How Far Have You Gone Wrestling?

[Sadistic]

I'm sure everyone here has had some sort of wrestling match with friends, if only a few moves on each other. Then there are more here that have filmed some moves. There are those that have planned out matches and filmed them. Have you done this and how far have you gone? Would you be willing to blade or have you? Ever broken any bones wrestling?
Tell us your experiences.

But in regards to the topic, me and my buddies used to go all out on my trampoline. No blading though.

[vampiro03]

yeah backyard stuff is stupid. people using cheese graders on each other is really intelligent. then when they are 30 and can't find a woman because they look worse than new jack is even the more reason to do it.

[Xero]

I once Rock Bottomed my pillow. Then I took it, lit it on fire, put it in my mouth, and ran around the room screaming 'my dad sits in the garden', but it came out as 'my dad shits in the garden'.

I have some buddies that do backyard stuff. Like..lighting tables on fire, kendo sticks, garbage cans, the works. I never participate though, I think they're idiots.

Hah, one time my friend did a five star frog splash from a balcony that's about 10 feet up. It turned out more like a negative 3 star frog splash, with him doing more damage to himself.

[Azriel]

I killed a man

[Team Sheep]

I did a frog splash out of a tree onto my friend in school before. Didn't hurt. My main concern was that my buddy would pussy out and stick his knees up at the last minute or something, you know like an automatic reaction. But he controlled himself. Thankfully.

[Yashamaga]

I can do a shooting star press on a trampoline

The day before Independence day this year, a really good friend of mine was having a cookout and his family was going to be there and them along with the next door neighbors are both wrestling freaks... So knowing that my brother owns a 16ft. training ring and me and my buddy have some pro wrestling training, they asked us to put on a little show for them, so we did. We both recently got our professional licenses. All in all, I think it was a decent match considering how green we both were... If anyone wants to see it, I have it on my computer.

[Rob]

I did an armbar once

[vampiro03]

you get a "licence"? I never knew that

[aaronkyle86]

Yeah, I think Kentucky along with another state (I think New York?) are the only 2 states that require you to have a license.

[Jalapeño]

I had a "match" once with some friends. It was like, see who could get who on the ground first, type thing though. Kurt Angle_style moves

[Funky Fly]

I got double rockbottomed out of a boat once. The original plan was a double suplex, but I wasn't having it.

[The Fox]

I almost broke my cousin's neck(not Marcyo but he did the same thing to the same cousin lol) on the trampoline with a power bomb...well I thought I did cause he started crying

[redoneja]

I accidently put my friend's knee through a wall, when doing DDP's Pancake Facebuster. I picked him up and lost my balance. I then shifted my weight so I didnt drop him on his head, but when I came down his right knee went hard into the wall and put a good sized hole in it.

[Loose Cannon]

There actually used to be a bunch of us that wrestled on an ocassional basis around 1997-1998. It wasn't backyard wrestling stuff. More like chain wrestling half the time with the occasional wrestling "moves" thrown in. Our ring was a grassy area that was surounded by some poles that connected together horizontally and there were three levels of them, so it looked like a ring.

When you got thrown to the "ropes" you had to bounce off. We did a lot of fake punching and fake kicking and stuff just like the WWF. I was in a tag team through most of it, although I did get a World Title shot once, bt got myself DQ'ed by not letting go of my "Twister" That was my submission I won the tag titles so many times, usually by cheating. The last time we lost them, our valet turned on us when she hit me in the head with my skateboard. lol

And around my neighborhood, me and four others created the Hart Foundation stable. It was hillarious cause we would just do random beatdowns to kids that we knew. And there were lots of kids in the nieghborhood. good times. We replicated the Hart Foundation beatdowns that were taking place on Raw

Thats right, you know here in Kentucky its illegal to bleed in a wrestling match? Sucks pretty hard. We have to go to Tennessee to blade.

[Innovator]

I chain-wrestle with my friend who's the heavyweight wrestler at my college. Made him tap out to the guillatine

[Destor]

The most hardcore thing I ever done was either taking a Van Damanator off a scaffold or getting speared straight though a ladder.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I've won state titles for amateur wrestling, and have done and won a ton of MMA tournies, that count?

I've been doing Martial arts since I was like 4. Did pankration, bjj, judo and MT kickboxing.

[Danny Electric]

I gored my friend (Havok) whilst he was holding a chair, which smacked him in the face. It was payback after he Rock Bottom'ed me on to hard ground and then out me in the ankle lock.
Just after my mate hit the enzuguri on me stiff and cut my lip open.

[Kane Knight]

I once suplexed my friend's balls into barbed wire and broken glass.

I've got a rep for choke-slamming people, though the worst I've done is grabbed someone by the throat, and that was a real fight. The most severe move I've done is a Rock Bottom or a sharpshooter (Not "locked in"). In an actual fight, I've done things like headlocks (real ones), full nelsons, Did an axe kick once (Couple of guys have used this as a finisher), and of course I've spit an apple in someone's face. I've actually wrestled (amateur) and taken a few martial arts classes (HArdly an expert, but still), so I've done quite a few moves similar to WWE/whatever moves, just very few in a "let's imitate wrestling!" fashion.

Oh, but when my ex hits me, I do the "Big Show corner slap" bit. I "shhhhh" everyone then act like I'm going to slap her across the chest. Haven't hit her yet, but she freaks out like I really will EVERY time.

Oh, and there was that double Canadian Destroyer off the top of the WTC.

[Stickman]

When I was in highschool the cool thing to do was random wrestling moves on anybody. Well my specialty was during rugby games in rucks and mauls was DDT's and Stunners. I never got a penalty for doing it because it was always well hidden, but man it cracked everybody on my team up because they knew what I was doing.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I dunno, if you are insane backyard wrestling could be fun. This of course meaning you and your friends fully understand that you will probably kill one another and are cool with this.

I'd probably do it if I was mad drunk

[The One]

I did Indie...I have done a shit load of stuff...as far as injury, my back is in pain for the rest of my life (thank you Thomas you fucking idiot), my knee was blown out but I am all but 100% recovered from that, etc. etc. etc.

[Psycho C]

My friends and I started the Imitation Wrestling Federation back in '96. It was a group of about six guys and we'd have different characters. My gimmick was Psycho C, hence the name. We'd wrestle in the Dungeon, my friend's basement, where we'd Irish whip each other off of the couch and two pillars that held up the ceiling. Needless to say, the pillars move when you touch them and the couch has four broken legs.

[mitch_h]

I guess i'm an "indy worker". The largest crowd i've ever worked in front of was about 400 people. Some of workers that i'd consider big names that i've worked the same show as include, Sonjay Dutt, M-Dogg 20, Austin Aries, Colt Cabana, Alex Shelley, Jimmy Jacobs.

[Gone Mad]

The usual crap when I was a kid with my cousins: elbow drops from the cabinets, dropkicks, sharpshooters, and my fav, DDTs (all this happen later on when me and my friend used to do this and stuff involving shopping carts). Some asshole put in a headlock long ago, so the way I countered was the backing him up into a fence and tossing him over.

And my good friend got a random hip toss on me, after I tried to clothesline him. Landed on a nice comfy birdcage.

[RK0]

broke my arm, got chokeslammed on a flamming boggey board and did an elbow drop off of a garage.

[Kane Knight]

Ever wanted to smack someone with a trash can in Wal-Mart or some similar store?

I've been in a few wrestling-type situations.

My friend Josh was about 300+ pounds, not shittin' ya. This kid was fat. This kid was real fat. One time at school, I heard him screaming something behind me. I turned around, and the first thing I see is him charging straight at me, head lowered and arms out. This was at a point when Goldberg was a prominent character--can't remember how long ago it was, if it was WCW or WWE Goldberg--but I knew exactly what Josh was doing. That fat fuck was gonna spear my ass. My first instinct was to just get the fuck out of the way, but I was on a narrow walk in front of the JROTC building. Getting out of the way would mean literally diving into some bushes (either that, or learning how to walk through walls). My second instinct was to lift my foot and boot that Twinkie stealing mother fucker right in the face.

And I did.

And he derailed, like some kind of greasy pudding train. He literally rolled sideways through the air, and fell straight on his big ass. My stoner friend Jake (note that I myself do not condole the use of drugs, I just hung out with a stoner at the time) almost never stopped laughing.

I also had a kid Brainbuster / Impale DDT me in the middle of a spar in a martial arts class. We were grappling, and I was expecting the usual rolling about and shit. Nah, this big turd lifted me into the air and nearly smashed my head on the floor. Luckily, I tucked my head in before impact...so I was disoriented as hell, but nothing injured.

[Pepsi Man]

Meh, in High School, I actually managed to incorporate wrestling into two of my projects.

First, in my Freshman year, I had to film a commercial for what I'd almost say was our equivalent of shop class. I honestly don't remember exactly what we were supposed to be learning during this, but I remember that we did the Royal Rumble. Originally, were were going to go with WrestleMania, but we just didn't have enough time to work with to include everyone if we were to do that right.

