Robin, I think oc1 was just making the distinction between the scripting of the matches v. things like UFC or other MMA. I'm not as big a wrestling fan as I was before, but it pisses me off when people call it "fake". It might be scripted, but you've gotta be a true athlete to be able to go out there and do the things they (you) do without 1) hurting yourself or 2) hurting someone else.
NP,,,BTW,,Who says we dont get hurt?lol
Ive heard about these so called "blood packs" and "Rubber" chairs.
After 22 years,,I havent seen a single one.
I have scars frombarbed wire,broken glass, etc.
Even permanent injuries from being hit with everything from chairs to kendo sticks and trash cans (Mace should haveknown that trash can was corugated steel!)
I havehelped train a couple of kids in UFC. They train as hard as we do,,hats off to them.
I've been trying to get some MMA events in my venue is really why I asked. I've gotten really close, but no promoter has ever been able to go the distance.
Have you ever read Gibson's unused script for what should have been the 3rd Alien movie? It's really good...
I havent seen the script,,id loveto read it .
