Joey Mercury and Johnny Nitro were part of a promising tag team in WWE with MNM but Mercury suffered one of the worst injuries in wrestling history back in 2006 when a spot in a ladder match went very wrong.

MNM were facing Paul London, Brian Kendrick, William Regal, Dave Taylor, and The Hardy Boyz in a fatal four-way ladder match for the WWE Tag Team Championships at Armageddon in December 2006.

The spot saw Matt Hardy hold both Nitro and Mercury's faces down in the corner whilst his brother Jeff jumped from the top rope onto a ladder and the top then ricocheted. Whilst Nitro didn't feel any effects, his partner rolled straight out of the ring covered in blood as the true extent of the damage was about to be revealed.

Mercury later revealed the injuries he had suffered in an interview with WWE's official website.

"I’ve shattered my nose around the bridge area. I have four fractures on the inside of my nose; I have 5 stitches on the inside of my nose and my cheek and 15 stitches on the outside of my nose and cheek. My left eye is swollen shut and I have continual internal bleeding from my nose and my eye."

Nitro finished the match alone but Mercury only took a few weeks out of action before returning and reigniting his feud with The Hardyz.
