Benny Cumberbatch seriously injured (update)

[Johnny Flamingo]

Update below.

Wrestler Benny Cumberbatch was in the Slave to the Deathmatch Tournament finals. Had a spot set up that went wrong.

Basically it was a Canadian destroyer off a balcony through some trash (wood, tables) . Spot went wrong and he landed face first on an exposed ring (no mat).

Just wanted to keep him in thoughts. Dude is talented.

There is a gofundme set up but not sure if I’m allowed to post the link.

I hope for a speedy recovery, but man that spot just sounds like something that shouldn’t have been attempted.

Yea I saw the video of this and it is amongst the absoloute stupidest f***ing spots I have ever seen in wrestling.

There was literally nothing else that could have happened other than serious career ending injury or death.

Everyone was a moron from letting it happen to doing it but really hope he recovers.

My issue with the spot is the margin of error was too thin. It was a spot that unless it went perfectly someone would likely get hurt. Sadly this went quite badly.

I’m a big Deathmatch fan. I love big spots but you can do dangerous looking spots that are still safe.

Hoping maybe this will cause workers to take caution in the future and not try and push the limit too far.

Same spot could have been performed without a Canadian destroyer and would have still looked insane and even With a mistake could have prevented serious injury.

Hoping Cumberbatch makes a good recovery. Was a potential breakout star. Hate this happened to him.

well, there's where the issue started.

Hope the guy is okay, but goddamn does that sound like an awful idea for a spot. And for what a couple of hundred dollars and internet clout?

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

That balcony was absurdly high for any spot, much less a Destroyer.

Like I've seen John Wayne Murdoch do the Destroyer from the Bloodshed's balcony last year, but that seemed like it was half the height of this spot.

I seriously hope he's ok... but I have to echo the sentiment that even trying that f***ing spot at all was really stupid on everyone's part.

Sometimes you really have to consider your career before possibly going viral with a spot online.

Best wishes to him in his recovery.

As many of you know, I was in a serious wrestling accident in September that changed my life forever. I have a C4 spinal cord injury. I spent a few weeks in the ICU at Denver health and made it to Craig rehab hospital last Wednesday! Please join Moriah and I on the journey to recovery and taking my life back.
