- I read all your comments,
and I've recently received a ton of requests
to check out some injuries from the WWE,
or World Wrestling Entertainment.
So per your request,
we're going to be breaking down and reacting
to some of the most insane injuries
from the WWE's wrestling matches.
Fair warning, this could get crazy.
Before we get into it,
if you're new to my channel, welcome.
My name is Dr. Jordan Wagner.
If you enjoy the educational reaction videos and other stuff
that you see here on this channel,

and turn your bell notifications on.
That way you learn when I post a new video.
All right, let's dive right in.
Oh.
That's not good.
- [Commentator] Gonna snap his arm.
(Batista screams loudly)
- What?
The way the arm is wedged in there, the forearm,
you can definitely snap the radius and the ulna.
If you catch it in a weird position, it could break.
You know, it doesn't look like
he's actually snapping at the elbow.
Elbows are hard to dislocate,
typically, when you dislocate an elbow,
it's a direct posterior force
so your hand actually gets hit here,
the elbow goes backwards
so the olecranon is sticking out further.
You know, it's pretty easy actually to put back in,
you actually can just have somebody lay over a table
or a bed, and you actually just push
the olecranon back over.
- [Commentator] His favorite sledgehammer.
Look out, look out!
Oh my god!
- When did I miss these episodes?
- [Commentator] Triple H just crushed.
- Are you kidding me?
- [Commentator] The hand of the Big Show.
- Then you could have crush injury to the fingers.
And then you're actually gonna have explosion of the tissue.
What do I mean by that?
When you actually have compressive force so hard,
the tissue lacerates itself by ripping open.
Now you have an open fracture.
Should be evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon.
Question if the patient needs to be taken
to the operating room to have it washed out
and so it doesn't get infected
because you have a high chance of getting osteomyelitis,
which is a bone infection related to an open fracture
so you need to be placed on an antibiotic.
- [Commentator] Into the lock again.
He's gonna try to break that ankle.
He's trying to incapacitate him.
Oh my God.
Hurt ankle.
- (chuckling softly) I love the commentator,
"They're trying to break his ankle.
"He's trying to incapacitate him."
Could you dislocate, fracture the ankle?
Yes, you potentially could,
especially using the different vectors of force.
Did he actually snap it in this scene? Probably not.
If you do, you basically snap the ankle,
there's different types of ankle fractures.
You can just have a medial malleolus fracture,
or typically something that we call a trimalleolar fracture.
But trimalleolar fracture is an unstable joint
where the mortis of the joint,
where the tibia sits on top of the tail,
the integrity is now gone, and you actually need surgery.
Oh, what a cool move, nice.
- [Commentator] I'm not so sure that Rey Mysterio.
- Knee right into the nose.
Taking a knee to the face,
it's actually gonna hurt the person
who was actually kneeing him,
but it depends on where on the tissue that's hitting.
And then, a broken nose, okay.
So people come to the emergency apartment all the time
with a broken nose.
It could bleed, it may not bleed.
Most of the time, if you have a broken nose,
it's not set in the immediate setting
because you don't know how crooked it is
because of all the swelling.
So typically what ends up happening is
you allow the swelling to go down.
Then you go see an ear, nose and throat doctor,
and then, it's reset thereafter.
Oh, it's a big boy, ooh.
Oh!
Man, how do these not cause massive injuries?
(Kane screaming loudly)
The chair is kind of bent over the knee, hitting the femur.
So, you know, you're not gonna have a patellar fracture
from this, but the question ends up being,
where does it pivot from?
You're at risk for a distal femur fracture
or a tibial plateau fracture on the other end.
But if you get distal femur fracture,
man, those hurt like hell, you need to have surgery,
you'll not be able to walk again without having a rod.
Same thing with the tibial plateau fracture again,
the tibia comes up and it kind of plateaus
where it articulates with the femur.
All that force on top of that plateau,
it needs to be reinforced with plates and metal as well.
Oh, a crowbar to the leg.
- [Commentator] Oh, Austin just broke that cane.
- Oh and now he's just...
If your tibia is not conditioned, like mixed martial artists
their tibias are well conditioned
because of all the kicking that they do.
