The Ladder Nailed Joey Mercury In The Face

[@KTF0]

Man, Ladder matches are brutal.

[@Pirustae]

"It's fake" 😂

[@Chuck_EL]

I watched that live and the crack you heard when it hit Joey's face was like someone throwing a bowling ball hitting pins And the fact he came on smackdown that Tuesday was impressive I believe that inspired WWE to turn John face later on due to the Babyface reaction M and M got

[@anut8733]

Let's be honest, even by attitude and ruthless aggression era standard where everyone ate chair shots to the head like it's nothing, that spot was just way too dangerous to do

[@SauceOnChickenBall]

Yes, wwe only allowed it because this was Jeff Harry's first return to wwe. They wanted a big event and a big moment from the match.

[@stephenthedude4383]

​@@SauceOnChickenBallno they've done it before, but this was definitely the last time that it was done 💀

[@nathanhill4245]

The first time they did it may let’s go of Edge and Christian so the ladder never hit them. You get the idea of the spot but E&C moved out the way early cause you know, who wants to eat a ladder? This time Matt just held them without letting go, this was a bad spot that could’ve been so much worse.

[@terencemiller2800]

@@anut8733 that could have been one hell of a fracture

[@krumhorniger1863]

Yeah and also what did they expect what would happen

[@Scarliner]

I mean, horrible accident no question, but Johnny trying to save the rest of the match instead of them going straight to the finish was brutal.

[@pleaseshutup7053]

The show must go on. Why would he go straight to the finish the medics were taking care of Joey. You need to think

[@braddorcas9363]

That's the business. He had a job to do still. He wasn't going to be able to do anything for Joey, the medical professionals were already well on it. So given he was well enough to continue he just did what he could to salvage it as a professional.

[@LordScrambles1]

The video has been out for about an hour, and the only comments are pornbots and people complaining about the pornbots. I reported the bots too, but it's crazy to me that this is where we are in the social media timeline.

[@dorinsmith2033]

Remember when people would rush to post "first" and that was kinda irritating, but whatever. This is such a dumb future

It's absolutely criminal that john Morrison didn't have a wwe title run.

[@baseupp12]

[@Orcabubeog]

Just scroll😅

[@psycho-mantis8316]

I wouldn't have done that spot. That's borderline maniacal.

[@jamesd4223]

This and Eddie in JBL’s sleeper hold while gushing blood were brutal. To this day when I think of them I cringe a little.

[@colynrobinson212]

The sleeper holds aren't even real my dude, they're literally just a gentle arm wrap, Eddie was safer in that hold than wandering around whole profusely losing blood. Him doing the frog splash while bleeding that much was FAR more dangerous than the "sleeper" hold

[@callamastia]

dang that spot looked way too dangerous to even pull off safely

[@curtisclayton8023]

The Hardys has been doing that spot for a decade without incident, at least nothing match altering like that. But after this, I don't think they've used it again

[@nevermind541]

Sad but great at the same time this is one of those moments that will never die

[@El-Fuego-_-1]

I think is by far the worst injury I’ve seen in professional wrestling

[@JDub0623]

Sid Vicious, WCW Sin PPV.. fractured leg 😱😵

Tyson kidd? Bret hart?

[@bluecollartradesman715]

Austin?…Droz?…Owen?

[@christinebuck8268]

Nothing worse than the G.L.O.W. match I watched years ago. The cheerleaders? I think were in the middle of a tag match. One of them gets thrown, suplexed or something and landed awkwardly. Saw her elbow breaking and dislocating in one fell swoop live. Probably one of the worst injuries I've seen in wrestling and my healthcare career.

[@Jaypc06]

@@bluecollartradesman7152 of the 3 you mentioned haven’t been seen lol

I remember watching it live, when Joey stood up on the floor and it started legit gushing there was an audible gasp from the audience. It was wild as hell to see live

[@lyamgray9796]

The most brutal spot in wrestling ive ever seen.

Gotta get those hands up boys

[@quisethegoat7217]

I’m just confused on how they looked taller back then versus back in 2014 when they were with Rollins and were J&J security

[@denny720]

I remember watching this match as a kid I thought bro lost an eye.

[@johnnykrash9806]

I was there that night! The match was great, but this spot was so brutal to watch!

[@williamwellmanii1368]

I remember that happening. That was a rough TLC match for Joey Mercury. Kudos to him. He took it like a champ. Messed up his face though.

I wish they would break down the matches and certain moments more in depth

[@wickitklown90]

Damn, I was 10-11 late for the happy hour. It should have been me!!!!

[@TheFailedmessiah]

Joey needed to have the EMTs come out and milk the injury. Throw up the X symbol ref. When he ran backstage. I remember Triple H was PISSED and so was vince. But the injury was extremely severe. But if that happens. They used to show it back in the day and would milk it for the cameras. Now when Edge hits the demon with a ladder to the face and is busted open the hard way. The camera cuts away on a PPV. Super soft. You get the cameras all in there. And show how gruesome it is. You can't have bloodless wrestling..

[@colynrobinson212]

You're fucking retarded. They did NONE of that. They showed his face bleeding profusely, cut the camera away and went back to the match. Go watch it right now, they did NOT A GOD DAMN BIT of what you're bitching about.

[@PepperStep_]

Watched this live as a kid remember it like crazy there was a lot of blood

[@unnamedx2]

What was that injury that he got exactly?

[@TheChosenMoose01]

Someone said he shattered his orbital and lost 35% of his vision, and i am fairly certain he broke his nose
