 What's good Josh Boy Ross back again with another video. So we're gonna check out the Undertaker on his worst WWE injury now apparently This is a Part of I'm guessing Tony Hawk's podcast Didn't know he had a podcast situation. So Definitely interested in checking checking it out just on its own or whatnot because Tony Hawk is he's to go I grew up, you know, I'm saying watching Tony Hawk in the X games and It definitely may be interested in just X games in general skating and BMX and stuff like that Granted, I wasn't trying to do none of that stuff because I wasn't that talented and wasn't trying to break anything But nevertheless, I definitely want to check this out them having the Undertaker on there is pretty crazy And them talking about some of the worst injuries the Undertaker has faced considering Tony Hawk is damn They're broken everybody every bone in his body should be a very interesting Conversation to have appreciate all the love and support you guys have shown on the channel You guys are truly amazing and let's see what the Undertaker has to say I think it's amazing the punishment you guys go through but then to be Because you know, I we skate we go through punishment But I also know from being a little bit heavy for a pro skateboarder that it's it's a harder hit and you're way bigger than I Like you're way bigger than anybody that has ever been a pro skateboarder. Yeah, well those slams. Yeah I mean that's all but I guess it all kind of weighs out like we were hitting usually on a mat You guys are hitting concrete and rails. Yeah, we had that conversation with Darby, but so I'm guessing maybe Darby Allen was on the show at some point. I may have to check that one out if you guys know about it I know he's in the skateboarding as well So it would make sense if he was on on Tony Hawk's podcast or whatnot. So I'm at the check that went out as well But the consistent abuse and the consistent night after night after night I mean you were and you were doing it at a time when no one was really getting much break, right? No, no, no. I had early on in my career with WWE. I had an eight-year stretch where I averaged 250 dates a year. Geez. I would go out If some of those are like cage matches and I want you to understand this is why we you know I stay showing respect to the wrestlers that do this man He is gone on the road in different cities almost every night majority of the year He's missing birthdays. He's missing family functions. He's missing sometimes holidays He's risking his body almost every day of the year Just to entertain us, bro You got to love wrestling to want to be in it. I will say that But they all kind of run to run together because you know there was a time I did 35 nights in a row That's unreal and and that's a different city, too So no so time to heal and rest you're just straight on the and that's not it does those are taught He's in he's probably accounting for the live tapings and then the house show events that back then there was a lot more House show events. So he's accounting for the live tapings the house show events I'm gonna be in one city by the morning to do it all over again like that's Insanity while staying in character, bro. It's crazy. No, you're straight on the plane or you're straight in the car and We didn't have It's really cool now to see how our industry has evolved in the sense that now we have We have doctors that travel with us. We have trainers, you know, we have a medical team that you know anytime that something happens now There's somebody on it immediately You know early on, you know You guys weren't you guys weren't icing and stuff. Oh, no, I mean you weren't I shout out to the homie with the kicks man Those kicks look pretty fucking tough. I'm not gonna lie to you those kicks look tough as hell, man, but him even saying that like Just going around you got to be in the next town. There's no medical Individual there on this at the show. So you kind of just gotta suck it up take some pain meds and Hopefully it's not been too serious like that's it. That's wild. Listen. We weren't doing anything but just Trying to strap it down and do it all over again the next night. I had an injury. I was in I was in Springfield, Massachusetts. I was wrestling a guy by the name of Mabel he was my height which is about six eight six nine But he was like 500 pounds. Yeah, and he was just grossly out of shape. His cardio was horrible And so, you know And that's usually a lot of the time That's how injuries occur when somebody's doesn't have the their cardio and can't keep up within in a match And this is exactly what happened, you know, we're in the match and I'm flying around and and he was supposed to be some place He wasn't so he tried to compensate and instead of hitting me You know with with this part of his arm He lunged and I run I'm coming off of the ropes full steam it and Basically run right straight into a big punch Hand hits me in in my eye socket and then I have a orbital. I have a orbital blowout Right We get back. So I think I've just caught one right. I've got I'm gonna have a shinier. It is what it is Not with that. We're driving back. We were we were kind of staying in Boston and making all these little towns around Boston on this particular loop and My manager Paul bearer was driving. I'm sitting in the car and it wouldn't even really blow my nose I just kind of went That's how you do it and and my face just It blew up it and so I did have a bag of ice. So I put the bag of ice back on it it goes back down and Like any like if I sneezed anything like my whole face just puffed out. Yeah, I Still I'm not smart enough at that Maybe something wrong with my Wow, bro, didn't even Put some ice on it. Oh My nose is you want to take is a tough SOB man, you know with my my face But I didn't it didn't affect your eyesight that one didn't that would that that one didn't I end up I've broken both of them. Oh my god So I wrestled two more nights And how doesn't it blow up just yeah? Yeah. Yeah, it would but you know, it was You know back then our mentality was if you walk you go to the ring Yeah, you know because it's when you don't show up to events and you know, we're struggling it too We know our business isn't like it is now So any time that you you miss a show or something like that It