10 Wrestlers Who Have Been "Killed" In 2020

Elias is dead, again.

Now, yes, there might be some whole story about a pectoral muscle and a convenient way to write him off television, but, just to reiterate the actual facts as WWE has presented them to us... Elias was his by a car. Cars weigh nearly 3,000lbs and the one in question was traveling roughly 30mph, meaning that it hit him with the force of almost 24 metric tons or, just over 110 Big Shows.

This will have caused skull fractures, concussions, hemorrhages, intracranial swelling, hip fractures, pelvis fractures, abrasions, torn knee ligaments, and, depending on the angle of impact, has the potential to break any single bone in the human body. While a lot of the force is absorbed by the rib cage, once you’ve broken enough ribs, the chest loses its structure and you start to take the force into the lungs and major organs.

If you rupture them, you can get stomach acid sploshing around the rest of your body and, if the bowel gets punctured, which sometimes happens, you’ve got your own waste exploding into the rest of your body. You really, really, don't want that to happen, especially if you've just recently had a fatal skull fracture as well.

Current Status: Dead, Because He Was Hit By A Car
