I wouldn't really call WWE "safe", more like "mostly not life-threatening". Lots of wrestlers have gotten properly fucked up over the years. Yes, the intent isn't to cause harm but with all the flashy moves being pulled you are bound to break a few bones at some point
Fair point. In the same way being a stuntman isn't always safe.
Owen Heart died in the ring when his harness failed and he hit a turnstiles during an entrance. Undertaker had his face scorched pretty bad and had to perform through it. It isn't just the in ring stunts that do damage. Its a live stunt performance, and its all very dangerous.
Fine. Pro wrestling is like cheerleading.
Cheerleaders actually suffer a shitload of injuries
Why do you think I made the comparison?...
