Last week while wrestling a match against Kane at a house show in Dublin, Ireland, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins landed awkwardly after a failed powerbomb attempt.

The fall didn’t look that bad, especially when you consider the amount of shit these guys put their bodies through almost every night of the week. But the reality of Rollins’ fall was catastrophic. When he landed, he tore is anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), his meniscus, and his medial collateral ligament (MCL). In short, he got super fucked up.

And yet he still somehow managed to get to his feet and put Kane through a table. That takes strength of both body and mind. Personally, I have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning, and there isn’t anything currently “torn” on me. That is, unless you count my will to live.

But I digress....

Next Sunday is Survivor Series in Atlanta. Rollins was originally supposed to defend his title against Roman Reigns. But with Rollins now projected to be out of action for the next six to nine months (some are speculating even as long as a year), that match has now become a tournament (it started with 16 wrestlers this past Monday on Raw) that will eventually crown the new WWE Heavyweight Champ.

Of course, we wish Rollins well in his recovery. He’s a great wrestler and seems to be a genuinely good guy. But we’ve seen this exact thing happen many times before: guys at the top who are pushed into an insane amount of nonstop action, only to lose it all when something snaps. Literally.

Here are five more wrestlers who risked losing everything when injuries caught up with them.

Edge

Edge’s last televised match happened in April 2011 at WrestleMania XXVII. He’d successfully defended the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Alberto Del Rio in a singles match, but on Raw a little over a week later he’d announce his retirement from the business and relinquish his title. It wasn’t a single injury that did Edge in, though a 2003 neck injury would prove to be his most damaging. Instead, nearly two decades of wrestling had finally caught up with him. After experiencing arm numbness, Edge was diagnosed with cervical spinal stenosis. Technically, he could continue to wrestle, but one bad move could result in either neck paralysis or death. Instead, Edge did the smart thing and walked away...and then went on to become supervillain Atom-Smasher on CW’s The Flash.

Daniel Bryan

Daniel Bryan was the little guy (with the goat face) who could, but you wouldn’t know it based on his WWE World Heavyweight Championship track record. His first two runs as Champ lasted less than a day each (due to “controversial finishes” which, let’s be honest, we’ve all experienced at one time or another), so when he won the belt a third time at WrestleMania XXX, everyone thought he’d finally caught a break. Everyone was wrong. Soon after, Bryan lost strength in his right arm. That May, he underwent neck surgery (with a cervical foraminotomy, which is hard to spell and therefore sounds terrifying) to decompress a nerve root. But while the surgery proved successful, Bryan would never reclaim the greatness he once held for a very brief 64 days. Oddly enough, at WrestleMania 31 Bryan won the Intercontinental Championship in a seven-man ladder match. Less than two months after that, he’d have to relinquish that title due to being unable to wrestle because of concussion-related injuries.

Earlier this year, he appeared as a judge (alongside Paige, The Miz, and Hulk Hogan) on the sixth season of the company’s reality TV series Tough Enough.

Droz

To be clear, this is easily the saddest story of the bunch. Droz made his WWF debut in 1998. He wasn’t expected to be a huge player at the time, but the company was definitely pushing him. He even made a brief appearance in the documentary Beyond the Mat as Puke, a character who could, you guessed it, throw up on command.

But Droz’s days as a wrestler were numbered. During an October 5, 1999 taping of SmackDown!, Droz was dropped on his head by D’Lo Brown who failed to execute a proper powerbomb. Droz fractured two disks in his neck and became a quadriplegic in the process. Amazingly, Droz continued to work for WWF, writing articles for the company’s website and magazine. Today, Droz has regained the use of his arms and upper body.

Sting

Sting will forever be the face of WCW, but WWE started to make a huge push for his wrestling return (and WWE debut) at the end of 2014. He appeared at Survivor Series and Fastlane in the build up to WrestleMania 31, where he would compete in his first-ever WWE match against Triple H. Sting lost that match, but he’d still pop in and out of the company’s brands in the following months.

But when Sting faced Seth Rollins at Night of Champions this past September, he suffered a neck injury after being powerbombed into a turnbuckle. (Anyone else sense a reoccurring theme here? Seriously, maybe the powerbomb should be banned.) Sting’s WWE career (to date, at least) lasted nine months and two matches. Then again, the man is 56 years old. At this point, he’d be smart to heed the famous words of wise man Roger Murtaugh:

Batista

In June 2009, Batista won his first WWE World Heavyweight Championship (not to be confused with just the World Heavyweight Championship) by defeating Randy Orton in a steel cage match at Extreme Rules. Two days later, he tore his bicep and was forced to vacate the title. Since then, Batista has made numerous returns to the WWE, and he even held the Championship again for 35 days in 2010.

But let’s be honest here: the man now has Guardians of the Galaxy and Spectre under his belt. His interest in winning another Championship belt is probably pretty minimal at this point.
