WWE star Enzo Amore was seriously injured at WWE Payback on Sunday, after a freak accident ended with the up-and-comer completely knocked out with what was later identified as a concussion.
Pro wrestling legend, and WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin knows a thing or two about mixing it up in the ring and he broke down exactly what went wrong, via his podcast, per Uproxx:
"My thoughts on that are, Gotch, when you're throwing a man through the ropes at that short of a distance, you back off the horsepower. You threw him in with way too much force. I know it was unintentional, I know you were excited, but when you're that close, you've got to slow the horsepower down, and, basically, you just kind of guide him. Give him a little bit of momentum, but you threw him so hard, so close, he couldn't control anything that resulted in that wicked bump. And, one more mistake: You went and picked him up by his head when he was really in a bad position, he looked bad. You've got to be able to sense that.
Gotch, check on a man before you grab someone by the head if you suspect anything. And that's just words of wisdom."
As you can see in the screen grab below, Amore is about a step away from the rope when Gotch releases him, and the duo are lucky the latter wasn't injured worse.
