My worst injury was when I was 12 wrestling with my friends in my frontyard and getting suplexed, resulting in me going to a chiroprachter for the next 2 months.

Horsing around and wrestling with a friend is one thing. But if you are stupid enough to do things like jump off of your roof onto each other or hitting each other with chairs then you deserve to get hurt.

Come to think of it, not merely stupid, fucking retarded.

Now, that's a little unfair. I agree that anyone who calls themselves a wrestler without formal training is a jackass, and that anyone over about 15 who is playfighting needs to grow up a bit. But heck, whe all had a bit of a rassal in the living room or school field when we were kids.

The worst injury that I have had was just messing up my back. I was wrestling and I would pick the guy up and slam it and finally when I picked him up my back just gave out.

My friend snapped his thumb once by wrestling with some kids and went to put his hand on the ground and his thumb dug into the ground. Well at that exact moment his opponent slid into him hitting his hand and it snapped his thumb and broke it.

I may come off as a jackass, but the fact of the matter is, wrestling in your backyard is an insult to the very sport for this reason, as soon as you guys hurt yourselves the entire industry is blamed for it. How man times do we need to hear about how "Pro Wrestling is the reason my kid can't walk" or what about people trying to sue the WWE because their daughter was clotheslined and killed by their son. It is a disgrace. I myself have sustained a VERY painful and damaging injury to my knee, one that will effect me for the rest of my life. I am currently not wrestling anymore because of it..and this was done by two pros...

So when I say doing it in your living rooms and backyard is an insult, it really is. You are walking a tight rope were if you fall off, the indsutry is blamed. I don't mind goofing off and throwing a buddy in a headlock or something, but when I see tapes of kids doing moonsaults off a ladder to a friend on the ground, or I see some 12 year old powerbomb his little brother, it not only offends me, it scares me. And the fact that nearly every person in this thread as sustained some form of injury while doing wrestling, is proof enough that injuries happen, and pro wrestling is blamed for them.

If I had it my way, every Backyard Fed and every Basement Fed across the nation would be done away with. If you want to wrestle, GO GET TRAINED! It's like jumping onto a football feild, playing tackle football, with a bunch of guys who have never been trained and only watch the NFL on sundays. Your asking for trouble becuase one of ya is gonna get hurt. You don't see people watching the Olympic Gymnastic team for a while and then run out to their backyard and atempt a double back...

I just don't understand why people think they know even the first thing about how do perform moves properly just because they have seen it on TV a few time.

I once Pedigreed my 8 year old cousin because she wouldn't stop bitting me. Luckily she was fine

Backyard wrestling is a reflection upon the societies that spawned it. A group of jackasses who think theyre invincible decide to do stupid things. When they get hurt, the finger of guilt has to go elsewhere, so they blame pro wrestling.

Of course, even at the WWE's worst moment, injury wise, they had EMTs standing by and legit training. Even when Owen Hart dies in ring (on of the bigger incidents), they were able to at least treat him (even though that injury was so severe it ended up fatal anyways).

It's funny though. You don't hear people try and ban basketball because a couple of kids decided to play street hoops and got injured. Growing up, I got more than one massive scrape from playing basketball on cement or ashpalt. Nobody ran off to the NBA to ban them. INjuries happen in a lot of sports, a lot of sports which are mimmicked by kids all across the country.

I guess this means the popular perception is that wrestling fans are dumb (at least, dumber than NASCAR and football fans, which is pretty dumb )

Well I tore my knee a few months ago while training submission wrestling in the army. The dude I was wrestling with was like 6'4" and 200lbs and I'm only 5'9" and 175lbs, so no wonder I got hurt, but the injury was an accident that I sustained as I his weight drop on the side of my knee while we were on the mat.

I once "pedigreed" my ex's brother. He was young, and I never let go of him, so he was pretty safe. It's funny though. He "sold" it as comedically as Flair. Staggered around for like 2 minutes.

In retrospect, I shoulda done it of a roof into flaming barbed wire and glass. That woulda made me COOL.

I've also used some ameteur wrestling moves on people before, but I have some training. I'd have more if the fucking school didn't cut the program...People might get hurt...

See. That I agree with.