adversely affects the next time we run that city because people will think about like well I bought tickets to see such and such and he'd show Bro, it was different back then you got to kind of get it how you live There was situations is like people didn't want to get injured or they would keep fighting through the pain Even though they were probably seriously injured because one they didn't want to miss out on the money to Potentially they didn't want to lose a spot, you know saying you're not trying to lose your spot in the card And in three like he just said back then is like oh I paid this money to expect to see this wrestler He ain't show up. I mean I want to come next time. He may not show up So it's it was just a lot of different things how things played out back then People were wrestling injured because so many different factors. Oh, so am I gonna do it again? So there's that mentality you got to go to the ring. You got to work. It's the best what's best for business and But anyway, so I've worked two more nights and I mean what town it was somewhere up there around Boston and I was going to have I was gonna meet one of the other guys at a bar after the show and We were staying in different hotels. So I stopped. Yeah. Yeah, we were yeah, replenish replenish Fluids And I couldn't find the bar and so I'm driving back to my hotel. It's about 12 30 one in the morning And I see this like it's a kind of a rural area and I drive by and I see a sign that right Sticking out says hospital. I said, you know what? I'm gonna drive through there And if there's nobody in the emergency room, yeah, I'm gonna go get this thing checked out Yeah, I know something's not right. I don't know what it is Does give hints so I drive in there There's nobody I mean nobody in the emergency room park I get in I go they give me a CAT scan the doctor comes out and he goes Well, you've lost about 50% of your orbital floor. Oh, excuse me. What he goes Yeah, you need to go home and find you an ophthalmologist and a surgeon and you know Comes out comes to find out. I had to end up losing 90% of my orbital floor so what are they my My my optic nerve is setting right on top of a jagged piece of bone Oh, my if I'd have got hit in the right side of my head again, there's a good chance. I'd lost my who what and So anyway, yeah took two surgeons. They go in they pick out all the All the bone fragments and then they put in a fake one. Yeah fake one This is why he's the goat He could have lost his eye with one more hit to the side of the head, bro This is why he's the goat He's one of the greatest to ever do it If the undertaker is not in your top 10, I don't I don't know I don't know what you're doing Just this alone all to to keep the business going The goat and then years down the line So he was one of the bigger guys and then one of our littler's guys like Ray Mysterio Yeah, he's a tiny guy sweet heart of a guy He ended up jumping off of a top rope and his ass is supposed to hit me in the chest But it hit me right in the face. Oh, wait wait. You got your own little broke by an anus. Yeah It's a very specific area It was a bony So he lands and then he drives me, you know, I got all of his weight on my head and I hit the mat and blew out my other one Did you know it at that time since you've had everybody I didn't know I knew it was like possible But I'd also it broke my broke my nose And I got concussed I did you could tell We talked about a lot of injuries on the show and I don't think we've gone into this territory Yeah, it's hard being injured by an anus But yeah, my nose is broke I fixed my nose right there, I just squeezed my nose back and He's a fucking Savage the dude is concussed has another orbital fracture Because Ray I know it wasn't intentional and then he proceeds to just And get back into it like just what? Was there was there a risk that your face would be lopsided from either of the fractures So this one that so the the second one and to this day and this has been year I mean, this is probably 15 years ago that that happened. I still have double vision Really? Yeah, so I can look straight and I'm fine But to look kind of like my peripheral vision everything becomes opaque Yeah, so it's so like that if I look up it's opaque Anything to my side so I Continue to wrestle so then you know from that point forward I had to make sure that you know, I couldn't just rely on my eyes I had to turn yeah, so that I could always make sure that everybody was clear and I knew exactly where everybody was at That's why I'm not wrestling because I can't turn my neck that far to look at people straight on How's your neck cuz you guys know your neck? Yeah, my neck's jammed up. I need new knees You haven't had new knees yet. No, not yet. I put it off. I put it off. That's cool, but Now I need to Quality of life, right? And they're getting better man every year I keep seeing people they get knee replacements and hip replacements where they're back and like better than ever Yeah, my hips. I've already redone my hips Yeah That was on the Undertaker documentary talk about getting hip surgery and stuff replacements I have what they call the Birmingham hip resurface Huh, and that's where they they take the they go in I got a zipper like that on my on my hip where they go in They take the head of the femur They take all the arthritis and the scar tissue off of it They drill a hole in it and they put a titanium cap Right over the head of the femur and then they go in the acetabulum They do the same thing they clean out the socket part and there's a titanium cup that they hammer in there cool It's awesome. Yeah, you get on both. I got them on both sides That's why that's the only way I was able to keep wrestling if I'd had total hips done I've been able to wrestle but she This is why we appreciate what the Undertaker's done for us man for us fans He's still Hopefully was able to get the knee replacement surgery done dude. It's just he's just on another level You have to have heart To be a wrestler, bro You got to have grit to be a wrestler and the fact that he was doing this For so many years, bro With all types of pain all types of injuries just to entertain us to let you know How much he cared about the business and that was amazing I definitely want to check out some more of this.
