7 professional wrestlers that suffered paralysis

3: Lex Luger

Luger had a freak accident in plane

Lex Luger was someone that had all the ammunition he needed to make it big in the business. He did flirt with the main event scene for a long time, but Luger’s career never reached the true potential that it could’ve reached. His wrestling career ended back in 2005, and after injuring his neck in a plane, Luger suffered paralysis from neck down.

He was simply turning his neck while sitting on the plane and this apparently stopped the blood flow resulting in swelling in his vertebra. Luger had to spend a long time on a wheelchair due to the same, but he showed great strides of recovery and was able to walk and drive.
