Anyone Find It Ironic That The Safer They Try To

[Guest BoboBrazil]

They keep taking away moves and taking away moves so wrestlers won't get injured, even though a freak injury only ever happened once in awhile and now since limiting their moves to make it safer more people are getting injured than ever.

It's because they don't encourage small guys who are limber and flexible... they encourage hosses who lift excessive amounts of weights.

 

If you have large muscle mass with little flexibility (HHH, Nash, Kane, etc.), you are bound to start tearing muscles. But take a look at Rey, RVD, Rock, Hurricane, Noble, and so forth, and you'll notice that the guys who aren't built like brick shithouses (or simply fat, like Buh Buh) aren't tearing muscles... that's NOT a coincendence. It's only a matter of time before Brock tears something, I tells ya.

Basically what the last guy said.

 

They may look better with all the bulk but they won't be healthier.

[Guest AndrewTS]

Very true. Which makes it kind of laughable how they don't want to push smaller guys to main event because high risk styles shorten careers--which may be true in the long run, but in the short run they stay healthy and don't suffer such freak injuries like quad and bicep tears.

 

Of course, the exception is the tragic tearing of HBK's smiling muscles, which required a significant amount of recuperation time.

Have you actually seen Nash's legs?

His biceps, yeah. But not his quad--that's a matter of atrophy and weak tendons I believe.
