WWE STAR SNAPS NECK IN RING!

-

FOLKS who dismiss pro wrestling as fake need to talk to Ettore “Big E” Ewen — he broke his neck in two places during a match.

The 5-foot-10, 285-pound hulk ended up in a Birmingham, Ala., hospital after opponent Ridge Holland threw him overhead in a “belly to belly suplex” and Big E accidental­ly landed on his noggin breaking the C1 and C6 vertebrae.

A former University of Iowa football player, the 36-yearold grappler, who was WWE champion for four months, is in a brace, and doesn’t know when he’ll be back in the ring again.
