Yall is it me or as a kid I wanted to wrestle in a wwe ring and still do

[@mrpollingz7169]

I do too my friend

[@ssww3]

[@Videogamelover58]

We all do

[@dvon1097]

One of my friends was mad rich growing up he actually had a ring in his backyard. Good times

[@armaggon5920]

I still do

[@gregorykrug8034]

I bounced around in a wrestling ring I helped set up for an indie show in the 1990s. My friend and I were not paid, but were given a wrestling lesson by a guy who used to do jobs in the territories. (It was one of those old-school rings with a spring in the center.) The guy told us that the ring we were in was relatively good for taking bumps, but I recall being body slammed and suplexed. Neither of those moves hurt, but I got rug burns from the canvas. I tried climbing the top rope which was more difficult than I thought it would be. I actually hurt my neck being Irish whipped into the corner. I was in my mid-twenties, but quickly learned that I was too wimpy to be a wrestler.

Your lucky I wanna run the ropes soo bad Ik it hurts but I still want to

[@HV2K]

@@xdeejae99go and do it bro. Go to a wrestling school open day or something. Just to try it out at the very least. I’m in the UK and I went a couple weeks ago for an open day and it felt so natural to me. Anyways go do it ! I ran ropes that were literal ropes like in WWE, and oh man, it hurt. Had red lines on my back.

Next time someone says wrestling is fake. Go buy $200 in 2x4s, put ‘em the ground and tell the person to fall backwards on them one single time It’ll take a lot of lumber but eventually we can all eradicate that annoying talking point

[@sirbrad4]

Why should I pay $200 for someone else's stupidity?

Why didnt put the mic under the ring

[@MrVoomie]

It’s an indie show. They ain’t running in an arena

[@YcyfgUfhccy]

How does it not hurt us there give in the ring or no

[@dvon1097]

Indy rings are like that. WWE and AEW rings are way safer now than they were back in the day

[@Xenothewrestler_YT]

No round or cross cables?

[@IndyWrestlingSchool]

They used cross cables, it happens kind of quick but it's there.

[@Xenothewrestler_YT]

​@@IndyWrestlingSchoolahhhh ok

[@LEXICON-DEVIL]

No wonder wrestlers get hurt. No updated arenas for decades. They need waaaaaay more spinal padding for those falls. Ridiculous.

[@IndyWrestlingSchool]

I really doubt that "updated arenas" causes injuries. Also "spinal padding" doesn't exist, but maybe you can invent it and patent it.

[@LEXICON-DEVIL]

I didn’t say updated arenas cause injuries kind sir. 🧐 I said they need to update how rings are made to further help prevent injuries. 😂Im not saying spinal padding is a thing. Im saying more padding made of shock absorbent material can further reduce spinal injuries.

[@user-jn4hf5jo2t]

I agree they need to soften the rings

[@JCW65]

are all rings the same in terms of padding or wood and how old do I haft to be to train or get into professional wrestling

[@JCW65]

Really Awesome man hope u do great and somehow end up in a good promotion

[@meesta11]

Never use bungee cords to tighten the canvas! Silas Young just got an S hook thru the hand during a recent match.
