Top 5 WWE wrestlers who suffered severe neck injuries

#4 Chris Benoit

This is the part of the list where all the superstars suffered severe neck injuries. Chris Benoit was known as one of the greatest technical wrestlers in the history of professional wrestling. He was also known for wrestling stiff, and taking a lot of risks with his style of wrestling. Benoit got the nickname of Crippler while he was in ECW, and ironically, he was involved in an incident with Sabu which saw Sabu breaking his neck, after falling on the back of his head and neck when he was supposed to do a flip and take the bump on his back.

When Benoit came to the WWE, he immediately impressed the management and was thrown in the main event scene against the likes of Rock and Jericho. He then faced Steve Austin for the World title, as Jericho won the WWF championship and the duo was on top in the WWE, but unfortunately, Benoit suffered a neck injury during a fatal 4 way TLC match, and was out of action for a year. This effectively ended Benoits hot run in the WWE, and he did not play any part in the Invasion storyline which happened during his absence.
