Yeah.

Mat was hard af but it didn’t hurt if it makes sense….


Running the ropes though, That shyt is WAY harder than it looks

Yeah it's hard to get the timing right in your stride so you're able to pivot into the rope leans.

I've taken a few flat back bumps in an indy ring when I was younger, it's jolting for sure, and definitely can see the benefit of being muscled to the max. These skinny dudes really out here killing themselves taking bumps pretty much right on their bones :lolbron:

This is the only way to describe it. It's a firm platform that you bounce off of, and the harder you fall the more it works. It's why you see guys practicing taking bumps they do it hard as fukk. It's a weird thing mentally to wrap your head around.

It was at a convention center, I don't remember if it was just a random indy or a sideshow at a comic convention but being in the ring I felt intimidated by the size of it when you are actually in there

Like on TV if you see someone do a senton or a moonsault or w.e it's no big deal,

but I would be scared to do it for real :mjgrin:

I’ve been in a boxing ring a few times. Not sure how much different they are but the ropes were a lot harder and tougher than I thought.

Ripped part of my skin just trying to bounce off it

i hopped on a TNA ring when Christian won his first title, it felt like thin styrofoam on top of hard wood, which is exactly i think it has

It hurts. Everything in a wrestling ring hurts. I was on one of those super loud cheap indie mats and saw a dude take a DDT wrong on his head trying to sell like the marks do on TV.

It does 2 things for you: it makes you respect what these guys actual go through, but it also makes you despise the ones who take unnecessary risks for a pop in a gym
