10 Wrestling moments that freaked fans out

#1 Sid's big break

Sid suffered a horrific injury

Sometimes things go horrifically wrong in a pro wrestling match. One of the most horrific, and shocking, moments of all occurred during WCW's last, fading days.

Sid Vicious was taking on Scott Steiner in the main event for the title. Hoping to scale up his usual performances with something special, Sid decided to do his Big Boot move from the middle rope.

Was this ill-advised? Let's do the math. At over three hundred pounds, Sid was probably not the most agile or dexterous of pro wrestlers of his era. While he wasn't precisely clumsy, he certainly didn't have the grace of big men such as Keith Lee or Mike Awesome, who regularly fly/flew off the top rope as part of their performances.

Not only was Sid a bit on the big side to pull off aerial moves, but he also had little experience in doing so. Finally, the last nail in the coffin, Sid ill-advisedly tried to land on just one leg during his aerial assault.

Unfortunately, Sid came down at an angle and severely broke his leg. Wrestling fans were utterly shocked by the moment, as well as the sight of Sid clutching at his flopping, sundered limb.

Many wrestling fans still grow squeamish at just the memory of the incident.
