Oh my God I thought Mick Foley and Vader wre tough for continuing and ending their matches with respectively a torn ear and an eye popped out of its socket, but I think I found tougher than them. And it' s a woman. Hisako Uno Sasaki. Seriously, she was in a best 2 out of 3 match and from the second fall, she continued the match... with a broken freakin' neck ?? Yep, she continued and ended the match... by holding her head between her hands. wrestlinggonewrong.com/video/hisako_breaks_neck.htmlSeriously, this woman is way tougher than most of the men. So, what are some incredible displays of toughness by wrestlers you can think of ?

That beats all!
I know that Taz dug a piece of glass out of his eye in the WrestleMania 2000 Hardcore Battle Royal but... Sasaki still wins!

At this years Bound For Glory Sting took a ball bat to the face, and without pausing at all, finished the match, and even celebrated in the ring post match.
He really didn't look 48 in the that match.

I don't think anything could ever possibly top Sasaki.

Jim Ross has told a story about Danny Hodge a couple times on the Legends Roundtable show.
Apparently Hodge was driving, and the car ended up going over the side of the bridge he was driving on, and landed in the water. The impact of the fall broke Hodges' neck. So, while the car is fully submerged, Hodge punched out the window and swam to shore using one hand, while using the other hand to hold his neck in place.

While continuing the match like that's incredibly tough, I think at a certain point there's a limit to where toughness begins to segue into stupid. That may be the entry zone right there.

Didn't Sid end up being pinned after his leg snapped? The fact that they didn't call that match right there is pretty odd.

i'll tell you whats tough: Mick Foley injuring himself at Wrestlemania 2000, and then summoning the testicular fortitude to go it to Disneyland the next day

"Sick" Nick Mondo went on to compete in - and win - the Tournament of Death 2 finals after taking a horrific bump in the second round.
Mondo was smart enough to make the decision to retire after winning the tournament, as there was nothing that he could do to top that moment in his career.

At IWA-MS' No Blood, No Guts, No Glory '02, Mad Man Pondo put the Necro Butcher through a light tube log cabin which almost sliced Necro's arm off. I don't remember who won, but Necro finished the match and the footage SMV got of his arm is just sick (like so gross you want to throw up sick). I think this is floating around youtube somewhere, definately not for the faint of heart and nsfw.

I think this is floating around youtube somewhere, definately not for the faint of heart and nsfw. Yes, but the bump that caused that gash literally occurred at the end of the match. In other words, Pondo nailed Necro in a stupidly dangerous spot, Necro sustained the wound, and Pondo pinned him immediately thereafter. I'm not denying that the damage was severe, or that Necro isn't tough. All's I'm saying is that the outcome of that match wouldn't have changed much if anyone else had been in Necro's position, because the match wasn't supposed to go any further than that stupidly dangerous spot. As I've said before, look up the bump that "Sick" Nick Mondo took at Tournament of Death 2. He completely missed the tables that were supposed to break his fall, and landed flat on concrete. How he survived that, let alone went on to compete in - and win - that night's final round is a textbook definition of a miracle.

Ya she is definitely tougher than me. But that does cross the line into stupidity. This is entertainment not not life-and-death, wrestling the third-fall with a broken neck was a stupid move that the douches in-charge shouldn't have let her do. They may not have known the neck they knew there was a significant possibility. Pushing her back out there was was ridiculous. Watch a football game when a neck-injury happens. Your ass is immediately immobilized for your own safety and you are carted to the hospital. Wrestling should be the same way.

It doesn't quite top all of the other stuff mentioned, but Quack completely demolishing his head on concrete and then winning TPI was pretty damn good.

One that no one else will ever think of(or probably agree with).
ROH: Supercard of Honor II- BJ Whitmer vs. Jimmy Jacobs in a Steel Cage Showdown.
Jacobs does his senton splash from the top of the cage to BJ Whitmer through a table, tearing his knee in the process. But he stayed in character for the 5 or so minutes it took to get him backstage, even telling the guys to take Lacey(who was only kayfabe injured) to the back first(as far as I know). That takes a lot of mental toughness in my opinion..

CM Punk, back in about 2002, fractured his skull and was told to stop wrestling for about a year...I don't think he was out of the ring for longer than a month.

Again, there's tough, and then there's stupid.

I think Perry Saturn is the one for me because it was a selfless act that in no way did anything for himself. He stopped a woman from being raped, and somehow, didn't feel two or three bullets in the neck because he was more concerned about this woman's well being.
I can't believe TNA didn't hire him back after this, and played him up as the man that even a bullet couldn't take down.
