Injuries
On July 2, 2000, Quinlan was power bombed through a table on concrete outside the ring by his opponent at the Thompson Motor Speedway in Thompson, Connecticut, before winning the IIXtreme Hardcore Championship. While the damage wasn't noticed immediately, he ended up with a compression fracture of the L2 vertebra with L1-L2 posterior and right posterolateral disc protrusion indenting the thecal sac.
Quinlan was injured during a training session on April 15, 2005, while performing Plyometrics, as a result of years of physical wear and tear on his body. An X-ray, CT scan, and MRI revealed three lower lumbar vertebrae compression fractures at the L3,L4 and L5 vertebra with bulging discs at L3, L4 and L5. These tests also revealed the presence of grade three Isthmic spondylolisthesis. This vertebral slippage was detected at the level of the L5/S1 vertebra segment, the L4-L5 vertebra segment, and the L3-L4 vertebra segment.

Famous quotes containing the word injuries:
“Men are not only apt to forget the kindnesses and injuries that have been done them, but which is a great deal more, they hate the persons that have obliged them, and lay aside their resentments against those that have used them ill. The trouble of returning favors and revenging wrongs is a slavery, it seems, which they can very hardly submit to.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“The only thing of weight that can be said against modern honour is that it is directly opposite to religion. The one bids you bear injuries with patience, the other tells you if you don’t resent them, you are not fit to live.”
—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
