Bite Me? How Michael Cole Almost Infected Jim Ross

That’s a different story. Injuries are one of the few things that can happen to anyone in wrestling at any time. That is not a good thing either, as you could have something happen to someone at the drop of a hat and take them out of action. Some of these are more serious than others, but you have probably heard of most of the more common ones. This time though, there might be a new one for you.

During a recent edition of his Grilling JR podcast, Jim Ross talked about his feud with Michael Cole in 2011, including a time when he punched Cole in the mouth. The punch hit Cole’s teeth and caused Ross’ knuckles to bleed. As a result, Ross had to receive a tetanus shot and doses of antibiotics to fight off a potential infection. The injury was the same as Cole biting Ross’ hand and the medical staff wanted to take extra precautions.

It was a rough time. Check out some of the feud between Cole and Ross:

Opinion: I can understand the pain from the feud as it really was one of the worst in recent history. It was a feud that few people wanted to see and dragged on for the better part of ever, leaving everyone at least a bit annoyed. On top of that, Ross had an injury that needed medical help through a fluke accident. It’s almost like having non-wrestlers do this kind of thing isn’t the best idea in the world.

What did you think of the feud? What is the weirdest fluke injury you have ever seen in wrestling? Let us know in the comments below.
