  1. Hmm, he looked like he was moving heavy, so that explains that. BTW, you cannot "throw out" a back with a single sneezeliftfall. The incident that starts the pain is only a small fraction of the story. Odds are his disks have been weakeningcompressing over several months, and he needs to spend the next several weeks decompressing with an inversion traction table.

  2. 😭 this shit happened to a former coworker of mines and I laughed so got damn hard

  3. Jordan had the flu game. Cormier had the sneeze fight.

  4. Sometimes I sneeze so hard the windows shake. I absolutely believe you can get injured sneezing.
