I didn't want to clog up discussion thread, but pro wrestlers don't wear ample protection against physical impact. There's lots of moves that include needlessly dangerous stuff like jumping on someone with your elbow as the contact point. I tried this on someone as a kid. It broke his ribs. And then after all that you're telling me they're going to get up and yell make generally make a fool out of themselves and their opponents? I'm very much disgusted.

Alright. I can't do it, though. I have to leave in twenty minutes to teach small children that bats are not birds or dinosaurs.

This is sad. I knew this shut growing up, and I'm pretty sure the rest of my friends, sheltered as they were, knew as well. The ignorance of the natural world these days is astounding.

@Badger: I don't. It was hours of National Geographic and Nature and Nova that gave me this knowledge.

@Jam: i really don't see your issue

most performance arts are physically dangerous, it's not like any of these people got into wrestling without understanding how physically taxing it can get

In my opinion- Boxing can be just as dangerous, even with those over-sized gloves that they wear these days.

Punching someone in the head is really dangerous.

It's why we're taught that if we don't want to harm them too much, we try to go for The Mark- which is basically a point on the chest.

Or of course- to take them down using the juijitsu principles so that we don't have to be boxing with them.

But ideally not even being in a fight to begin with.

i read that punching someone in the face with boxing gloves is more dangerous than punching someone without

just in the longterm

It is possible to kill someone with one punch if they're not expecting it.

Especially if they fall in an awkward way.

But I can guess that the repeated trauma to the head would be bad long-term even if it doesn't have short-term effects.

Well- other than the obvious dizziness.

But most performance arts don't include demeaning the person that could be injured/has been injured/is dead.

Did you know that fists of professional boxers are classified as murder weapons like guns and knives?

Now how would you confiscate someone's fists is the question.

Also, did I get pagebottomed or did he just not show up yet?

I think it's more that if you punch someone, it's treated in court as though you attacked them with a lethal weapon like a knife.

I do recall an incident not too long ago of a tae-kwon-do match that ended badly.

One of the participants landed a kick on his opponent's neck. Dude didn't survive, and the 'kicker' was traumatized enough to quit.

I'm aware.

Since it is assault with intent to harm, doesn't matter whether the weapon's a chainsaw or a mop.

It's still attacking someone.

Still-

Just a joke/funny thought considering how murder weapons are usually confiscated in regards to airports and such. So if a Professional boxer's fists are a murder weapon- how does one confiscate them?
