9 Wrestlers Injured By The Styles Clash

6. Stevie Richards

https://youtu.be/u6fRD0X_Hwc?t=13s Is it fair to say that Stevie was just too tall for Styles to be hitting a Clash here? Maybe not, considering some of the other names The Phenomenal One has hit the move on in the past. That's what I would be saying if this was a legitimate botch, but it turns out this was nothing more than a well-done injury angle. Dave Meltzer reported this at the time and records show that Stevie wrestled on a house show the very next night. Despite Stevie having a history of neck injuries, the former ECW star agreed to take the bump for the benefit of the show. It's how quite literally everyone thought it was a shoot, though (thus qualifying it here). Styles' reputation with the move was used against him on this one.
