00:00 There are enough injuries in the world of professional wrestling, why do we need to

00:03 add make-believe ones to the world? Haven't wrestlers suffered enough? Oh the horror.

00:08 We have seen our fair share of bumps and bruises, sprains and strains,

00:11 broken bones and torn ligaments. And hey, Rey Mysterio wasn't the only one to get hurt either.

00:15 But every once in a while, WWE would open up their handy-dandy kayfabe injury generator

00:20 and pick something a little more outside the box. Sometimes the results were good,

00:24 and sometimes you get the other 8 entries on this list. Foreshadowing, baby.

00:28 I'm Tempest Hailing from PartsFunKnown, and these are the 10 strangest kayfabe injuries in WWE history.

00:33 [Sigh] Hey Luke, have you got any ideas for the Surfshark ad?

00:39 Surfshark ad? Yeah, I'm writing the ad for Surfshark this month, but

00:42 I mean, I don't know what to say. I feel like everyone knows about Surfshark at this point,

00:46 right? What's a Surfshark?

00:47 It's a VPN. What's a VPN?

00:51 A virtual private network. Oh, so I'll be able to protect my data,

00:56 and watch content from overseas, and protect me from cybercrime?

01:00 Yes, Luke, and our audience will be able to secure their privacy online by using code

01:03 JAMTHATJAM to get 3 months extra for free using the link below.

01:06 I'm all out of ideas, I'll be honest with you. Maybe you could come in as a cowboy and

01:14 horse ride your way through the VPN world.

01:16 Well, howdy-do, y'all heard about Surfshark VPN-

01:22 [Sigh]

01:25 Luke, I think I'm just going to write up the conversation we had for the ad.

01:28 That'd be ridiculous, P. How would you end the video?

01:30 Well, I don't know.

01:33 Number 10. Fireball Burns - Randy Orton

01:46 As far as kayfabe injuries go, burns are not typically as strange as some of the entries

01:49 to come. Hell, everyone from Kane to Jim Ross to Holly Musgrave has been set on fire. It happens.

01:54 But the circumstances of what happened to Randy Orton landed a special place on this list.

01:59 After Orton had committed first-degree murder via fourth-degree burns, the Fiend and Mrs. Fiend,

02:03 Alexa Bliss, proceeded to haunt the Viper until WrestleMania. Orton had black goo erupt from his

02:08 mouth, he haunted himself at one point, and, crucially, he had a fireball thrown in his face

02:13 by the Lady Fiend herself. Fireballs have been a staple of wrestling dating back decades,

02:17 but the modern examples of this angle have shown us why this one might have been better

02:21 left in the territory days. Thankfully, Orton and company had the benefit of editing, and not really

02:26 that special effects, as this took place in the Thunderdome era, and so the actual fireball didn't

02:30 look that bad. But then the next time we saw Randy, he looked like he was preparing to rob a

02:34 bank and make his getaway down the slopes. Pandemic Wrestling was a bad cartoon that was

02:38 best forgotten as soon as possible, and the burn mask was one of many reasons we as a collective

02:43 have chosen to forget this cursed era ever happened. Number 9. Stab Wound - John Cena

02:49 John Cena, stabbed by Jesus, is one of my favorite sentences ever in the history of wrestling,

02:54 and you would better believe it gets said enough in the office for me to back that statement up.

02:57 Carlito's arrival on Smackdown in 2004 saw him win the United States Championship in his first

03:02 ever match against John Cena, and as the year went on, and Carlito added more W's to his resume,

03:07 his storylines got more and more bizarre as well, as his bodyguard, Jesus, was found to have stabbed

03:13 John Cena in a nightclub. This was a different era of WWE, where sometimes s*** would just happen.

03:19 You wanna see Kurt Angle shoot Big Show with a Trank Dart? Or see JBL chase Mexicans across

03:23 the border? Or see the future face of the company get stabbed in a nightclub? Well,

03:27 if this is what you were looking for in your wrestling, then my word was Smackdown for you.

03:31 Number 8. Snakebite - Triple H If you thought Triple H was bad in The

03:35 Chaperone, then congratulations for being one of the four people that saw The Chaperone,

03:39 but more importantly, you probably didn't see Triple H's acting in this segment.

