WWE Discussion Thread (4/15 SD: Edge's Retirement, WHT match: Christian/Del Rio)

[DarkestLight]

Missed RAW last night. Thanks for the video WIll comment later, but that's laaaame. I never liked Edge but the fact that he HAS to stop or risk paralysis is well pretty damn sad, considering that a) this is fake but b) everything they do to their bodies is pretty much real :/

Well as Edge said in the announcement anyone that calls it fake has obviously never been in the ring. Granted the storylines can be called that. Obviously there's a certain way to throw a punch, take a fall and act like it hurt. However there isn't any amount of training that can prepare a wrestler to take a huge 15 foot fall. Case in point:



Edge's spear off the ladder at Summerslam 2000. Not to mention perhaps the two most famous Hardcore/Extreme Rules falls of all:



The infamous Hell in a Cell match at the 1998 King of the Ring. Foley's first fall was planned. The second one with the roof of the cage giving way wasn't. Even the Undertaker has gone on record in interviews as saying that he was afraid he killed Foley following the second fall.
