If it doesn't look painful...

Hardcore wrestling, like that, is completely ridiculous and disgusting, IMO.

There's no reason that two guys who are just out there booked in a match would want to bring their opponent to within an inch of their life, thats just not realistic with 99% of wrestling characters. There's room for weapons, blood, etc in matches, but there needs to be a rhyme or reason behind why some guy is pummeling his opponent with a baseball bat. I have no problem with a guy blading, or even the once-in-a-blue-moon type nasty spots, but it needs to make sense in the story.

Plus, some of the more extreme shit with light tubes, thumb tacks, etc is just unnecessarily dangerous. You can get your point across without involving things that can fuck someone up so easily.