03:42 Whimpering "How could you let this happen?" to Vince McMahon as he cried about the WWF

03:47 superstars putting their lives on the line for this company, while someone like Steve

03:51 Austin is bringing a rattlesnake to work. Hell, I'm surprised he even made the cut

03:54 for Blade Trinity in that movie's... Not very good. Anyway, back to the wrestling.

04:06 Triple H was bitten in the face by the Texas Rattlesnake's Texas Rattlesnake,

04:10 resulting in the game looking like he could place first in an ugly contest with the New

04:14 Hope version of Jabba the Hutt. Or was he? Yeah, this entry skirts the truth a little bit,

04:18 because by the end of this episode of Smackdown, Triple H revealed that he had kayfabed this

04:22 kayfabe injury, removing the makeup from his face and attacking Steve Austin. The snake was real,

04:27 but the bite was not. But if this is what you came here to see, may I offer you...

04:31 Number 7. Envenomation - Randy Savage I mean, that's a f***ing snakebite. That

04:36 snake is having a big ol' chomp right there. One of the great discrepancies of logic from the WWF

04:41 cartoon 80s wrestling era was that Jake Roberts carried around a giant snake for all those years,

04:46 and that snake never bit anyone. That would be like someone carrying around a sword for years

04:50 and never stabbing anyone with it. Well, after years of carrying around that lazy no-biting python,

04:55 Jake the Snake leveled up his reptile game by introducing Macho Man Randy Savage and Miss

05:00 Elizabeth to his new King Cobra named Lucifer. After ruining the match made in heaven,

05:05 Roberts sicked ol' Lucy on Macho Man again, this time going all the way and letting the snake have

05:09 a good long gnaw on Savage's arm, to the point that Jake has admitted that he couldn't get the

05:14 cobra off of him. Now, the bite might have been a little too real, we can see that with our own

05:18 eyes, but the storyline of Macho Man's envenomation, which is a word I learned especially for this list,

05:23 was a work of fiction. The snake was de-venomized, but still managed to create one of the most

05:27 visceral images in WWE history. Good job, Snake. Number 6. Jey Uso and Otis

05:33 Right, so sometimes I get assistance from lovely Jamie of WrestleTalk.com if I've not got the time

05:38 or brainpower to research these lists. But when I was sent an entry that just said "weirdly detailed

05:43 injury reports on Jey Uso and Otis", I thought he had simply misunderstood the assignment. But

05:48 then I started reading, and not only does this report from WWE.com belong on this list, I'm just

05:53 gonna read it word for word. "Following Friday Night Smackdown, WWE Digital has learned the

05:58 status of two blue brand superstars. Otis was evaluated by WWE Medical following Jey Uso's

06:03 attack. The evaluation revealed multiple areas of contusions and tenderness of the muscles

06:08 throughout the thoracic spine region. Examination of the bony regions of the thoracic spine and ribs

06:13 did not reveal any abnormalities. Jey Uso was sent to the trainer's room following his match with

06:18 Kevin Owens, and the ringside physician's evaluation revealed bilateral upper extremity

06:23 weakness as a result of stretching of the lower cervical nerve roots from the chair strikes. The

06:28 belief is that this weakness is temporary and should resolve over the next few days." What

06:33 the f*ck does any of that mean? Did ChatGPT write it? Did they pick words out of a hat?

06:39 Number 5. Possession. Reckoning. Do matters of black magic count as injuries? Well,

06:44 for the purposes of this list, if it incapacitates you, it's an injury. So Alexa Bliss hypnotizing

06:49 Nia Jax? Not an injury. But Mee Chin, aka Mia Yim, aka Reckoning, rolling around and pretending to

06:55 swallow her tongue in the middle of a Thunderdome Raw match? That's an injury. She's f*cking

06:59 incapacitated. And before anyone gets on my ass, Mee Chin confirmed her possession herself,

07:04 and who am I to argue with her? Retribution is remembered best for the destruction of that one

07:08 window and the name Slapjack, but Reckoning's possession was maybe the stupidest thing the

07:13 faction was ever connected to. Why did she come under the possession of a demon or practicer of

07:17 witchcraft? Not a clue. Was this ever brought up again? Not a chance. Number 4. Cursed. The

07:24 Ultimate Warrior. Sticking with the hocus pocus bullsh*t for a moment, we have this. One of the

07:28 more infamous moments of WWE's late realization that the 90s were about Rip Jemes and Nirvana,

