10 Wrestling Matches That Haven't Aged Well

With the knowledge of just how catastrophic unprotected headshots and moves involving a performer throwing themselves head-first at an adversary can be to the folks involved, looking back on some of the more sickening acts of steel chair violence to have occupied the wrestling world over the last few decades makes for a seriously unnerving revisit.

Never one to shy away from the more extreme side of life, even Mick Foley has since gone on record to admit that he may have gone a little too far when it came to making a barbaric impact on the night of his Royal Rumble 1999 I Quit match with The Rock.

Utterly bludgeoning the Mankind man with a steel chair whilst Foley's hands were cuffed behind his back, the devastating shots to the hardcore legend's head were only made worse with the realisation that his wife and kids were in attendance for the massacre.

While there's still definitely a place for the more extreme and savage corners of pro wrestling, watching a grown man be repeatedly pulverised by a metal object was excruciating then and doesn't need to be repeated any time soon.
