WWE Referee Was Hospitalized For 12 Days After Nasty Bump

This popular WWE referee spent over a week in the hospital for a nasty bump.

Professional Wrestling, although mixed with an element of entertainment and drama, often comes with its own set of risks. Throughout the sport’s history, several athletes have suffered serious injuries, undergone surgeries, or spent time in hospitals.

Recently, speaking in an interview with Chris Van Vliet, veteran referee Charles Robinson revealed how he had once spent time in a hospital for a nasty bump he had taken.

“Randy Savage elbow. But it wasnâ€t a ref bump. I was a worker then, but that was the worst bump Iâ€ve taken the elbow from Randy Savage. He put me in the hospital for 12 days. It was Ric [Flair] and I against Medusa and Savage, and he came off the top with the elbow and Ric Flair wasnâ€t going to take the elbow from Savage, so they let Little Naitch. Cracked my sternum, collapsed my lung.

So two hours later, I went to my room and I said, Oh, man, I just canâ€t breathe. Went to my room, two hours later, still canâ€t breathe. I called Jimmy Hart lifesaver. He called the EMTs. They came to my room, took me to the hospital, said, ‘Hey, we need to put you in the hospital.†So that hospital, I wonâ€t say what city, they released me the next day to fly home to Charlotte, which with a collapsed lung youâ€re not supposed to do that. So I went straight to the hospital for 12 days. But Randy Savage called me every day just to check on me.â€
