My take away from this is HHH has incredible resilience and pain threshold. To continue on so many matches after so many things going wrong is amazing. He truly deserves his current role of head of creative as his passion for the business is unmatched.
@@GLimJamm Yes. The abuse of pain killers in pro wrestling has been rampant for decades. It seems like it's impossible to know anything about pro wrestling and NOT know about this. Brock, Rey, Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, Kurt Angle all got in deep with them. WWE has been notorious for how hard it works its wrestlers, traveling 300+ days a year and doing constant shows while injuries add up without enough time to rehab them. So how do you get through it? Pills. Some pills lead to more pills lead to dependency and addiction and bigger problems. It's very likely that any given WWE wrestler you watched had some amount of opioid still in their system.
Steroids from before, bodies natural adrenaline to combat the pain, a quid pill passed off by the reff to help him through. Plenty of drugs. @@jarlwhiterun7478
Say what you want about his "reign of terror" but the fact that Trips allowed Y2J to put the Walls on him with a torn quad, something he did NOT have to do, tells how tough and how much of a professional he is.
@@thundergaming5785Even though his Reign of Terror wasn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be, and there have been far worse (Hulk Hogan, Jeff Jarret, Brock Lesnar, John Cena, etc.)
@@bwareist I agree. John Cena was by himself at the top of the mountain for damn near a decade and Lesnar's been burying dudes from the second he first showed up. That's why 'Taker is so respected amongst his peers. He wasn't too proud to share the spotlight.
His reign of terror was so. But it was a throw back to pro wrestling years where they would have long title reigns, building to popularity/hatred, for the next guy to really be put over when he finally wins. For example, Benoit ended the reign of terror, in one of the best title wins, ever.

FACTS and the fact that both got injured on a baseball slide one of the most easiest move you could do in wrestling shows that you can get injured on any move.
Stunned that Owen hart vs steve austin's match did not make this list. I know they rushed the finish but it should've ended right there without that finish austin could've really caused a lot more damage just from moving.
@@TheDrummerGamerThis is correct. HBK said he didn't know he was hurt until the Wednesday after the PPV when he couldn't get out of bed but felt fine before (likely only because he was so pilled up)
With a video like this, of course, Triple H is on the thumbnail. Whether you like Hunter or not, you have to give him credit for continuing matches after he injured his quad. IMO, the "Triple H and Stone Cold vs Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho" match from 2001 is one of the best matches in RAW history.
The part that impressed me the most is Triple H carrying out the spot where he was put into the walls of Jericho on the announce table. When Triple H told Jericho to do it Chris was shocked that he wanted to carry the spot. It takes a special person to be in excruciating pain already and then allows himself to be in even more pain just to carry out the match.
I know a quad tear is extremely painful, but it’s not life threatening. Triple H continued the first ever Elimination Chamber match with a crushed windpipe for a most of the match. It was almost swollen shut and almost killed him. That’s where the respect for him wrestling injured really comes from
@@runrafarunthebestintheworldlooking at what they went through in hindsight makes me say those guys were insane. However I can't help but respect the ability to want to carry the match for business and entertainment.
Jericho doesn't get enough credit for being such a professional. And to think nash and hall basically pushed him to leave WCW, not knowing that he would become more of a legend in wwf
Pushing through the match with an injury is such an old school thing and it's pretty sad that matches won't stop due to the fear of Vince McMahon giving them heat
After the Goldberg Undertaker nightmare, Undertaker’s main work was against AJ styles, primarily because it’s known throughout the business that he can carry a match with an injured/compromised opponent and make it look awesome. In a TNA match Chris Daniels dislocated his shoulder and Styles took over making Daniels look completely dominant (as planned) in another match, Samoa Joe was briefly knocked out and lost his awareness of where he was. AJ made it look like it was a hard, dominant Joe victory. There are other incidents as well, where he kept an opponent outside the ring on a tag team match, to cover their injury and flipped it so instead of them doing the finish their partner did.
Bruce Prichard said sugar glass was used in the Shane/Kurt match, but it had to be coated so it wouldn’t shatter during the pyro at the start of the show. The coating made it stronger than regular glass
Personally, when a Wrestler keeps performing, it's not brave, professional, or what the fans want. Want all fans want is to see them all perform for years to come.