Your tibia probably is always gonna get pretty injured
from a crowbar getting smacked to it.
And then, somebody stepping in and kicking on it.
If it's hit in the right place
and more on the thick part of the bone
and the integrity of the tibia is still really intact,
then it may not break.
It doesn't look broken.
For you to snap the tibia, it should kind of flop.
Now you have the fibula that rides alongside of it,
it's a non-weight bearing bone,
but it still keeps the structure of that lower extremity.
It still might not just flat out there.
Oh.
- [Commentator] They're holding my ankle
and the knee across the steps.
And they're taking, oh no!
- Oh, I mean, that was fake.
So the knee is being stressed out,
the medial collateral ligament,
as well as the ACL
and the PCL are getting a little bit strained in that area.
But the idea here is they're trying to take the stairs
to snap the ankle or hurt the tibia.
So on this injury, if they hit the leg, most likely
they're probably gonna potentially fracture the fibula.
So the fibula is riding on the outside of the area
between your knee and your ankle.
It's a non-weightbearing bone.
If it's fractured, it hurts like hell,
but you can actually still walk on it.
Shawn Michaels, yes.
Oh man.
Oh.
- [Commentator] Brett did four on Shawn Michaels.
Michaels is screaming for his life.
- Ow. - He's gonna break his leg.
- Do we need to get the pole?
First off, he's getting balls just hit right into a rail.
You're gonna have trauma down there.
Most likely gonna hurt more than anything.
Could you cause a hematoma to the testicle?
Could you cause like a rupture to the testicle?
I've never seen one, I've seen testicle shot,
I've seen scrotums rip open,
haven't seen testicular damage from blunt trauma
other than bad bruising.
That is high.
Oh.
Oh yeah, definitely gonna hurt yourself at the same time.
Rule of thumb when it comes to like height injuries,
typically if it's three times your height
or greater than 15 feet, that's severe trauma,
really intense and you need to get checked out,
like your full body go to a trauma center.
So this is pretty darn high.
If you see him land, he has crazy whiplash
could cause cervical fracture,
one you're also gonna worry about paraspinal muscle spasms,
now he's gonna have headaches, needs a C collar,
and a CT scan of the neck and possibly the head.
Yes, Hulk Hogan.
And the Undertaker?
Is that the Undertaker with short hair?
I think so.
- [Commentator] Clothesline, on the Undertaker.
- Nice, give me some good handlebars.
- [Commentator] The leg drop.
Hogan got the leg drop.
The referee's there.
(bell dinging)
(crowd cheering)
- Yes.
Over the top rope could cause some trauma,
depending on how you land.
You gotta really be careful landing it with your arms out.
Lot of times you fracture wrists with that.
Then he uses his classic move of using his leg
to hit him in the neck.
Could that cause some discomfort?
Most likely, yes,
especially if you're hitting right on to the trachea,
you're gonna cause, one,
potentially injury to the vocal cords,
you're gonna cause pain to the neck.
But how much does the leg
where the calf is actually hitting onto the neck
causing that much issue?
Because it's not like it's a hard, solid board,
it kind of gives, right?
As it hits.
Does it knock them out? Probably not.
Does it cause discomfort and maybe feeling like
you might be suffocating a little bit?
Yeah, for a short period of time.
That is John Cena and The Rock.
Nice, Rock's lost all his hair.
- [Commentator] Rock, fight it out.
- Oh, nice!
These guys have to be so fit,
to get up, get down, picking up somebody 250, 300 pounds
that it looks like nothing.
Obviously, they're working together
to get the moves right and not hurt each other.
They actually have to work together
to make sure that they don't cause serious injury
'cause where your flipping, spinning,
if you grab the wrong way,
you actually can work and rotate
and cause a lot of ligamentous and tendinopathy,
tendon injuries, tear muscle.
Wrestling moves are no joke.
Yes it's for entertainment.
They are legitimately causing injuries to each other.
The idea is to maybe cause a little bit of injury,
but nothing permanent, make it look real
'cause you can't really fake everything.
But there are instances
where it goes a little bit in the wrong direction
and actually can cause major injuries.
Super dangerous.
So these guys are professional at what they do,
I love it, fantastic.
