Wrestling is dangerous there’s no doubt about that, but the wrestlers aren’t the only ones putting their bodies on the line when they step into a ring. NXT referee Tom Castor unfortunately suffered a broken leg during the main event at the live event in Omaha, NE on Thursday, but according to fans in attendance he still managed to count the pin.

According to fellow referee Drake Wuertz, Tom was stretchered out and he squeezed his hand and said, “Drake I Love the Business”.
Please say a prayer for my brother @tomcastorWWE. He broke his leg in the line of duty tonight during the main event of #NXTOmaha. When he was on the stretcher he squeezed my hand and proudly said "Drake I Love the Business". We love you Tom! 🙏