That right there is exactly why wrestling sucks today and will never be the same. Wrestlers back then performed like there was no tomorrow and laid it all on the line because they were the only ones in the world courageous enough to do what they do and they fully immersed themselves in it knowing that fact. It was that predisposition that reflected in every aspect of the product. That's why it was so iconic and we remember it with such fondness.
It's insane to think that The Undertaker had a 30 year career and was fighting through injuries most of the time, never taking more than maybe a few months while he was full-time
@@tamzidmohsinkhan3333 It's a train wreck with a botch that almost killed a man. They do like three movies the whole time and half the match is people standing around.
By the way. From what i remember, it's believed undertakers broken neck dates back to the late 90s. That mean he wrestled so 10, 15 years without knowing about it
The moments you covered all happened in these wrestlers' careers within their respective generation. You barely see these matches happening anymore in today's time. Thanks for the memories, WWF/E.
Chris Jericho is the absolute most professional wrestler in modern times. The guy literally is passionate about showmanship, professionalism, and safety in the ring.
@redrick8900 Yes it was, you can watch their commentary video on it. Where Foley says it was supposed to hold for a few slams before breaking, Mick even wanted to do a second bump on the thumbtacks because he didn't think he got all of them too according to the same video.
2:57 Damn! Face first. That was nasty af. How hard was Jericho pulling down? Im pretty sure Bubba wasnt meant to fly face first into the mat. Good job for both of them working it through!
Edge vs Balor hell in a cell was another crazy one. They literally stapled Balor up in the middle of the match. One of the craziest things ive ever seen.
It speaks to the toxic work environment at WWE when talent would rather wrestle injured than end a match early due to fear of upsetting Vince....but God forbid Shane gets hurt 🤣😒!
While that may account for some of it, I think for most, it was the passion and dedication to the craft. The true Wrestlers, the ones who live and breathe it, who have it in their bones, would rather make an injury 4 times worse than give up on the match. Endings can be changed on the fly, new storyline can be implemented for the coming months while they are out. But you finish the match. Is it old school outdated thinking? Yes. But that's also where the passion, determination and respect for the craft comes from... those that came before you. Those that lived their life in kayfabe. Those that did the job as long as they were physically able to. And to the younger guys, if those that came before, especially Vince himself, is watching you... you don't want to disappoint him. You don't want to let yourself down in front of him.
@redrick8900 So...not enough, because your food is always bland 🤣? You're one of those old people who has nothing but free time to relive the glory days... It is toxic, but based on previous comments, you support racism and discrimination in wrestling...which isn't a shock when you're from an era of talentless wrestlers like Ultimate Warrior. Have a seat, grandpa.
I 1000% agree on Kurt Angle/Shane McMahon as well as JBL and Eddie Guerrero... those ones were SCARY! Honorable mentions are not as brutal but still yikes (wrestling is brutal but sometimes ya need time out!) Kairi Sane/Asuka vs Becky Lynch/Charlotte should had also been stopped since Charlotte concussed Kairi and had gotten a penalty because its atrocious from wrestler to injure talent on purpose. Becky was MVP for protecting Kairi. Conclusions - shorten careers and being sloppy is not cute Nia/Kairi Sane as well LOW-KEY because yes Nia is ''Powerhouse' but she was super careless esp. when she bucklebombed/stairs (if you dont know how to do the move... dont fn do it unless you perfect it) as well as Bayley match up ... even I know you have to protect your opponent... and if Piper Niven can protect smaller talent what is Nia's excuse(.. not hating just asking (Accidents happen and she will not be first and only who harms but thus you work together to not make it worse even I know it!)
You left one out😳 The “I quit” match between the Rock & Mankind was brutal. I remember watching it & thinking Mankind was going to die as he was trying to one up his match from the previous yr (the cage match with the Undertaker).
Beyond stupid to even continue any match with any of these injuries. Could cause even more potential damage and even death. Not cool to always "fight thru the pain".
Maven just went over his injury a couple weeks ago on his TH-cam series. Props to him for sticking it out!!! Also....catch Mavens TH-cam videos. They are awesome!!!!
