Ouch: The Worst Injuries In Professional Wrestling

Shawn Michaels’ Back Injury

At the 1998 “Royal Rumble”, Shawn Michaels faced The Undertaker in a casket match. Due to a back body drop that forced his back to hit the casket, he herniated two discs and completely destroyed one. While he retained the WWE Championship, he was forced to drop the title at “WrestleMania XIV.” In 1999, he went through surgery to repair the ruptured disks. Shawn Michaels was inducted into the hall of fame in 2011. He is still currently signed to the WWE and makes sporadic appearances and works as a trainer. He has also crossed over into acting and can most recently be seen in a film called The Resurrection of Gavin Stone.
