Eddie's death was really quite tragic, It was talked about in a show called Dark Side of the Ring during an episode talking about another wrestler Chris Benoit. Chavo Guerrero (Eddie's uncle) starts by saying that Eddie would pass out in the middle of a conversation they were having and found out that this happened in other situations as well. After checking in at the hotel they were staying in at Minneapolis, Chavo got a call from the front desk in the morning saying that something was wrong with Eddie and a security guard says that he didn't answer his wake up call. They go to his room and Chavo finds Eddie face down in the bathroom as if he was about to brush his teeth and he shakes him and cleanes his face and Eddie is just gurgling and passes in Chavo's arms. He was 38

[@Undivided-X]

There were two Chavos, one was Eddie's cousin, and the other (his son, the WWE wrestler) was Eddie's nephew. Neither were his uncle.

[@awzthemusicalreviews]

It’s amazing how many of these wrestlers powered through these injuries. I’m torn between mad respect and wanting to slap them for not getting medical attention sooner.

[@Robyamdam]

I can kinda see why this happens, as person who has wrestled (a bit) there is very little that can sour a crowd for an entire show like stopping the match for an injury and if its a multi man match its going to be harder for the other wrestlers because of the mental rewriting

Sadly alot of injuries/Illness are also mistreated or misdiagnosed either on accident or purpose. Happened to Bret Hart who had a severe concussion that wasn't caught. It also happened to CM punk who was sick but pumped so full of medicine he crapped himself midring.

[@vailingbow1068]

Pretty sure Rock. HHH and Kurt Angle wrestled and as HHH was pedigreeing Kurt through the table, the table prematurely collapsed and Kurt received a concussion. He went backstage while Rock and HHH free balled the rest of the match. Waiting on whether Kurt will come back or not.

[@DudeMcGuybro]

Yeah, the trick with the chair moves is to hit the lip of the chair on the other lip, and miss the guys head completely. It'll be really close, but your goal is to miss the guys head. I think with Edge being on the ladder, not having the right angle, etc caused him to miss the chair shot in the worst way possible.

[@tichtran664]

The funny part is that Edge in real life is married to Beth Phoenix who accidentally injured Candice Michelle. And Beth Phoenix is a very real life muscular and tough woman ( former amateur wrestler).

The Sexy Star/Rosemary injury was a huge controversy back when it happened.

[@solsticelacer]

The chair shot to the head on the ladder was an accident. The wrestler is supposed to hit the chair below their opponent with the chair they're holding, making a big noise but actually slightly missing the person. Because they were on a ladder and couldn't set up as perfectly as they would have liked, he actually got hit.

[@Videogamer-555]

Maybe they are supposed to intentionally miss if aiming for the head, but I've seen WWE matches on TV where the target is the torso, and the chair clearly does hit.

[@denysebrooks8770]

⁠@@Videogamer-555For the most part they know what each other can tolerate, body shot wise. A lot of them do hit, but a lot of the really bad looking stuff is choreographed.

Not to mention they’re literally childhood best friends so no obvious ill intentions.

[@MoonStone-f2w]

the chair shots to the head were real buddy... Tons of wrestlers were getting concussions and brain damage so they had to ban them.. They banned them after Chris Benoit's brain was shown to be severely, severely damaged with CTE

Thank you for clarifying about deafness! So many people don't understand that about deafness. I was born without the "hair" cells in my airs that transmit sound and I have gradually become deaf over time as more and more of those cells disappeared. People ask me all the time if I had an injury to my ear without understanding that it's inner-ear issues that cause deafness. You can cause temporary deafness from injury and certain trauma can cause issues but it's, as you said, more likely an inner-ear issue. Love your content Doc!

[@canderia]

The woman that refused to let go of the hold (which wasn't supposed to happen) completely ruined her career. It was a real shame because she had a ton of momentum and goodwill with fans, and she flushed it all away with one terrible decision.

[@keiththompson9435]

It’s very much a big rule never to do so intentionally and usually individuals get blacklisted because of it.

[@gagetaylor192]

I don't think it was just this one instance either. If I remember correctly (don't watch wrestling anymore due to work) she was reckless in general and hurt several wrestlers that shouldn't have been hurt.

[@zaor1]

Who was it, and why did this happen? Some kind of backstage drama?

[@Chuck_EL]

it's called "shooting" or "shoot" which in a promo it's fine if it helps your character and story you're in but doing it in a match is not tolerated A pro wrestling named New Jack did shoots but it was retaliation at one guy stabbing him in hks eye and one pushing him off a Stafford from 30 feet which caused him to get seizures That's why he wasn't banned

[@TinkSalsa]

​@@zaor1this was rosemary and sexy starr. Sexy starr is the one who wouldn't let go. She thought that rosemary was taking liberties and trying to injure her (which people believe to be false), so sexy starr decided to basically injure rosemary before she could injure her

He looked at that moment in his first WWE injuries video

[@N3K0MURF]

As a life long WWE fan who has been to several shows, in defense of the Con-Chair-to: when done properly, the chair hits the top of the other chair to make the noise and makes minimal contact with the head. It's still not ideal (for obvious reasons) but is safer than it looks

[@danielland3767]

Yeah I agree..their is a unique talent to performing your own stunts

[@soylencer]

Yeah the failure here is that it was on top of the ladder. It's likely that he was relying on the bottom chair more heavily to make the noise, but the bottom chair is not fixed or flat so it levered up and Christian got it from both sides.

