Inevitably, every hardcore wrestler goes through the same round of questions concerning injuries and hardest matches. For someone who specialised in high-flying and falling on things more punishing than the mat, that goes doubly. When asked what was worse, the leg drop from the cage onto Edge in 2005 or falling into the stack of tables with Bubba at WrestleMania 7, he confessed the latter had come with a lasting cost:
The legdrop from the cage. It permanently damaged me.
Quite how he didnt break his back, or shatter his pelvis is a little beyond belief. But even that wasnt the most painful spot he was ever involved in:
Probably when my abdomen ripped in half, allowing my intestines to thrust outside of it. Indescribable pain. There's been too many painful moments throughout my career to truly rank them though.
