10 Wrestlers Who Were Never The Same After Injuries and Health Issues

10 Wrestlers Who Were Never The Same After Injuries and Health Issues

Professional wrestling may be scripted but that doesn't mean talent doesn't get hurt every now and then. Even outside of the ring, others can be victims of accidents or health issues or demons. Over the decades, we've seen certain wrestlers like Harley Race, Ric Flair, and Shawn Michaels suffer injuries in or out of the ring and despite their career being put in question, would go on to make miraculous returns and either have Hall of Fame careers or enhance their Hall of Fame careers. Unfortunately, not everyone can make a great comeback. Just as we've seen miraculous comebacks, we've also seen certain wrestlers suffer in or out of the ring to the point where their careers never recovered and we're a shell of their former selves. Here now is a list of ten wrestlers who were either at the top of their game or on the cusp of it only for an injury or health issue to permanently derail them and they never were able to fully comeback to their past selves.

Note: I don't own the pictures as I got them off google.

It would be his sixth outing and his final "official" James Bond film with the 1983 Thunderball remake Never Say Never Again being "unofficial" (long story). Singer Shirley Bassey also returned to sing the theme becoming the first and to date only singer to perform more than one Bond song having previously done Goldfinger and later returned for Moonraker.
