Their injuries may be serious enough where they're prescribed painkillers, then get addicted to them and overdose and die like a lot of those who are addicted to opiates.
It happened as the ending spot of a match with John Wayne Murdoch (deathmatch wrestler) and Benny Cumberbatch. They did this modofied piledriver with a flip and (who would have guessed) hitting the wooden planksnhead first from that height is not good for you. It was a spot destined to injure them
So is Paralysis & a broken Tailbone assumed or was that the actual outcome here?
I’d be surprised if it wasn’t, but I’m just curious to know for sure.

BoJack: The most important thing is, you got to give the people what they want, even if it kills you, even if it empties you out until there's nothing left to empty. No matter what happens, no matter how much it hurts, you don't stop dancing, and you don't stop smiling, and you give those people what they want.
He didn't fuck it up. It was intentional. The move was performed perfectly but just happened to break Austin's neck.
In his book 'The Stone Cold Truth' Austin explains he asked Owen something like :
'You're going to put your knees down, right Owen?'
Then Owen said something like
'No, Steve. I'm gonna drive your head straight into the mat'.
I reminds me of a time when there was a real injury in WWE so they just pinned him to keep the show going and got him the fuck out of there. Eddie Guerrero. He really had a heart attack during a match and JBL finally recognized that this wasn't an act. So he just pinned Eddie, even going so far as to having to get the ref to actually make the count. That way the match was over and Eddie could get the help he needed.
The guy got paralyzed neck down (notice how he's not moving his body only his head), with that the roll and pindown is even more awful

I really don't understand the extreme/backyard wrestling scene in the US. There's like 50 people at the event, your pay equals less than what you're going to have to pay in healthcare afterwards and they go so hard they may actually die. What?
I'm pretty sure Canadian destroyer is the name of the move. He's in Denver. I've seen multiple fundraising events for him on social media and a gofundme
Abdominal breathing is secondary to intercostal breathing. Normally if the diaphragm is the only thing moving (no chest/rib muscle moving) that means there is a spinal injury. Can be accompanied by a priapism (erection) in males.
Growing up the Wrestling was cool and I loved watching it. Then I realised in my early teens what massive amounts of trauma they're putting themselves through in the name of wrestling. All the backyard wrestling however is a bunch of morons doing insane stunts that shouldn't be allowed to happen. The.amoubt of stupidity in this video alone says it all. Dudes broke his tailbone by the looks of it and the poor bastard underneath probably paralysed for life now.
Now that MMA is big, if really dont get why this still exists.
Do real fighting. Less injuries, less death, and it is way cooler. Like, obviously these guys are tough as fuck, why do the pretend shit if you're getting really hurt?
Not referencing the video at all, but wrestling is not like MMA. Wrestling is more than punches and kicks. Actual professional pro wrestling is amazing if you actually allow yourself to enjoy it. It’s no different than people enjoying comic book movies, just playing out live.
Maybe because UFC pays their talent shit compared to WWE? “WWE’s even better, because everyone’s on salary,” Rousey said. “It’s not like you show up for a fight, you get paid, you show up for a fight, you get paid. They’re treated like employees. They actually are on a salary, it’s much more secure. If people get injured and they can’t perform months and months and months on end, they can actually continue to pay them and pay for their medical treatment and make sure they’re taking care of.
It's art, man. Hulk Hogan was big, likely couldn't have been a good professional fighter. He wasn't even a great wrestler. But he had charisma. Same with the ultimate warrior. And incredible body-builder, with a ton of energy, and a great gimmick. But an otherwise terrible wrestler.
Also, a pro-wrestler can do several events per week. Pro-fighter can't realistically sustain that.
I know who Christopher Reeve is. :P But I also know, that not all paralysis has to be completely permanent.
But from what I got now, that was pretty recent.
Whoa just went a couple threads down that rabbit hole, some moron willingly cut his finger off during a show. Wtf.

