10 Things You Need To Know About X-Pac

4. He Tore His Anus Doing A Bronco Buster

http://youtu.be/4ynpy68i2YU Waltman's in-ring career in WWE is over and a return to TNA seems unlikely, so he keeps busy by wrestling on the indy scene. He's done it for several years now. Fans love seeing him because at age 42 he's still a very good in-ring performer. During an indy show in Minneapolis in March 2013, Waltman was wrestling on a card that was paying tribute to his good friend Jerry Lynn, who was retiring. During his match, Waltman went for his patented Bronco Buster move (jumping with his crotch on the face of an opponent by the turnbuckle) except when he did it this time, he received a cut by his anus and started bleeding. It looks very painful. Here are a series of his tweets from March 28, 2013 explaining the situation: "The video doesn't do justice to the severity of the situation. The turnbuckle wasn't covered & my landing should have been 45 degrees. I ended up landing hard & horizontal. The turnbuckle ripped me another new a hole. I knew it right away, you can see me tell ref "tore my ass!" I went to after party briefly, but had to leave as blood starting gushing. Hotel looked like a murder scene. So much blood. Hotel security called ambulance & Dr. Morken @ HCMC performed sphincterplasty to save me from having to have a colostomy bag. It's hard not to laugh. So feel free to find it humorous. I did almost bleed out before ambulance got there. I did the X-Factor from the top rope & one through a table after it happened. My concern was Jerry getting the proper send off, not my butthole." As you can see, he was in a good mood about it despite all the pain he was in at the time. It healed up and he ended up wrestling again. At least he'll always have a good story to tell people that think wrestlers never get hurt doing their job.
