A Legacy of Failure: Brock Lesnar Must Combat Both History and Cain Velasquez

Still, 61 year old Ric Flair and 57 year old Hogan have had wrestling matches. Couldn't do that in any REAL sport.

If you watch their matches you will note they don't get bodyslammed often if at all. Plus Hogan can barely walk down the ramp anymore.

Still, there is far more wear and tear in REAL sports, that's the point I'm trying to make.

Because Freak they usually do an afternoon show locally. A school, a fair, a mall, etc. all part of the "pump the locals up" thing. In Duane "The Rock" Johnson's book, he one time had 3 matches in one day, even though he go hurt, he still wrestles. Besides, if you ever have a chance to get bodyslammed in the ring by a pro, it fucking hurts! I don't give a shit what anybody says, it is no joke and doesn't feel well. The "fall" of the bodyslam is designed so you can avoid major injury and serious trauma, they didn't say it doesn't hurt.

He did that when he wasn't in the WWE. In the WWE they wrestle a maximum 300 times a year and that is the absolute limit. Also, I do know how much it hurts as I did 3 months of pro wrestling training.

I'm starting to like Brock, what's going on

A wrong point. Only the NFL has more wear and tear. Pro wrestling injuries are so much worse because you perform through them and never see a team doctor or miss time for minor injuries. Blown knee? See you next week in a knee brace.

Find me a list of dead baseball or basketball players that died under the age of 65 since 1985

Most of those were from Steroids.

That's speculation. Proabably false speculation. Injectable steroids haven't been shown to be lethal in any way. And your argument assumes that the other sports don't or didn't have steroid problems, which I would argue is false.

When you over do it it has a lot of bad side effects. Also a lot of wrestlers are addicted to pain killers.

GODDAMN WOLF! Where in the hell did you find that list?
