If you’ve been a pro wrestling fan for longer than — oh, I dunno, a year — you’ve probably seen a pretty gross injury. It’s wrestling; people get their shins broken or their ACLs mangled on the reg. But sometimes, there’s a PARTICULARLY gross head injury that really makes you sit up and barf. Like a couple years ago, when Reed Bentley basically got scalped. Well, today’s Massive Head Wound Harry is none other than your favorite Lucha Underground codpiece-wearer, Paul London.
London was on a tour of Europe the past couple of weeks, which included wrestling in and scouting potential Lucha Underground talent at Germany’s famed wXw 16 Carat Gold Tournament. Well, on the final day of his trip, he went to Amsterdam and had a match, and … it … did not go as he wanted it to, we can only assume. Based on the head wound and all.
Seriously, this is a very, very gross injury and you definitely should not continue reading if you don’t like gross stuff, because I don’t know whether I’ve mentioned, but it is grossss.
Okay, you asked for it.
Have I ever told you how much I love/hate this silly pro wrestling shit??? In the ER now here in Amsterdam… pic.twitter.com/vhnzQY82D1

JESUS HOW WOULD THAT EVEN
WHYYYYYY
[deep breath]
Okay, we got this. It’s probably not as bad as it looks, right?
They're consulting with a plastic surgeon right now…A lot of my skin is missing…Thanks for the messages everyone, Elephant Man 💙's y'all

Oh, that seems bad.
A second Dr came in…They consulted in Dutch, she squeezed my cut (opening it up again 😂🔫) as they planned the next step…and left. Fun! pic.twitter.com/84uszhY039

So the good news is, now he gets to fly home with a head injury! Safe travels, Paul. Thanks for sharing this grossness with us. We’re glad you dealt with it as only you can, and we’re glad you’re out of the hospital and doing well.
