10 Reasons For Increased Injuries To WWE Superstars

1. The Human Body

The number one reason why so many WWE wrestlers are suffering major injuries today is because, quite frankly, the human body is not designed for wrestling. The traditional "bump" alone has been equated to experiencing a minor car crash by several accredited doctors and the number of bumps taken by WWE's professional athletes on a regular basis is nothing short of frightening. At the risk of sounding morbid and negative, the human body is not meant to take that type of punishment and professional wrestlers absorb that pain five nights a week for 52 weeks a year for however many years in a row. It's a perpetual parade of minor car crashes. Sure, there's ways of limiting the damage and preparing the body for impact, but professional wrestling is a very dangerous job. Other sports that may not be as tough on the body allow for off-seasons, their talents get time to rest, and the average career is still much shorter than the professional wrestler's. Even still, that hasn't stopped WWE from operating in a way that pushes their talents' bodies to the absolute limit. Hopefully, the company will soon realize the need for and value in allowing additional, extended time off for the men and women that perform the job on a nightly basis because it is becoming glaringly obvious that the recent efforts to protect their talents' health have not been enough.
