Ouch: The Worst Injuries In Professional Wrestling

Bret Hart’s Career-Ending Kick

At “Starcade ’99,” Bret Hart defended his WCW World Heavyweight Championship against Goldberg, who gave the Canadian a thrust kick to the head. The impact caused Hart to have post-concussion syndrome. Post-concussion syndrome is a disorder resulting from a previous concussion, resulting in a variety of symptoms that can include headaches and dizziness for weeks or months after the initial blow. In Bret’s case, his symptoms were serious enough to force him to retire from in-ring competition immediately after the match. That doesn’t mean the Hitman gave up on wrestling however. You can still find him around today, making appearances at various wrestling promotions.
