Candice Michelle recently appeared on Tedx Talks (via Sportskeeda) where she spoke about her injury from 2008 in a match against Beth Phoenix.
“She was a bigger, stronger opponent than me and I knew I needed to go to the top. I sauntered so tirelessly to that turnbuckle and I remember putting my first boot on the second rope and I swung my other leg over, my legs felt like cement and my arms started to shake but I pushed right throughout it up to the top…BAM! The next thing I remember is barely being able to see Stephanie McMahon leaning over me saying, ‘don’t worry, your husband is being flown in.’ I knew this was real, they never fly your husband in. The diagnosis that night was a concussion and I shattered my collarbone and it shattered my dreams of ever wrestling again.”
