10 Most Ridiculous WWE Injuries Ever

6. Walk Hard

Kevin Nash is much-maligned figure in professional wrestling, often more for received and accepted wisdom from many that worked with him clouding fan sentiment. Limited as he was, 'Big Sexy' was often extremely entertaining to watch during his divisive runs.

Though some have criticised his attitude to finances within the game, as the years go by, his approach of making as much money whilst in in order to get out looks far more rational than the commitment to destroying your physical and mental health without at least earning wealth to (partially) justify it. He learned some of this the very hard way indeed.

In February 2002, the former Diesel had returned to his old stomping grounds alongside Scott Hall and Hulk Hogan, but was quickly sidelined with a bicep injury that kept him out of action until this July 10-man tag that partnered nWo members Nash, X-Pac and Big Show with vaunted vanilla midgets Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit against Bubba Ray and Spike Dudley, Goldust, Booker T and Rob Van Dam.

Big Kev had barely been in the match when he darted over to strike Bubba, before collapsing in a heap having torn his quadracep.

An allegory for the WWE's incarnation of the New World Order in general, Nash crumpled to the mat in agony as the entire presentation subsequently collapsed around him. The band had only just gotten back together, but just one week later, Vince McMahon would split them up for good.
