And finally, we finish with the inspiration for this article — Kevin Nash tore his quad through the simple act of walking across the ring. This has now become the go-to insult against the guy. 

Inducted into the Hall of Fame? "Did he tear his quad during his speech?" Domestic violence disturbance? "Did he tear his quad during the altercation?" Wants to wrestle a final farewell match? "What, is that fragile old man trying to tear his quad again?" The fans even chanted about Nash's quad during his cameo at Wrestlemania 31.

Depending on your sense of humor, this is either very funny or very cruel. But even Jericho has gotten in on the fun, tweeting, "Hope @realkevinnash doesn’t tear his quad tweeting! #typicalbigman #nwothirdwheel." Ouch. Hopefully, his feelings aren't as easily hurt as his quad.

What are some other awful leg injuries that went down in professional wrestling? Let us know in the comments!