And he dislocated his shoulder getting thrown off the top of the cell and bit his tongue in half getting chokeslammed through the top and when undertaker hit him with the steps his tooth broke through his nose and was sticking out
The stars from the attitude era/ruthless aggression era are 2nd to none. A vast majority risked their health and careers just to entertain us and we love them for that! Say whatever you'd like to say but Eddie and Chris! We miss you ever so much! Things most definitely haven't been the same without yous! Crying😭
And to think how much blood Eddie Guerrero lost with his heart issues it's amazing he even lived. And even Undertaker stated he thought he killed Mick Foley. These performers have no medical insurance either and that's bs.and Taker is amazing cause I've been concussed and the whole world is spinning and out of focus. Can't believe he finished that match. Concussions are no joke. And a broken neck......nope. Not cool.
He chose to finish the match because if he didn't, he would be looked down on by the office and by his fellow wrestlers. It was basically peer pressure.
@@redrick8900 Dude, its so true. All you have to do is look at shoot interviews to know that was the culture in WWE (and wrestling as a whole) at the time. Also, no one should be pressured to work when they're hurt. How do you think so many wrestlers have ended up addicted painkillers and other drugs? (Including Maven hinself?!)
@@mistermann3225 No it isn't. Nobody got lookoed down on for stopping a match for injury. People did get great respect for finishing a match injured. Those are two different things. I know more about wrestling than you. "no one should be pressured to work when they're hurt" Happens in literally every job. People who aren't wrestlers get addicted to pain killers and other drugs too. Are you going to tell me that rock stars are pressured to work injured and that's why they are addicts? You have no argument.
@@redrick8900 you sound like an absolute idiot. I'm not going to feed the troll. You can say something, but many wrestlers have spoken these things out of their own mouth. And they know a whole lot more about wrestling than you. Also, just because people work through pain at other jobs doesn't make it okay. Doing that absolutley destroys your quality of life as you get older. And come on, do you think that so many wrestle through horrendous injury if there wasn't pressure to do it? Wrestlers fear not being respected by their peers, or losing their spot to injury....
I was a huge Maven fan- watched him on tough enough - and his whole run in WWE - such a good guy and a nice wrestler - Trips didn't have to do the walls - but that shows you what a serious competitor he is - ❤️
Your lists are ALWAYS missing things. You should have included "I QUIT" Match between Mick Foley & The Rock. Mick Foley got hit with 11 chair shots directly to his head. The match should have ended early.
Honorable mentioned: 1. Steve Austin vs Owen Hart - Summerslam 1997 2. HHH and Austin vs Jericho and Benoit - Raw 2001 3. Sting vs Rollins 4. Undertaker vs Roman Reigns - WM33
Undertaker vs Mankind was one of the most well known wrestling through injury in the attitude era. He had a busted lip, concussion, separated shoulder, and broken teeth. Not even going to mention the Cody Rhodes vs Seth Rollins hell in a cell match working with a torn pectoral muscle.
I was at the HHH and Austin vs Beniot and Jerhico. I was in high-school at the time. The best match I've ever seen live. The crowd didn't realize what had happened until the show was off the air and HHH was being helped up the ramp.
Wrestlelamia: The well being of the wrestler should always be highest priority! Mick Foley, approaching from behind with a folding chair: I have decided to take this personally.
But it couldn't last on national TV. TNN censored the hell out of it, and then cancelled them in favour of the WWF, who in the Attitude/RA eras got away with more on that channel than ECW did...
From my understanding, Mankind was definitely supposed to go through the cage on that choke slam. The problem was if it was going to be on the first slam or not.
Under the "Undertaker Vs. Goldberg" segment you wrote "Undertaker vs Shane McMahon" Just FYI. I can help edit your videos if you would like I do it for a living :)
Goldberg was _never_ in his prime as a wrestler! He was little more than window-dressing. A perfect example of everything wrong with the business. He looked the part. He spoke the part. The crowd loved him.... He had almost zero in-ring ability with the exception of his Spear. Which he'd botch far too often and concuss himself. Oh, and all those years he was on the scene, he learned almost nothing. Plus, clearly had zero desire to learn and improve his in-ring ability. That match with the Undertaker was going to be a disaster before it even began. Goldberg needs to have very short matches, and needs to be in the ring with wrestlers who ARE in their prime. That way, they can hold his hand during the match and make him look good. At that point, Undertaker was incapable of doing that. Want to see what happens when a veteran wrestler has no desire to make Goldberg look good? Take a look at his match against Regal during his WCW days. Goldberg looked like a stumbling fool in that match. That's the real Goldberg.