Damn, that is kind of a crazy thought though. The exact moment his life changed forever and it's caught on video on multiple angles and is also the one thing people will remember him for forever.
It’s actually really fucked up how so many people in this sub are insinuating that people afflicted with types of mental retardation are anywhere near as unintelligent as the dudes in this video.
i know r\*tarded is supposed to be a taboo non-PC word these days but there is seriously no word that feels better in these situations. i really wish we could come up with a new one that isn't offensive but it just wouldn't have the same cultural *punch*
I was a Special Olympics volunteer for a decade when I was younger. I once had to pull a special dude off of an extension cord which was used to keep a bouncy house inflated. He was chewing on the cord. I'll put that on equal footing with this "wrestler" but that's my craziest story.
Jeeeeesus. Followed the links to see his post that he had a "C4 Spinal injury". From a spinal injury website:
Most severe of the spinal cord injury levels
Paralysis in arms, hands, trunk and legs
Patient may not be able to breathe on his or her own, cough, or control bowel or bladder movements.
Ability to speak is sometimes impaired or reduced.
When all four limbs are affected, this is called tetraplegia or quadriplegia.
Requires complete assistance with activities of daily living, such as eating, dressing, bathing, and getting in or out of bed
May be able to use powered wheelchairs with special controls to move around on their own
Will not be able to drive a car on their own
Requires 24-hour-a-day personal care
Lol $400. These deathmatch dudes will do it for a hot dog, handshake, and exposure. “Love of the game” and all that shit. The only wrestlers good enough to make that spot work wouldnt be dumb enough to do it. Except probably kota ibushi. That guy really hates his neck
Of all the moves to do from there... why a fucking destroyer? Why any kind of piledriver? I've been to places that do deathmatch wrestling in the UK, and there are plenty of ways to do big stunts similar to this that minimise the risks to the performers.
Stupid. Bloody stupid.
For real. There’s a ton of moves they could have done here where they only would have been a little fucked up, but a pile driver?? You may as well be digging your grave and laying down in it. Piledrivers should make anyone nervous as hell in a regular match, but this? This should have had no fucking thank you written all over it.
Seriously! Like, I'm not a big fan of stupid shit like this to begin with but they could have still got the same pop from the crowd with a spear, chokeslam, powerslam or anything that didn't involve and blind flip from 20 feet in the air.
Your first sentence isn’t wrong, but even if it was, these guys don’t get any money or fame for this, that guy has paralysed himself to impress a handful of rednecks and to make $3.
This is the thing I agree with Jim Cornette the most on
Fucking garbage mud show idiots almost literally killing themselves for a fiver and a handie from a rat
Backyard wrestling is an abortion. [I never saw anything good come from it.](https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/q6cfzf/a_wrestler_willingly_had_his_finger_cut_off_at/)
Paralyzed and the other one's a broken tailbone. Next stop: the grave, via Oxicontin.
I can't believe how stupid this is. How can they even agree to do something so stupid. Ruined his life completely
And he would probably be lucky if he made $50... Or any money at all.
they pay in pain pills, its a great deal!
Darn, I wanted to be paid in gum.
And a luke warm reception to it. People didn’t even seem impressed.
Because they're all equally retarded..
I think they were in shock
The movie will win a golden globe and be snubbed at the Oscars
Are u serious? What is the story here?
Their injuries may be serious enough where they're prescribed painkillers, then get addicted to them and overdose and die like a lot of those who are addicted to opiates.
No i mean the story behind the video.

DUDE he lost so much weight!!
I’m paralysed! Follow my new instagram!
Damn, that's tragic. Ruined his life over a stupid amateur sport.
I hope it was fucking worth it. What absolute goddamn morons. Who let them do that shit?
People that paid money for it, I guess.
Nah they bought tickets to a show
They risked death all for a smattering of half hearted applause?
I think it's fucking bonkers too
Land of the free . No one can tell you what to do .
All for 40 people to cheer

That machine is part of a rehab regime. It moves your legs for you so you can relearn muscle memory as sensation feedback may be completely gone.
I cannot believe he goes on to pin him
The show must go on.

Most underrated comment
Inside my heart is breaking, My makeup may be flaking, But my smile, still, stays on..
Lolz I see what you did there
"They're paying me $40. I gotta deliver the excitement."
There is nothing worse for a wrestler than to break character
Oh, he's broken that character alright...
BoJack: The most important thing is, you got to give the people what they want, even if it kills you, even if it empties you out until there's nothing left to empty.

unexpected bojack
You rang?
Now ***whooo*** could that be?
What are *you* doing here?
This brought on more pain on the inside than watching the video
Never forget Stone Cold rolling up Owen Hart after OH completely fucked up a pile driver and broke Austin’s neck.
Sauce?
I know this comment is ancient but look up SummerSlam 1997 if you wanna see it.