[@N3K0MURF]

@@soylencer Yup, it's a fantastic move for television, but not great for safety

[@matthewuzulis5016]

@@soylencer I would argue there is much more that went into that accident. First your talking about a PPV match so they are going harder than they normally would so higher adrenaline as well as greater fatigue. This would be done later in the match and probably done in a recovery period after a good bit of action (Recovery period as in they will use slower paced parts to help build suspense while giving the wrestlers a moment to catch their breaths) Next you need to consider Edge was standing on a ladder, it's not the easiest thing to do normally, now add in the big movements so your footing is not that stable let alone the ladders will shift with that kind of movement. It is a delicate thing in the best of conditions let alone what was going on there. Still respect both of them.

[@soylencer]

@@matthewuzulis5016 well sure, but I was talking about the "mechanism of injury" here. If you do the regular ground conchairto it's really quite difficult to injure somebody as long as you can aim straight.

Mick Foley ear loss was half the story. Before the match one of the wrestlers said the ropes were slack, they weren't, but the officials tightened them anyway. One of Micks signature moves back then was to flip around the rope and be in like a hangman position. He was being actually hung though so he forced the ropes over his face, causing the ear to tear.

[@TonySamedi]

I hadn't scrolled far enough so I'd just wrote basically the same comment lol. I'll add the one thing in my comment that's not covered here. Folks should read Mick Foleys "Have A Nice Day" book, one of the few autobiographies of a wrestler actually written by the wrestler.

[@RavenStorm332]

the incident with Rosmary is when wrestlers "go into business for themselves" or go off script usually because of personal things that happen backstage or if while in the ring one wrestler decides to "no sell" a move which no selling is considered disrespectful.

[@quntface1518]

The weird thing about pro wrestling is that because it's dismissed as "not real" the performers often feel like they want to try harder to be "tough" and as it's not a traditional sport there isn't really any mandatory doctor stoppage.

[@mimcduffee86]

They are actors. The only time an actor wants to break character while filming is intentional 4th wall breaks. It's more that because people want to think it is entirely fictional, the injuries that are suffered are also fictional.

[@animefan7424]

There have been matches called off due to medical reasons both kayfabe and real

[@soylencer]

They do have ringside medics, and they do their best, like in an MMA fight, to decide how bad an injury is. For better or worse, they're not really supposed to get injured at all, but considering the contact, they're not getting their heads knocked in like in boxing or MMA, and that means you can't always see the injuries if there's not broken skin or something bent the wrong way or nobody seemed concussed.

[@shaynewheeler9249]

[@Nateisthegreatest2013]

3:03 the reason why he did that is because it is supposed to be safe; one chair is under the victim’s head, and another chair is supposed to look like it hit the victim’s head, but it is actually getting really close to hitting their head and the noise is just the edge of the chairs colliding. This was an accident

[@AbyssalLeporidae]

1:18 This match took place in Germany under WCW. The other wrestler, Vader, wasn't the only factor playing into Mick's ear getting ripped off. They had previously done a maneuver where Mick tumbles over the top rope and gets his head/neck twisted up between the 2nd and 3rd ropes. At that point he's hanging on the outside of the ring with extreme pressure on the sides of his neck. Another wrestler had complained that the "ropes" (WCW used elevator cables covered in rubber) were too loose and had been tightened earlier in the evening, now causing Mick to become trapped and begin passing out. He (rightfully) panicked and managed to push his head through the ropes. Tearing his right ear most of the way off in the process. Regardless of whether he knew it or not at the time (he didn't), on with the match.

[@ibemanny99]

7:44 he mentioned on an episode of his podcast that some lucky choices he made saved him; he wore his loose long coat that could be removed easily and he’d doused himself in water before the match.

[@bigbeecole]

There is some missing context in this for Mick Foley losing his ear, at least how it's presented in the video. They, Mick Foley and Vader, are wrestling in Germany. Mick goes for the "Hangman spot", a stunt where he goes over the top rope but gets his head tangled between the top and middle ropes. Normally, there would be enough tension to give the appearance of him being choked by the ropes, but still enough room to breathe. Unfortunately the crew responsible for assembling the ring over-tightened the ropes on the ring that night, and when he goes for the spot, he is legitimately being strangled. So as the officials and medical team try to pry him out from the ropes, his ear gets sinched in between the ropes, and the ropes tear his ear mostly from his head. They continue the match, and you see from there how his ear is ultimately torn from his head.

