Pick-A-Vid Vol. 7: Wrestling Theme Edition

As you guys know, I'm a wrestling fanatic and walking encyclopedia of knowledge of it. I spent a couple years in the business. It was on a smaller scale, but I got to work with people I grew up watching on TV.

A lot of people say wrestling is fake. It's scripted. Let me fill you in. Yes, it is scripted. Yes, it's pre-determined. But so are movies. So are TV shows. So are most celebrities. It is entertainment. But the consequences are very real. The chairs, ladders, and tables are real. The injuries are very real. People have died for the art of their craft. Darren Drozdov (aka Droz) had his career ended over a botched move, and is now a paraplegic. Hayabusa, a legendary wrestler from Japan, cracked two vertabrae after his foot slipped on a rope and landed on his head. He lived, however he sadly passed away in 2016 from a cerebral hemorrhage. Enough with the doom and gloom...

These may be different in tone and style, but I consider them personal favorites. Pick your favorite one for whatever reason you decide on.

It also dangerous with a high chance of injury. Better to just watch on tv and be lazy

A lot of professional wrestlers have athletic backgrounds. Guys like Chad Gable, Shelton Benjamin, and Brock Lesnar have NCAA caliber backgrounds. Kurt Angle won the gold in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Taller guys like Kevin Nash/Diesel and The Undertaker have backgrounds as basketball players. Guys like Roman Reigns, Goldberg, and Baron Corbin had careers in the NFL as well.
