Just feel like listing this for the hell of it, all my wrestling attire/gear consists of:

3 pairs of trunks
1 pair of PVC shorts (but not the baggy ones, kinda like Jeff Jarretts)
1 pair of tights that I only wore once

1 pair of boots
1 pair of wrestling trainers
1 pair of kickpads (but gonna order some new ones with a design soon as mine are plain black)

2 pairs of elbow pads, but I only really use these for training
2 pairs of knee pads, one pair with velcro straps :cool:

And a few random things like wrists supports/straps/bands/tape etc.

I try to be as professional as I can. But I know what you mean, I've come across a lot of guys who wrestle in baggy shorts and a sports t-shirt whilst wearing biker boots, and they think of themselves as wrestlers.

Right now mainly its just me and octavious black training with Dave Pillman. I also train with Evan Turner.

I have trained with large groups before as well. Just not so much ATM. Differnet schedules.

I have some handmade tights that are awesome. I tried posting pics but ill have to figure it out at a time when I am less distracted. My boots I got off highspots.
Both are black andsilver. My tights have the jackass skull and crutches mixed with the punisher but its missing a tooth. One side is Gunmetal silver.

Evan Turner the basketball player?

BOOM

YEAHHHHH

I put my kids in the Boston Crab and deliver a lot of Rock Bottoms, elbow drops etc.

By this logic they'll be in ROH by the time they hit puberty.

Clox, correct my mark ass if I'm incorrect, but isn't one of the main points of "wrestling training" to learn how to make us think you are getting dropped on your head...when you actually aren't? I believe it was Jim Cornette who said "Wrestling used to be guys pretending to hurt each other and fans believed it, now guys are really hurting each other and fans don't believe it. Who is the fucking mark?"

I'd say Kobashi.

In the old days, there wasn't many dropping on their heads as many concieve. I believe it went into overdrive, as Baba started pushing the Famous Five (Misawa, Kawada, Taue, Kobashi, and Akiyama) in the 1990s.

Kawada, Taue, and Akiyama were not even in the same breath at Misawa and Kobashi. That is like saying the WWF Attitude Era's "Famous Five" were Rock, Austin, Road Dogg, Val Venis, and Big Bossman.

Who were the WWF Attitude Era's "Famous Five"?

Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, 1-2-3 Kid

Didn't Kevin and Scott leave before Attitude started? I always figured it started a little after they left.

I'd say Triple H (as head of DX), Austin, Rock, Mankind and Vince McMahon.

They ran the entire industry.

Fair enough...but X-Pac was more in the same league as Billy Gunn and Road Dogg in my opinion.

You know I'm messing with you right? It's part of my gimmick.

Nah, Kawada, Taue, and Akiyama are right up there. They weren't as huge, but as far as the company went, that's how the progression went.

Austin, Rock, HBK, HHH, Undertaker

Cool. I was just being a twat to DLVH.

Yes landing in yr head is not what you want. But it happens. Its happened to me three times I my career.

I think most people accept that yes, accidents happen, and you can land on your head. There's a huge difference between a bad bump because of an accident, and a bad bump because the move is specifically meant to drop you on your head. Moves like Chuck Taylor's Omega Driver, Super Dragon's move, and Prince Devitt's single underhook brainbuster are just bad.

never seen either of them ever take a head drop

you might want to consider working your traps clearly you lack the strength to keep your chin tucked on impact

to be fair the Awful Waffel is usally pretty smooth

Most of the time I land fine. Just a couple times I didn't protect myself properly. or didn't reach full pivot.

And Taker usually does one risky high spot a year at most. (Not counting "Old School," which is pretty damned safe all things considered.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DLVH84!

Thank you.

I consider Tombstones and Pedigrees to be head-drops. DDTs done by certain people as well and double-arm DDTs of course.

I'm talking about the risk of any and all moves where a wrestler is going to simulate being dropped on his head. I've seen a shit-ton of piledrivers botched. If you can make it look like you're dropping a guy on his head ala Tazplex or whatever, great...but every time you do that there's a risk of fucking up and legitimately injuring a guy.

Would be nice if wrestlers didn't have to do 6-7 wrist-clutch exploder suplexes to get the win on a 145 lb skinny white-dude in basketball shorts every single match.

the difference is in one case you're given the illusion and the other they actually do it. not the same thing.
