5 greatest comebacks from injuries in WWE history

Ric Flair

In this feature, we have looked at neck injuries, quad tears and back surgery, but none of that compares to surviving a horrific plane crash.

On October 4, 1975, that crash nearly ended the career of a young Ric Flair, injuring Flair severely, whilst taking the life of the pilot.

Despite orders that he would never wrestle again, Flair persevered and returned to the ring 8 months later.

From there, Flair, realizing how delicate life could be, decided to change himself, creating the Nature Boy, and has since become an icon of the industry.