Anyway, if I remember right, we actually had the whole class in ours (it was a group project, but no one could resist being a part of this. Wrestling was HUGE. It was 1998.) We were just kind of doing really cheesy brawling, and if you landed outside of a certain range, you were eliminated (there was no throwing.)

Then, in my junior year, in Communication Systems, we actually did quite a bit of work with video cameras and filming various segments. I totally had to talk my group into this one, but after much negotiation and changing who was doing what, it ended up being me, from "Parts Unknown", "Dangerous" Daniel Freda, versus Jeremy "the Hitman" Hartsell. I think it was for the World Title or something, according to the announcer. We had so much fun fucking up the announcing and shit and redoing it time and time again, and actually, in the last shoot of my pre-match promo, I was fighting really hard not to laugh.

As an Undertaker mark, I had that "serious", "determined" personality, and I predicted a long, hard match, but that in the end, the Hitman would "Rest...in...peace.", complete with eye-rolling. HEY! Give me a break, I already said I'm an Undertaker mark. Anyway, Jeremy started his interview as though he had mutual respect, then I think deviated from his script, but all for the better, as he came off sounding more arrogant and heelish.

The match was filmed like just outside the gym or something, complete with gym mats and all. Hell, I think the teacher even got "clearance" for us to do this, even though I knew better than to do any actual wrestling. Anyway, bell time, and the match was obviously pretty cheesy, but considering our lack of any wrestling training at all and the time limit, I don't think it was horrible. We locked horns, and I Irish Whipped him into the wall. He came back off of that and applied a Sleeper Hold. My arms went down the traditional two times, but then I elbowed my way out. I turned around and nailed him with a Knee Lift, and then I made the cover and got the three count.

We originally had a bit more stuff planned, but like I said, we had time constraints, and I think even as it was, we just barely pulled it all off.

I was announced as the winner, and then it was time for the post-match interviews.

I looked into the camera and after I was asked my "thoughts on the match" by the interviewer, I said, "That was the hardest match of my life, but in the end...I won, just like I said I would."

They interviewed Jeremy, and Jeremy broke into tears and stormed off (scripted).

When it came time to watch that, the class laughed their asses off at it, especially the whole, "That was the hardest match of my life." part. HEY, I was an Undertaker mark, but Undertaker was a face, plus I wanted to build Jeremy up some.

The funny thing is that like the whole class and the teacher were all convinced I'd be a pro wrestler in the near future.

[SuperSlim]

hmmm I remmeber a long time ago we used to have matches on the trampoline. planned a couple of spots. CHokeslamms, suplexs, powerbombs, bodyslams, then of course sharpshooter, and always finished with the tombstone.

On the grassy lasnd there weren't any powerbmbs but light chokeslams and superkicks.

Then my last match was in my own back yard. We have a fenced in yard. Man It was crazy. He sold me irish whipping him into the fence so well that my mom was outside at the time and saw it and said we had to stop it cause she thought he was actually gettin hurt when all he was doin was liftin his foot up at the right moment. Finished that match off with him going for a stunner. I caught his foot, flipped him backwards. He lands on his feet then I nail the stunner for the win.

It was actually a nice looking spot.

[wrathchildCEW]

Never really play-wrestled much as a kid... now I'm 16, and I'm actually training. Hoping to develop sort of a vicious technical style.

[loopydate]

When I was in elementary/middle school, I convinced my mom to let me keep some of her old furniture that she was going to throw away in the basement. So, I made a "ring" out of a sofa, a mattress/box spring set, a recliner, and an armchair. Pretty shoddy stuff, but at least it meant I wasn't doing moves onto concrete, I guess.

Usually, it was just me letting off some steam by pounding the hell out of my Hulk Hogan wrestling buddy (poor bastard...). Once in a while, I'd set up elaborate cards that no one would ever see. Good stuff.

But, in middle school, I finally made a friend that enjoyed wrestling, so we'd do the occasional move in the "ring." Nothing spectacular, as we were thirteen or so, but we had fun. Worst injury either of us had was when I sprained my right ring finger when I rolled out of the way of a big splash, but couldn't get my hand all the way clear. Ouchie.

Years later (maybe freshman year of college?), a couple of friends and I were messing around on my trampoline until my huge friend (he was an offensive lineman) hit a chopblock (we planned it out so it looked good, but didn't hurt). Downside was, we were on a trampoline, so when we both hit the "canvas," he bounced back up and caught me in the face with his foot, busting my lower lip open.

And that's the story of my first hardway juice.
