Sometimes getting hurt can actually be a good thing, as ridiculous as that sounds

#8 The Great Sasuke cracks his skull…and keeps wrestling

It's too bad there isn't a championship belt that distinguishes someone for being inhumanly tough

The Great Sasuke was one of the best cruiserweight wrestlers of the 1990s, working alongside a star-studded cast of equally-outstanding cruiserweights like Jushin Liger, Hayabusa, Ultimo Dragon, and Chris ‘Lionheart’ Jericho.

He was a legendary wrestler who performed dazzling aerial acrobatics on a nightly basis. However, arguably his biggest claim to fame was that he showed incredible tolerance for pain during his peak as a wrestler.

Specifically, he cracked his skull on at least two separate occasions while performing his aerial stunts, yet kept wrestling as if nothing had happened. Keep in mind that a cracked skull can have serious, life-altering (or life-ending) consequences, yet Sasuke kept wrestling all the same.

Clearly, he had an intense passion for wrestling if he was willing to risk severe, long-term harm by continuing to wrestle with such a devastating injury.
