Hi groomsy

Isn't that wrestling all pretend though?
Surely he couldn't sustain an injury from that?

I've seen enough of these fights live Groomsy, and I've seem them "not hit" eachother etc
Cannot see how it's not pretend!?

Yeah, I get nothing from the fights game...boxing, wrestling all of it. It's a lot like firearms...outta be banned. Nothing good can come of it.

The punches are filler and allow them to expend time and 'rest' between stunts.
they are basically stuntmen they are not trying to hurt each other as both want to be able to wrestle in the next show but Accidents happen and some of the falls can't not hurt and there is a lot of training that goes into allowing them to walk away from some of the impacts.

Anybody seen "The Wrestler"? Goes into what sort of injuries these guys can actually have, some pretty severe.

It's kind of like in the Rocky movies and other action flicks; a lot of times you can't film a realistic-looking punch to the face without actually throwing a punch -- they just try to pull them as much as possible so they don't do too much damage.

things happen

look at Chris Benoit, head injuries/roids made him a killer
