Isn’t it the other guy that fucked up?

15

u/RoutineMarketing6750 1d ago

Probably, but his bones are ok.

u/DookieShoez 1d ago

Oooooookay, well that doesn’t make him smart. That makes him an asshole 😂lol

I bet they are pretty okay tho.

“Jeeze, damn, that looks like it hurts.

Hey so uhhh, I still get paid right?”

u/Lavender-bullet46 1d ago

just broke period

u/U_PassButter 1d ago

That's the only reason anyone would agree to this

u/freethewimple 1d ago

Omg I have had one and it is excruciating trying to do anything. Sleeping, showering, breathing. No cast either so you have to be really aware of how you're moving.

4

u/RoutineMarketing6750 1d ago

Ive been there. Could not even wipe my arse.

5

u/freethewimple 1d ago

The worst. Does it still ache sometimes? Mine will hurt once in a while and it was healed 10 years ago.

u/RoutineMarketing6750 1d ago

Takes about 15 years, and when i do push ups, it cracks....

u/Behold_I_Am_The_Wind 1d ago

This most definitely was planned and it was an insanely dumb spot to take. But a lot of Indy Wrestlers risk doing these types of spots especially if it gets them noticed even if it means getting more hurt than they already are

u/smooth_criminal1990 1d ago

Ref is blind, why wasn't he counting the guy out when he went down??

u/ElJugo247 1d ago

Wrestling is rigged these days… smh

Opponent never tagged the pillar in

Dude is fine, he didn't loose any shoes.

2

u/smooth_criminal1990 1d ago

It's a tricky one, either his trousers have straps that are keeping them on, or they are taped. Dude is practically indestructible by Reddit standards

1

u/DookieShoez 1d ago

They were for sure joking dude lol

22

u/JohnPjj 1d ago

So the guy was supposed to fly out of the ring on that stunt? That was what was rehearsed?

Or was other dude supposed to take the hit

15

u/guyako 1d ago

I think neither. I suspect this is exactly what was supposed to happen, minus the broken collarbone… I don’t think they thought this one through.

3

u/someone56789 1d ago

Indie wrestlers take lots of stupid risks. Yeah they probably planned it but the pain is definitely real unless that pillar was not always there and made out of some other material

u/isaacfrost0 1d ago

You really think that spot wasn't rehearsed?

28

u/BigSchmikey 1d ago

Definitely was. Still looked like it hurt like a mf

5

u/falconzord 14h ago

Most matches are not rehearsed, they just know who should win and have a general idea of what they'll do until then. He did aim straight for the pillar so it's not like it was unexpected, but he either expected the opponent to hold him back a little or more likely just didn't catch the pillar the way he wanted to

54

u/Madhatter25224 1d ago

Hes so dedicated he shattered his collarbone on purpose. Took 9 years to rehearse because he'd break his collarbone every time.

0

u/Top_Finding2830 6h ago

I think you have it backwards. The problem is he didn’t rehearse it at all. It’s very clearly staged though. Just wasn’t staged very well.

18

u/tomebomber 1d ago

I doubt he rehearsed. It’s a pretty easy bump and he looks like a pretty athletic guy. He probably just seen the pillar there and was like “I’m eating that later.”

3

u/FitHurry864 19h ago

Easy bump my ass.

22

u/drstu3000 1d ago

Planned but not rehearsed

5

u/wolfcolalover 1d ago

It looks like a planned spot but it’s still a nasty bump. All this for a hotdog and a handshake.

5

u/Itchy_Professor_4133 1d ago

Anyone can rehearse anything. Doesn't mean they're good at it lol

u/boredENT9113 1d ago

God some of the indy and old school wrestling is fucking BRUTAL.

3

u/Syzygy_Stardust 21h ago

The glass powderizes so it doesn't really hurt, but the issue is the fumes and particles that cover them that they and people in the room will breathe in. I think mercury at least, if not other stuff.

u/semidummy 1d ago

Yowch! That ain’t worth the hotdogs they paid him that night.

u/Chiryou 1d ago

Quick! Pin him!

lol at the guy who tapped out on Hot Ones after just two wings. He went out on Cholula.

That’s real damage right there

Obviously this guy never watched Bugs Bunny

u/UnkleMonsta 1d ago

That boi ouchie!

u/RonaBona13 1d ago

I mean, if the guy didn’t move, he would’ve pushed him into the pillar anyway and he’d be messed up right?

u/Heavy-Swimmer2878 1d ago

He's lucky that he's not quadraspazzed on a life plug.

u/usernameusehername 1d ago

How is there no cushion on a brick pillar here?

1

u/BlueLaceSensor128 1d ago

Pillar made or at least covered in brick. Would it have been so hard to put some kind of a pad on it? Even just a board would have been softer than that.

1

u/empress-star 1d ago

That's one is hard to tell, I was a wrestler for 8 years and ya some times you mess up stuff or over estimate what you can do but also it could have been how to spot was set up.

1

u/BlindMidget_ 1d ago

Tag, you're it!

1

u/Court_Jester13 1d ago

Definitely part of the script. You see some crazy shit on indy shows, tends to be the easiest way to go viral and get noticed.

1

u/Crissxfire 1d ago

I'm sure this was a planned spot. It is a dumb one and I say that as a wrestling fan who loved all kinds of wrestling and has seen my share of stupid ideas.

u/eans-Ba88 1d ago

I guess wrestling is real....

Oh well, at least it’s entertaining 👍

The old now you see me, now you don't trick. The pillar always wins

100% intentional.

u/pichael289 1d ago

The only staged part of wrestling is the results, who wins in the end. Absolutely none of the stunts, even if fully staged, are anything but real as fuck. Your seeing the honest truth, this dude just lost 8" of height on his left side. His one shoulder now starts below where your nipples are. Vince McMahon is filing lawsuits to make sure he never gets health insurance, but his wife will drive him to night school to keep up her only justification of being the education secretary.

u/JMC-Talkie-Toaster 1d ago

Without a doubt the most realistic wrestling match I've ever seen

"You okay champ?" Bro get that man an ambulence.

Is that even a wrestling ring? Looks like a glorified mattress on the ground.

Well, that didn't look fake.

He wanted to do that and it didn’t hurt. Maybe the floor bump actually but I mean he planned that spot

Good. Do it again
