My brother used to make me watch wrestling on television when we were kids. I've always been curious as to how far a wrestler will go to get the realism of a fight.
How far did you go? Did you bleed often? Any serious injuries?
Oh yeah. This is actually the reason I'm not actively wrestling any more. You're trained early on where you can hit someone and how to hit them so that it hurts, but won't injure you.
However, every professional wrestler everywhere, if they're serious about professional wrestling, is injured right now. You accumulate small little owies, from landing on your knee wrong, or getting hit wrong, to pulling a muscle. The injuries eventually heal, but by then you have all new injuries.
I remember one time I was wrestling someone and their head hit me below the jaw and I bit down into my tongue so hard that I couldn't talk for around 24 hours.
After the Fans Bring the Weapons Street Fight (the one where I'm getting hit with the stick above), I was stiff all over and had problems moving around for about 3 days.
But, you get into it knowing it's going to hurt. It would be stupid to assume that it doesn't.