Ah, a new Doctor Mike video, bound to learn something. "-where you can have intestines in your scrotum" I regret having the ability to learn

[@lucky_block_head]

He should have put that no signal screen

[@pedrostormrage]

4:04 "You can actually have intestines in your scrotum" Well, that's a new fear I have now 😨

At WrestleMania 39 at SoFi Stadium this year, we witnessed our fair share of injuries including Finn Balor getting his head stapled in the ring after a botched move with a ladder; and Shane McMahon tore his quad during his cameo appearance 😳

[@OnlineStandUp]

Doc Mike, amazing content, though I would love to see your reaction to Katsuyori Shibatas injury at NJPWs Wrestlekingdom.All I was told is that it was the worst concussion in recent history and that its called a dehydrated brain I think. I would love to understand more, especially since Shibata actually fully recovered even after wrestling for another 15~20 minutes.

[@margaretmyers782]

Explains alot about my elbow, thanks Dr Mike

[@austinkownack]

When Shane fell from the cage the announcers table had a cushioning to it because there’s an airbag and he was all right, but it had to hurt. I know it from a video.😂

I remember first learning about Strabismus a few years ago. I briefly researched it because for reasons unknown to me, I can direct my left eye to dart outward while staring forward with my right eye and vice versa. I assumed it was so form of esotropia but when I asked the eye doctors I saw at the time, they just told me I have loose muscles in my eye. I don’t know whether or not it’s true considering I’ve never experienced any injuries or had any developing traumas to give me the “ability,” it’s just something I’ve always been able to do since childhood.

[@sindabuettner4842]

I have a lot of elbow and wrist issues due to working years at call centers. Lots of PT and just always being aware of how I’m sitting to try to avoid aggravating more issues.

[@DawnTheEquestrian]

I love watching these! You should totally react to equestrian injuries. I've seen some bad ones.

[@jduke93]

Loved how he used wrestlelamia and tap out center videos, if you haven’t watched their videos and you’re a wrestling fan, I definitely recommend watching them

[@potork]

Great job doctor Mike! Love your vids!

[@totz_the_plaid9625]

I've phrased these to not fully spoil Dr. Mike, but here are some more worth examining: Sid's leg Vader's eye Vince McMahon Rumble 05 Sabu's arm Bill Alfonso vs. Beullah Mabel vs. Taker X-Pac Bronco Buster Abdullah's forehead in general Cornette falls from the scaffold Becky's nose New Jack & Vic Grimes [both times] Brock's moonsault ...pro wrestling fans should all know at least a few of these from those descriptions alone.

[@jaysonmendes3072]

6:11 Is that a SUPRA!?😂

[@ezekiel6628]

I have had bumps on my elbows from sitting at my desk and now i know! Thanks doc

[@auslandermercury972]

7:19 Doctor Mike: That’s not *that* cool 😂

[@Frixthecorporal]

Yoo u never dissapoint its always entertaining to watch you!

[@ashleymoore2560]

I would love to see you react to hockey injuries!

[@AidenBare456]

Its pretty crazy knowing the first one can happen that easy

[@jss27560]

I had the same thing. It's the first one just called Popeyes elbow. They drained it once or twice and ended up Just removing the sack and they go back. In the WWE and some of the other league say bad to share shots cuz they realize how much damage he was doing to the head.

[@donkarnage6032]

There wasn't a lot of explanation on how Mick Foley's ear fell off but he used to do a spot where he would go over the ropes but get his head caught in the twisted ropes. On that particular night the ropes were too tight and Mick was unable to easily free himself from the ropes. His opponent(Vader) came over and pushed Mick's head downward to get him free. His ear ripped off when he was freed from the ropes.

[@Megatron7109]

4:14 my grandpa actually has an incarcerated bowel but he lives a healthy life and never had any problems

[@devinbalzano5088]

Mick foley is the best, dude has put his body on the line so many times, that giving up on carpentry joke is absolutely funny and just goes to show how cool of a guy he is

[@renettelargueza5486]

Thanks for a very good and detailed explanation❤

[@Juanito77017]

10:01 that one wasn’t planned, That actually got her banned and blackballed from most wrestling companies

[@Robyamdam]

I kinda wish Mike would look at non-WWE Wrestling spots/injuries mostly because of morbid curiosity because the stuff they do is sometimes much more dangerous than WWE

[@aicsynthesizer]

3:00 since WWE’s inception, up until Chris Benoit incident (partially or fully caused by the huge amount of CTE caused by flying headbutts and chair shots), the chairshot to the head was as normal as taking a stomp to the head on the steps, or a punch lol

[@eder6910]

Around 6:20, I'm pretty sure Kofi Kingston was born without those muscles instead of either steroid use or harmed throughout his career

[@florianreimann3166]

I grew up watching them and loving their matches and I gotta say, it's a fricking miracle that Edge & Christian and the Hardy Boys are still able to wrestle today, after all the high risk stunts they pulled back in the day and all the injuries they had

[@Harrison-ck3uq]

Doctor Mike never fails to entertain us
