#1. WWE legend Mick Foley lost his ear while trying to break himself free from the ropes
Another WWE Hall of Famer who suffered a gruesome injury in the ring is none other than Mick Foley. It’s difficult to make a list of injuries without including the biggest daredevil WWE has ever seen.
In 1994, Foley had a match in Munich, Germany against Vader. During the contest, Foley’s head got tied up in the ropes at an awkward angle and Foley had to wedge his way out. However, he lost a piece of his ear while doing so.

The WWE legend spoke to TMZ Sports about the match and the injury in detail.
“This right ear has been freaking out fans since 1994. I was in a match with the great Leon White (Vader) in Munich, Germany. Things took a turn for the worst, I got my head caught up in the ropes. I wedged my way out, my ear did not make the journey with me and I wanted it stated for the record, we finished the match. It was a non-televised house show and we finished the match.” Foley said
According to Foley, ring announcer Gary Michael Cappetta was able to retrieve the portion that was left in the ring, but it couldn’t be saved.
“So, when I got back they had it with tape around it. I asked Gary what it looked like, and he said, ‘It looked like a piece of uncooked chicken with tape on it.’ No, they could not save it and I did not know the German word for ‘formaldehyde.'”
WWE fans know that Mick Foley is a tough cookie, and he took the entire episode rather lightly. Foley is now retired from the ring as is doing really well as an author.
