Ouch: The Worst Injuries In Professional Wrestling

Joe Thurman’s Broken Back

You’ve probably never heard of Joe Thurman before, but you have heard of one of his opponents. At the 1992 “Halloween Havoc” PPV, Vader had a handicap match between Thurman and TA McCoy. During the match, Vader broke Thurman’s back with a powerbomb. Is it any surprise that Vader was clearly on the dark side? Thurman amazingly recovered in a couple hours, but there’s no word if he returned to the squared circle again after that encounter. Again, how this guy was able to get up and walk away after literally breaking his back is totally insane. He is one lucky man.