Should've stopped the match when the undertaker killed the Hulksta. Thankfully the Hulksta is super human brotha and he revived himself right there. What kinda mad man holds their opponent tight and safely? Its a miracle the Hulksta managed to recover and come back from that. But he did brother
Undertaker vs Mankind (Mick Foley) is funny now that I've watched their reunion video that they did recently in which Undertaker went over to the ref after dropping Foley into the tacks a second time and saying "Make sure he stays down!" 😆
My take away from this is HHH has incredible resilience and pain threshold. To continue on so many matches after so many things going wrong is amazing. He truly deserves his current role of head of creative as his passion for the business is unmatched.
Definitely.
Say what you want about him being a backstage politician during his career. The guy was incredibly tough and dedicated to his craft.

And he dislocated his shoulder getting thrown off the top of the cell and bit his tongue in half getting chokeslammed through the top and when undertaker hit him with the steps his tooth broke through his nose and was sticking out
I hate injuries
The stars from the attitude era/ruthless aggression era are 2nd to none. A vast majority risked their health and careers just to entertain us and we love them for that! Say whatever you'd like to say but Eddie and Chris! We miss you ever so much! Things most definitely haven't been the same without yous! Crying😭
Mick Foley deserves his own seperate list.
idc, Eddie vs JBL was the bloodiest match in wwe history despite how much blood Eddie lost in that match.
And to think how much blood Eddie Guerrero lost with his heart issues it's amazing he even lived.
And even Undertaker stated he thought he killed Mick Foley. These performers have no medical insurance either and that's bs.and Taker is amazing cause I've been concussed and the whole world is spinning and out of focus. Can't believe he finished that match. Concussions are no joke. And a broken neck......nope. Not cool.
Wwe didn’t push maven to finish the match. He chose to finish the match.
He chose to finish the match because if he didn't, he would be looked down on by the office and by his fellow wrestlers. It was basically peer pressure.
@@mistermann3225 So? Also not true.
@@redrick8900 Dude, its so true. All you have to do is look at shoot interviews to know that was the culture in WWE (and wrestling as a whole) at the time. Also, no one should be pressured to work when they're hurt. How do you think so many wrestlers have ended up addicted painkillers and other drugs? (Including Maven hinself?!)
@@mistermann3225 No it isn't. Nobody got lookoed down on for stopping a match for injury. People did get great respect for finishing a match injured. Those are two different things. I know more about wrestling than you.
"no one should be pressured to work when they're hurt"
Happens in literally every job.
People who aren't wrestlers get addicted to pain killers and other drugs too. Are you going to tell me that rock stars are pressured to work injured and that's why they are addicts?
You have no argument.
@@redrick8900 you sound like an absolute idiot. I'm not going to feed the troll. You can say something, but many wrestlers have spoken these things out of their own mouth. And they know a whole lot more about wrestling than you. Also, just because people work through pain at other jobs doesn't make it okay. Doing that absolutley destroys your quality of life as you get older. And come on, do you think that so many wrestle through horrendous injury if there wasn't pressure to do it? Wrestlers fear not being respected by their peers, or losing their spot to injury....
Anyone else here way prefer watching stuff about wrestling than actually watching wrestling?
"The Undertaker vs Goldberg"
The card said The Undertaker vs Shane McMahon. 😂
Rock VS Mankind - I Quite Match, this should have been on this list!
3:51 Says "The Undertaker vs Goldberg"
Me seeing "The Undertaker vs Shane McMahon""
(I think I need to put the bottle down.) 🥴
That Eddie blade.. I was not alive when it happened, but I’m now gonna find the match and watch it.
watch with caution because the amount of blood loss is nothing short of frightening
Judgement Day 2004
I was a huge Maven fan- watched him on tough enough - and his whole run in WWE - such a good guy and a nice wrestler - Trips didn't have to do the walls - but that shows you what a serious competitor he is - ❤️
#6 Undertaker vs Shane McMahon
3:52 Undertaker vs Shane McMahon or Goldberg 🤔
When sycho Sid continued an already horrible match with a broken in half leg that disturbed me
3:52 u hear undertaker vs Goldberg but read undertaker vs Shane
Your lists are ALWAYS missing things. You should have included "I QUIT" Match between Mick Foley & The Rock. Mick Foley got hit with 11 chair shots directly to his head. The match should have ended early.
