All those dazzling stunts in wrestling can't be real, right? They say wrestling is fake, but sometimes, the injuries are very real. Impact Wrestling's Eddie Edwards has won the World Heavyweight Championship and is a five-time World Tag Team Champion alongside Davey Richards. He's seen his share of action over the last 15+ years, wrestling for Impact, Ring of Honor, and the WWE in various forms. Still, all those years of action couldn't prepare Edwards for the injury he endured on Friday.
Edwards was facing wrestler Sami Callihan in Orlando when a stunt went wrong. Edwards, who was laying on his back, is positioned under a black folding chair. Callihan, who was wielding a baseball bat, placed the chair on Callihan and then swung, attempting to smash the chair over Edwards. The swing misses the center of the chair and knicks the side of it before coming down hard on Edward's eye. The blow broke his face.
Edwards, who was bleeding profusely, was taken to a hospital and where the doctors tended to his broken orbital bone and a broken nose. The orbital bone helps the eye sit properly in its socket, acting as the floor. Edwards is lucky that he is not blind.
