The first time you have a kick checked, you rethink a lot of things, including gettnig in the ring in the first place. It hurts a lot. in some cases, it breaks your leg.

In every case, you stop kicking. It's amazing ot see a wrestler get so good so quick at checking. Carrot topping(as that form of a check is called) is a more advanced, brutal type of check. actually, it hurts less than the traditional high check.
This is the OFFENSIVE part of checking kicks.

The DEFENSIVE part is the lifting of yr leg so it's not planted as it takes the blow. It allows your leg to "roll" with the strike