07:33 and not cartoon wrestling for babies, where the Godfather, aka Kama Mustapha, aka Papa Shango,

07:39 put a curse on the Ultimate Warrior, causing him to clutch his tummy, fall to the ground,

07:42 and vomit green ooze. Plenty have spoken about their distaste for this angle, including Warrior

07:48 himself, as well as Bret Hart, with Bret in particular calling it maybe the worst idea

07:52 WWE ever had. And when a generational hater like Bret has words that strong to say, you better

07:57 believe I listen. Again, I must stress that this is what WWE thought was cool in May of 1992,

08:04 and I will contextualize this by reminding you all that Nirvana released Nevermind 8 months before

08:10 this, and Dr. Dre released The Chronix 7 months after. And yet here we were, stuck in the middle

08:15 with WWE and their very untubular ideas. Number 3. Electrocuted Testicles. Shane McMahon. I mean,

08:22 I don't know what more to say about this angle. It's exactly what it says on the tin. While over

08:26 on Smackdown you had the aforementioned Big Show tranking and John Cena stabbing, on Raw you had…

08:31 whatever the f*ck Kane was doing at the time. And at the time that was September 2003, what Kane

08:36 was doing was terrorizing Shane McMahon's nuts. When Kane tombstoned Linda McMahon,

08:41 Shane came to his mother's defense. He shouldn't have done that. Why, you ask? Well, because 2003

08:46 was the era of WWE where if you were feuding with Kane, it might mean being tied to the ring post

08:51 and having jumper cables attached to his nads and zapped with a car battery. Now, I love my

08:55 momma to death, but I think just having those things clamped to my junk would have had me ready

09:00 to tombstone her myself to get some relief. Shane needed a week to recover, and thankfully he did

09:04 because Unforgiven was just around the corner and Shane needed to jump off something.

09:08 #2. Extracted Eyeball - Rey Mysterio

09:11 Most of the time when people use the phrase "an eye for an eye," they don't really mean it. But

09:16 Rey Mysterio and Seth Rollins? They were about that life. Back in 2020, Seth Rollins had a mental

09:20 breakdown of sorts brought on by the news of his wife's pregnancy and also losing the WWE title

09:25 match the night before to Drew McIntyre. But between Drew McIntyre and an infant, I know who

09:29 I'm more scared of. Anyway, in Seth's mental haze, he crushed Rey Mysterio's eye on the corner of

09:34 the ring steps, and so began the near-year-long and ridiculous rivalry between the two.

09:38 While much of the pandemic wrestling era has faded from our minds, I don't think a wrestling

09:43 fan alive will ever be able to avoid the nightmare flashbacks that come with hearing the words,

09:47 "the eye for an eye match." A technically solid match between two expert wrestlers,

09:52 with the single stupidest winning condition in wrestling history. You win by extracting

09:57 the other man's eyeball. I don't care what anyone says, this was stupider than the Gulf of Mexico

10:02 match. And it may have been a CG eyeball, but the finish of that match saw Seth remove Rey's eye from

10:08 its socket and blow chunks all over. This was a stupid time in all our lives, but to end this list,

10:13 let's look at a stupid time in the life of Michael Cole instead.

10:16 And number one, anal bleeding. Jerry Lawler.

10:19 Sometimes when you come up with an idea for a list, you already know what the number one

10:23 entry is going to be. This is, regrettably, one of those times. Michael Cole was an absolute

10:28 menace to society from 2010 to 2012, and he was barely a member of society before that. But heel

10:33 announcer Michael Cole did his best to ruin the lives of all those who tuned into WWE programming

10:37 for those two years, as well as the life of his rival, Jerry Lawler. In addition to costing the

10:42 King the WWE Championship, bringing back Bryan Christopher for the saddest Attitude Era return

10:47 of all time, and showing up to their pay-per-view match covered in bubble wrap, Cole also felt the

10:51 need to address the fans at home following Lawler's assault at the hands of Mark Henry.

10:55 It is an address that became instantly infamous, and a damn fine reaction gif all at once,

11:00 as Cole alerted us that among Jerry's injuries, he was suffering from anal bleeding. To which

11:06 Booker T simply responded, "What?" My thoughts exactly, Booker. My thoughts exactly. Of course,

11:12 this was just another case of Vince McMahon being a jack-off, but in terms of a fake injury used to

11:16 further a wrestling storyline, I don't think you'll ever find one stranger than this.
