I remember seeing the ‘Nitro’ where the footage was shown, and yes, it was very disturbing and gruesome. I’d never seen anything like it before. When I saw it, I thought that was it for Sid Vicious’ career — that he’d effectively lost his leg. So I was surprised when years later, I saw him again looking pretty good.
Anyway, I definitely agree with you that fans should be very careful in how they respond to wrestlers being legitimately injured. Sure, we may have our opinions about a wrestler’s style, their on-air persona, or the organization they work for, but we don’t really want them to be seriously injured.
Spot on.