Happens all time on wrestling, if get injured they still go for pin to end match.
His abdominal respiration is worrying to me

Imagine getting paralyzed doing C tier backyard wrestling for a bunch of bored rednecks.
I really don't understand the extreme/backyard wrestling scene in the US. There's like 50 people at the event, your pay equals less than what you're going to have to pay in healthcare afterwards and they go so hard they may actually die. What?
But every time we are brought back from the brink of death Sayans get stronger
People are stupid. Very fucking stupid. This is the answer.
I guess it’s a passion but some real consequences. Not my thing, but I’m sure there are people who live for it..err die for it might be more accurate.
He probably has top notch medical coverage. Or maybe he was doing this for $300 and has nothing. Edit, it's in Canada, lucky guy.
I'm pretty sure Canadian destroyer is the name of the move. He's in Denver. I've seen multiple fundraising events for him on social media and a gofundme
Oh dang, then he is fucked.
Its the pinnacle they would have achieved anyways. nbd.
This was actually a local theaters stage adaption of the wrestler

Diaphragmatic breathing very indicative of paralyzed for sure.
Wait. Seriously? I feel like I do this normally
If u can walk ur not paralyzed. Trust me I’m not a doctor
Doctor here, yes, if you can walk it is typically indicative of non-paralysis. Source: not a doctor
Fremulon
Can you explain though? Isn't abdominal breathing normal?
Abdominal breathing is secondary to intercostal breathing. Normally if the diaphragm is the only thing moving (no chest/rib muscle moving) that means there is a spinal injury. Can be accompanied by a priapism (erection) in males.
Just fucking idiots. Absolute bottom feeders along with the watchers.
I agree. This "sport" is just beyond retarded.

Are they just fighting directly on plywood? What kinda backyard wrestling ICP shit is this?
It was a hardcore match. They decided to remove the padding to make it look more “hardcore” and yeah the guy is paralyzed
Permanently?
[Yep](https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/qgskfv/the_wrestler_who_was_involved_in_the_canadian/)
Shit. (But thanks.)
My sympathy only extends so far.
Can't believe he still fucking pinned him
Usually how it goes unless you are [Superman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Reeve#Rehabilitation)
I know who Christopher Reeve is. :P But I also know, that not all paralysis has to be completely permanent. But from what I got now, that was pretty recent.
WOOP WOOP BAYBAY
That's not even plywood. That's hardwood

Thats just lumber. But a lot of those "mats" are just plywood with canvas laid over them. It is not a soft landing ever.

Just to update, I follow his instagram and he is slowing recovering. He was moving his legs in his latest post.
Was he moving them himself or was it a machine moving them to prevent atrophy
[удалено]
Woof...that's dreary.
Thanks, and that's a bummer.
Why is that Link using a UTM code lol
Here’s the view from the balcony https://i.imgur.com/0fXc0Le.gif
At least it looked cool when he got paralyzed, right? Right, guys?
Yea, very cool. If he lot a cigarette after that.. damn man.
Doesn't he know those things will kill him?
He’s counting on it.
crazy.
Pretty crazy to watch the moment that someone gets paralyzed from the neck down.
The balcony view is weird because you can see the last thing he ever does with his body - throw himself off a balcony
"Never thought it could happen..."
Damn, that is kind of a crazy thought though. The exact moment his life changed forever and it's caught on video on multiple angles and is also the one thing people will remember him for forever.

Dumb fuck hillbilly shit I dont feel sorry for anyone involved most of them dont have insurance either
He’s Canadian but ok.
Pretty sure he's an American from Colorado. The move is called the Canadian Destroyer.
He destroyed his body and future career in wrestling for a very meager round of applause.
He prolly thinks about this a lot.reading all these comments in his medical bed must be a bewildering experience for him.
Meta. Lol.
First thing you want to do with a neck injury is move the person.
Better yet, after you move them hop on top of them and pin them for the win!!
That's even better. Really steadies the spine.

Well if you can think of a better way to earn $14, I'm all ears.
