10 extraordinary examples of wrestlers toughing it out

<p>
When the going gets tough, the tough get going!

#6 Triple H (twice)

Triple H
The Game's injuries did not stop him from finishing his matches

Fun fact: Triple H holds the distinction of being the only person on this list to appear for two separate injuries on the same part of his body.

On the May 21st, 2001 edition of Monday Night RAW, Triple H teamed up with Stone Cold Steve Austin to take on the team of Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho. When Jericho had Austin in Walls of Jericho, the "Hunter" came in to make the save. As he attempted the same, he tore his left quadriceps muscle completely off the bone.

Nevertheless, he continued to wrestle despite not being able to put any weight on his injured leg. He even let Chris Jericho put him in the Walls of Jericho, a move that puts a lot more pressure on the quadriceps muscles.

Five and a half years later, he sustained a similar injury.

At 2007's New Year's Revolution, he and his buddy Shawn Michaels were up against the team of Edge and Randy Orton. Near the end of the match, he came down awkwardly while delivering a Spinebuster to Orton. Once again, he had torn his quadriceps muscle, only this time it was on the right leg.

Not being someone to resist going over, he stood up and delivered a Spinebuster and a Pedigree to Edge (the latter was on the announce table), then wailed on his two opponents with steel chairs. Sure, the match ended in a No Contest, but not because of Triple H's injury. Instead, it happened because Shawn Michaels knocked out the referee.

Powering through a torn quad to finish a match is admirable... but Triple H did it twice, proving to everyone that he really was "that damn good".
