the organisation, taking not unsubstantial sabbaticals in 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2008. In fact, it was an injury that gifted Orton his first interesting angle in the promotion, when his obnoxious 'RNN' updates gave progress reports on when fans could expect him to return.
By April 2010, he was over a year in to a clean bill of health, which must have subconsciously rattled him enough to make sure he did himself damage in his Over The Limit clash with former tag team partner Edge.
Randy had taken to furiously pound the mat as a precursor to hitting the RKO, but did so with such vigour that he managed to separate his shoulder in the process. Immediately sensing something was wrong, Orton clutched at his limp limb and improvised a listless countout finish with his supposedly fierce rival.
He thankfully recovered in time to main event the next month's Fatal 4-May pay-per-view. Any longer on the shelf from such a case would have potentially been too great an embarrassment to overcome.
