Okay but let's hear the flip side: were those hypotheticals more interesting than the show?
No. I was watching live pro wrestling, the last bastion of traditional high-T masculinity in American entertainment.
Alright, I'll take your word for it, but I just can't get into some of the matches I've seen in the past few years. I miss 90s wrestling, they weren't so scared of doing dumb dangerous stuff in the ring.
Believe me, it's the mundane stuff that's most likely to injure you.
I see the Young Bucks do the most amazing aerial moves and they're totally fine, but Santana does a simple uranage and tears his own ACL.
Another broke his kneecap on a baseball slide.
The high-flying stuff, believe it or not, is safer.
