When someone says Pro Wrestling isnāt a real sport...
Behold, I give you some of my favoritesā¦.
Randy Orton vs. Seth Rollins⦠This is a Punt reversal into an RKO. Outta fugginā Nowhere. Not only is this athleticism, but mad fucking skill, and amazing control and finesse. We are talking strength, precision, and amazing talent.
This is the Billionaire Dollar Princessā Husband, Triple H Hunter Hearst Helmsley. He TORE his quadā¦proceeded to wrestle for 15 more minutes and WALK out of the arena. He also has an awesome finisher, The Predigree, where you land on your face, unable to use your arms to protect yourself.
Yes, those are tacks. And that man going face-first into them is God. Mrs. Foleyās favorite boy, Mick Foley, aka Cactus Jack, aka Dude Love, aka Mankind. He is Legend. A cage match with Undertaker put him through the TOP of the cage to the ringā¦he then got up, climbed the cage again, and then launched from the top onto the announcers tableā¦He had a front tooth ram back up through his nose.
Oh and Jeff Hardy and Edge in a Ladder match. Edge speared Hardy in midair and fell. Thatās notĀ ātaking a bumpā or selling a strike. Thatās just brutal fucking impact.
And a new guy on the block straight outta Japan, the King of Strong Styleā¦Ā Shinsuke Nakamura. This guy legit hits, kicks, and punches people. (Thatās what Strong Style is.) So not only with some seriously wrecking moves, he literally brings REAL pain.
And thereās more! Seriously! John Cena, picking up Edge and Big Show (which is a combined weight of 682 pounds!) Thatās insane! Big Show is the Biggest Athlete in any business. And heās strongā¦and surprisingly fast. And yes, that is Rey Mysterio bound on a paramedicās stretcher. Yeah, a real human being took that bump.
There are also some AMAZING women who do this sport as well. And while they look sexy and pretty and have their onscreen drama⦠they also kick ass. Becky Lynch tossing the shit out of Sasha Banks with a German Suplex. Imagine the Heimlich where you also get thrown and get the air knocked out of you.
And the Mayor of Suplex City, Brock Lesnar⦠who eats galvanized steel for breakfast, and just is angry all the time.
ALL THE TIME. But I feel I should show more of the great women. Hereās Lita, who trained in Mexico in the Luchador styleā¦meaning sheās all over the place and graceful and lethal as hell. And yeah, she wasnāt afraid to get in the ring with the big boys either.
So damnitā¦itās a sport okay? Give it thirty minutesā¦and youāll see for yourself. These amazing people sweat and bleed and take insane risks to entertain and amaze. What they do isnātĀ āfakeā even if the stories are lame or the stunts are choreographed. It takes to much skill and training to do what they do. And to not give them credit is just⦠*sigh* inhuman.
