Dont watch WWE wrestling!

Week 5 Blog

Ever wondered how WWE wrestlers can back up onto their feet after falling off a 5 meter steel cage? Well this post is about how WWE wrestling is fake. First of all, everything you see on T.V. is for entertainment. Here are some points that will make you think twice when watching WWE.

Punching:

When a wrestler punches his opponent, he is actually touching him with a half clenched fist. The fact that the opponent is also in on it, he makes the punch look like it’s the hardest hit ever by jumping up making a loud noise from his feet stomping on the canvas padding. When he punches the guy, he stomps his foot on the canvas making a very loud noise thinking that his fist made such a loud noise. Which comes to my second point.

Staging:

Did you know that underneath the soft canvas padding of the wrestling ring is huge microphones and loud speakers? I bet you didn’t. As the guy is punching his opponent or body slamming him into the ground it doesn’t sound as loud when falling on a padded cushion, but just to make it louder, they put microphones and loud speakers at the bottom to make it louder and make the audience go “ouch, that’s gotta hurt”.

Body Slams and BLOOD:

Ever wondered how they do body slams perfect every time? Well think no more because it is all staged and practiced over and over. When doing a body slam they protect each other instead of hurting them. For example when Undertaker (professional wrestler) is slamming Triple H (professional wrestler), instead of slamming his head down on the floor Undertaker supports his neck as Triple H gets a soft landing and landing flat on his back, which doesn’t hurt as much.

Blood. The blood is real, but its not. When a wrestler gets a chair to the face, the automatic reaction for the referee is to go check on him and see if he is okay or not. But its not what you think it is. The referee is also in on it. The referee slowly gives the wrestler that got hit in the face a small drawing pin. With that drawing pin he slowly cuts himself with the pin, since they are trained professionals they know where to cut and which part of the head bleeds the most to add more drama to it.

Now that you have read about the truth of wrestling I hope you have a better understanding of it. So the next time you watch it on TV or one of your friends tell you about it, think of it as plain entertainment and not a sport.