3:56 Undertaker vs Shane McMahon (should’ve been typed Goldberg) 😬
No 6 Goldberg spelt Shane Mcmahan LOL 😂
Every New Jack's matches should be on this list
I really don't know where wrestlelamia comes up with ideas cos I couldn't manage to do it.
Undertaker vs shane but he is saying undertaker vs goldberg... mistake
Fun fact maven makes a youtube channel
The JBL and Eddie match definitely should've been stopped. Eddie was probably minutes from bleeding out
Not how bleeding out works. If you are climbing and jumping you are far from bleeding out.
Mankind vs Rock I quit match was brutal
Honorable mentioned:
1. Steve Austin vs Owen Hart - Summerslam 1997
2. HHH and Austin vs Jericho and Benoit - Raw 2001
3. Sting vs Rollins
4. Undertaker vs Roman Reigns - WM33
Undertaker vs Mankind was one of the most well known wrestling through injury in the attitude era. He had a busted lip, concussion, separated shoulder, and broken teeth.
Not even going to mention the Cody Rhodes vs Seth Rollins hell in a cell match working with a torn pectoral muscle.
I was at the HHH and Austin vs Beniot and Jerhico. I was in high-school at the time. The best match I've ever seen live. The crowd didn't realize what had happened until the show was off the air and HHH was being helped up the ramp.
Brock Lesnar vs. Kurt Angle
Sting vs. Seth Rollins
Owen Hart vs. Steve Austin
3:50 The Undertaker vs Shane McMahon???
3:52 the Undertaker vs Shane McMahon lol
Wrestlelamia: The well being of the wrestler should always be highest priority!
Mick Foley, approaching from behind with a folding chair: I have decided to take this personally.
Early 2000's bloodshed was insane given it was on regular tv.
But it couldn't last on national TV. TNN censored the hell out of it, and then cancelled them in favour of the WWF, who in the Attitude/RA eras got away with more on that channel than ECW did...
3:50
We love the WL videos, but I had to point out this botch as no one else did 🤣
3:51 - the card says Undertaker v Shane McMahon when the match being talked about is Undertaken v Goldberg
Man, listening to Kurt Angle on Rogan's podcast and him talking about how many times he broke his neck is insane
For Goldberg and undertaker it’s listed as taker vs Shane. Love your work just pointing this out!
Atleast I am not the only one who noticed
From my understanding, Mankind was definitely supposed to go through the cage on that choke slam. The problem was if it was going to be on the first slam or not.
They weren't even supposed to be up there. Foley could hear things breaking with every step.
(Info from his auto biography)
No rock vs mankind? I was totally expecting that to be number one
Under the "Undertaker Vs. Goldberg" segment you wrote "Undertaker vs Shane McMahon" Just FYI. I can help edit your videos if you would like I do it for a living :)
Cody rhodes literally faking the injury with judgment day pissed me off..
Goldberg was _never_ in his prime as a wrestler! He was little more than window-dressing. A perfect example of everything wrong with the business. He looked the part. He spoke the part. The crowd loved him.... He had almost zero in-ring ability with the exception of his Spear. Which he'd botch far too often and concuss himself. Oh, and all those years he was on the scene, he learned almost nothing. Plus, clearly had zero desire to learn and improve his in-ring ability. That match with the Undertaker was going to be a disaster before it even began.
Goldberg needs to have very short matches, and needs to be in the ring with wrestlers who ARE in their prime. That way, they can hold his hand during the match and make him look good. At that point, Undertaker was incapable of doing that. Want to see what happens when a veteran wrestler has no desire to make Goldberg look good? Take a look at his match against Regal during his WCW days. Goldberg looked like a stumbling fool in that match. That's the real Goldberg.
Should've stopped the match when the undertaker killed the Hulksta. Thankfully the Hulksta is super human brotha and he revived himself right there. What kinda mad man holds their opponent tight and safely? Its a miracle the Hulksta managed to recover and come back from that. But he did brother
You wrote The undertaker vs shane mcmohan instead undertaker vs Goldberg
Rock Vs. Mankind at (forgot the PPV name...) -- brutal chair shots to the head that should have been stopped.
Undertaker vs Mankind (Mick Foley) is funny now that I've watched their reunion video that they did recently in which Undertaker went over to the ref after dropping Foley into the tacks a second time and saying "Make sure he stays down!" 😆
The Jericho/Bubba Ray story never fails to kill me🤣🤣
