10 Wrestlers Who Returned From Injury And Then Got Injured

6. Kevin Nash

Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Goldberg. 

Kevin Nash has had intense feuds with some of sports entertainment’s biggest stars, but his greatest enemy of all was actually his own legs. One of the longest-running jokes in wrestling is that Nash can’t do anything without tearing a quad. 

This stems from a multi-man tag team match on Raw in 2002 where, after hitting Booker T with a Big Boot, Big Daddy Cool tried to attack the other team standing on the apron, but buckled to the mat instead. 

This injury kept Nash away for nine months, but this wasn’t the only injury Nash had sustained in ‘02. 

Prior to his legs exploding, he’d torn his biceps earlier in the year. In fact, this tag match was his in-ring return, meaning that Nash had only lasted about 10 minutes before hurting himself again. 

At least there was something nice waiting for Big Sexy upon his return, as he was almost immediately slotted into a World Heavyweight Championship programme with Triple H.

However, his frequent spells on the sidelines were a major contributing factor to WWE’s decision to cut bait once his series with The Game had run its course.
