While professional wrestling is technically fake, sometimes it can get very real. Goya Kong of Mexico’s Lucha Libre AAA was just on the wrong end of a botched stunt that made the world of fabricated storylines and punches flip to a sobering trip to the emergency room.
Goya King made an ambitious attempt to somersault off of the ring apron onto a slew of foes. While she executed the acrobatics portion of the move, it was the landing that cost her. The 30-year old had her leg pinned upon hitting the floor, putting it in an all too vulnerable position. What happened next would make the most stoic wrestling fan cringe.

On a positive note, Goya Kong seems likes she’s in good spirits.
“Despite the fact that it is a bad injury, I want to carry on. God sends his best warriors into the worst battles,” she told fans from her hospital bed.
