John Cena’s smashed nose, Stone Cold Steve Austin’s broken neck and the worst injuries to happen live on WWE TV
Is WWE fake? Well, take a look at some of these war wounds and then let us know...
It's scripted, it's pre-determined - but it is not without danger and plenty of wrestlers have suffered nasty injuries in the course of entertaining the WWE universe.
Below, talkSPORT looks at five of the most memorable injuries to occur live on WWE TV.
Vince McMahon
The Chairman of WWE is a phenomenally put together man. He eats well and spends just as much time in the gym as anyone, but back at the 2005 Royal Rumble, he suffered a freak injury that would leave him motionless on the mat.
Well, motionless from the waist down. McMahon hit the ring in a rage and hit it so hard that he tore both of his quadricep tendons.
He later told the Wall Street Journal: “Seven weeks ago, I severed both of my quadriceps tendons doing a stunt in the ring.
"I wasn’t warmed up, I didn’t stretch and that, unfortunately, caused a major surgery.
"My character, his time has come and gone. I’ll be 60 in August. I’m better utilised from a resource standpoint not being a performer.”
McMahon was forced to sit there in the ring, much to everyone's bemusement, on one of WWE's major pay-per-views.
Stone Cold Steve Austin
This is another instance where you know something is wrong pretty quickly.
Back at SummerSlam 1997, Stone Cold Steve Austin was taking on Owen Hart with the Intercontinental title on the line.
They were having a great match and stealing the show, but then Hart went for a piledriver on Austin.
Now, fans of today won't have seen this move much because WWE outlawed it not too long after.
Austin's head was meant to be protected in Hart's mid-rift, but his head was hanging too low when Hart sat down on the move.
The result was a broken neck for the Texas Rattlesnake and it shaved years off his career, possibly a decade.
As you can see, Austin can't move and Hart has to stall for time with the fans while he gets feeling back in his hands. After a few moments, Austin manages the worst roll-up in the history of wrestling and the match is over. Once the referees help Austin up, you can tell the lights are on but no one is home.
Triple H
This was during one of, if not the great match in this history of Monday Night Raw.
Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho, the two Canadian heroes, were tagging against the current Tag Team champions and Two Man Power Trip, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H.
The fans were so ready to see the heels finally get what was coming to them and they were red-hot, but so was the action.
As the match descended into chaos, Triple H was on the outside dealing with Benoit, but he had to run-in and save Austin from the Walls of Jericho. As he lands the blow to the back of Jericho's head, you can see his leg give way.
Following that, he is almost immediately, incredibly, put in the Walls of Jericho himself. What a tough guy Triple H is.
He would spend seven months on the sideline after this match as he had to have the tendon reattached.
Joey Mercury
This is the most visibly gruesome of the lot. Joey Mercury was in a tag team with John Morrison called MNM - which also featured Melina as a manager - and they took part in a four team ladder match at Armageddon in 2006.
During that match, which featured the Hardy Boyz, Jeff Hardy jumped down and flipped a ladder up catching both members of MNM in the face.
While Morrison - then going by the name of Johhny Nitro - managed to block his and sell, Mercury wasn't so lucky.
Almost instantly, blood was pouring from Mercury's face at an alarming rate and once the camera panned around to him, the crowd in attendance gasped in horror.
His face was a mess straight away and many felt that injury would derail his entire career.
John Cena
The 16-time world champion has had a relatively injury-free career save for a few muscle tears here and there, but this was the first time on TV he was really opened up in the worst way.
Seth Rollins was on a real hot-streak in 2015 and was well on his way to becoming the main event talent we see today.
He was battling Cena for the world and United States titles at one point and during a match on RAW, Rollins did a knee strike to Cena's face.
Like Mercury, almost instantly there was a lot of blood and when the camera caught up with Cena, his nose was going in about three different directions. It was badly, badly broken.Luckily for Cena, some surgery and a week off would see him return to his good looks. Good job too with the Hollywood career he's got going.
