did people always get as hurt today as they did back in the day? feels like they get more hurt now. do steroids make you get hurt less or more?

He had a door slammed on his elbow at least 3 times, I saw the footage and the last door slam seemed to get Braun bad, probably chipped his bone.

Rock never got hurt and he definitely worked MUCH, MUCH more matches than Cripple H, Austin, and Taker when things got hot. Jericho was never injured either. Never heard of Benoit getting injured until he had to miss a year from the beginning of the Invasion to like King of the Ring 02.

This better not be true or else touring to the Netherlands might be cursed. Him and Roman were supposed to headline WWE Live here in Rotterdam on Saturday. Last year's WWE Live main event in Amsterdam was Bray and Roman and that didn't happen because Bray got injured right before it. :snoop:

Just my take on it but I think some of it is that today they work at a faster pace with more (high) spots in a shorter period, whereas it was more methodical back in the day so there were fewer chances for mis-timed spots/botched landings etc

I guess workin hurt in the old days was like a badge of honor, but ya a lot of these Indy dudes seem fragile as fukk


Take pace and spots into consideration. How many dive spots do you see a night now vs. 10 years ago? How fast paced are matches now vs. 15 years ago. I think these nikkas injure themselves because they are doing too fukking much every match.

Also drugs back then vs. drugs now. nikkas weren't getting popped like now.

what about guys like HBK, Eddie, Benoit, Jeff Hardy, RVD
plus i dont think guys like Seth and Finn Ballerina neccesarily hurt themselves on high spots, i remember Seth injured his ankle on a top rope sunset flip. These indy dudes just arent tough, they're guys who eat well and hit the gym and look good, remember those old school ugly body motherfukkers, they were tougher than a 2$ steak

you might be right, it just seems half the main event is always on the shelf now :yeshrug:
