Throwing a good fake punch is harder than throwing a good real one lol

Yeah it's hard to make fake punchs that looks like it's connected while not try to hurt your partner

[@KasirRham]

This gives me a whole new appreciation for guys like Brock, Lashley, and Riddle. To be able to do pro wrestling punches and then actually fight someone in real combat is just crazy. The shifting back and forth between two totally different things while making them look alike.

@Keith Cox Big improvement to me.

[@aaronm8143]

Keith Cox Now Brodie Lee is TNT champ 😎 Really impresses how well Dark Order turned it around. Bummed me out when people didn’t like them at first. Super smash bro’s (former name for Uno, and Stu) have been one of my favorite teams for a long time. It’s nice to see them get the exposure they deserve. TNT title is hands down the top “midcard” title in North America. Brodie Lee is the the perfect number 2 champion after the AEW title. His squash over Cody, and bout with Moxley makes it feel legit.

[@HagbardCelineHMSH]

I love these videos. This stuff is sort of like an anti-martial art. Lots of repetitive practice to get good, but instead of maximizing damage you're trying to minimize it. I'm going on 40 in less than a year and am probably a bit too old to get started (there's something to be said for being in good physical shape and free of nagging injuries) but a big part of me regrets not giving this stuff a shot when I was younger.

[@aaronm8143]

Hey it’s never too late. I’m starting Tuesday, and if I’m just wrestling in the local promotion only than that’s fine with me. I just want to give it a shot rather than think what if. Boogeyman didn’t start wrestling until he was 40, and look what happened for him. You never know.

[@lilith4961]

Hey you could still do it and just take more of a Manager role or something so that you are not taking as many bumps

[@greato80]

Well, if you get in shape you could probably do it..your body isn't as damaged as someone who's done it 10 20 yrs. No spring chicken but still could give it a go imo on indy circuit for few yrs just to say you did try it..plus old school guys done it well into 50s.

[@HagbardCelineHMSH]

@@greato80 I'm actually in really good shape, especially for someone my age -- it's not that I couldn't do it in theory. It's just that aches and pains I could just shake off when I was younger can stick around for days, and moving *just* the wrong way can put a shoulder or joint out for a week or longer. Getting older ain't no picnic, and I don't want to aggravate something that could bother me in my fifties and beyond... still, I appreciate the good wishes. :)

Something I had down as a child with my brother, was our art of selling, we never listened to those commercials when they said “Don’t Try This At Home.” We knew it was an art not to actually hurt each other. Me and my brother always did this really well as children. 😂

[@noremorse480]

Just turned 36 years old I wrestled a bit in HS and in Jr college always wanted to try pro wrestling might give it a try soon. Naysayers say I'm too old

[@SantinoBros]

To heck with the naysayers. Do what makes you happy and don't live life with woulda coulda shoulda. Our oldest graduate completed the program at 50 years old. He even wrestled in Japan.

[@greato80]

..there's been pro wrestlers who started at 30 and most do it well into 50s. So you'd still have a good 14 15 yr run if you started now.

[@RealGengarTV]

If your body is good and you can move without blowing up, hell go for it dude. I'm no wrestler myself but I've got 41 years experience getting older and my body don't recover as quickly as it used to do maybe, JUST MAYBE try and go may wrestling and stay off ladders and taking high risk bumps.. it's still your decision tho it's your body. If you feel you can do it I'll come to your show if you ever wrestle west coast Norway 😛

I've been a fan of pro wrestling since the 60's. I've always known what they do is staged, however, the skills they have to learn in order to do the job has never ceased to amaze me. It's one of the reasons I consider them some of the finest athletes in the world.

If you’ve trained boxing this is difficult to learn, it’s literally the opposite of boxing. In boxing you keep your fist loose and tighten when your about to connect. In wresting you keep your fist tight and loosen when your about too connect lol, pro wrestling is such a great art, I’m hoping to start training soon one of these days.

[@SaikoGato]

[@ClandestineSnowman]

Love pro wrestling, have no desire to BE a pro wrestler - but I enjoy watching these seeing how everything is broken down and how everything is done so it rides that line of looking convincing/larger than life AND being safe.

[@wkmac2]

I loved the old days of Kayfabe and the mystery that was wrestling but things change and I'm just glad we can now really appreciate what great illusionists so many of the great wrestlers were and how easy they could work an audience to get them to suspend disbelief. One of the worse things to happen to wrestling back in the day was in the 1980's cable wrestling and the slow motion camera shots. Looked cool watching a Bobby Eaton rocket launch off the top rope in slo mo but even the best can't hide the subtle secrets at that speed. Big mistake that old TV studio wrestling would never make. Thanks again Santino Bros.

Since me and my brother were kids we could sell a fake fight. We had blood capsules from Halloween had the whole neighborhood thinking we beating the crap out of each other. I always loved Hollywood fight scenes as a kid. I developed some ground and pound that looked real with blood everywhere when done. Next day we had makeup on for black eyes. Everyone bought it our mom made us tell tge neighborhood we were full of b.s. haha.

[@thecircumcisedheartofricha7344]

Been in for over 22 years and also have done a fair amount of mma and jits. I have noticed that it's a subjective thing, with exceptions for full blown missing, because it's a fake punch being judged by someone who (most often) doesn't know how to throw a real punch and they (the critic/coach) know you are throwing fake punches so they have the high ground and a position of power to say "getting better", "needs work", or "looks fake" this is more about maintaining the power relationship than solely on bad work. Just learn to wrestle for real, then you won't rely on punches, and you won't need to punch, most professionals do not understand martial arts drilling, kata, technique and think a fight is all brute strength and will.
