“Got That Michael Jordan In Him”: Fans Praise WWE Star For Fighting Despite Having Flu as Per Reports

We have seen many wrestlers fight through injuries and health issues to put on a show for the fans and finish a match. Triple H tore his quadriceps in 2001 while in a match, but still managed to pull through. Stone Cold Steve Austin completed a match despite suffering a broken neck and temporary paralysis against Owen Hart.

Recently, Cody Rhodes went into his match inside Hell in a Cell against Seth Rollins despite a torn pectoral muscle and put on a performance of a lifetime. We may just have one more name to add to this after the events of Crown Jewel.

Crown Jewel had a stacked match card that featured a lot of interesting match-ups. In one of the biggest matches of the night, Drew McIntyre faced off against Karrion Kross inside a Steel Cage. McIntyre picked up the win after escaping the cage, as the two put on a good performance. What made this match even more impressive was the fact that Drew McIntyre performed despite being sick with flu coming into the match.

As the report of McIntyre’s valiant effort emerged, fans were quick to show their admiration for the Scottish Warrior.
