Kelvin Issac I’m always telling my sister every time we watch an event and someone pulls out a table and sets it up I’m like “oh they’re about to get thrown into it”
As an Indy Wrestler, who wrestled during the Hardcore Revolution years, I can honestly tell you that trash cans aren't as safe as you'd think. I still have the scar on the top of my head from when I took the can. It hit me on the can's seam and took a chunk out of my scalp.
@@jermaineboyd6594 I felt the impact, not the cut. It wasn't until I washed my hair in the gym sink that I felt that familiar sting of water in an open wound.
@@mixesbyfirmament not everything is scripted in WWE, sometimes things go wrong or they make it up as they go. You don’t even watch it so go back to the woodworks
@@0909.b I can accept the fact that actual injuries and deaths are not part of the scenario, as crazy as it sounds. Who in their right mind would suggest that the death of a person could be part of the design of a regular show? But all the other "conflicts" in the ring are absolutely staged and scripted. It's just an ordinary television entertainment program and it needs ratings to stay afloat. It is sad that you cannot come to such obvious things on your own. While I can perfectly understand your position if you are a child or teenager, when I watched this show during the attitude era as a child, everything seemed real to me too. When two healthy muscular men beat each other for 15 minutes and when the fight ends, not one of them has a single bruise or abrasion on his body. Yes, in childhood it all looks different.
Lmfao because he's a glorified stuntman who couldn't wrestle his way out of a wet paper bag Soo he just decided that nearly Killin himself is wayy better
@@shannanigans1337 As in other professional wrestling promotions, WWE shows are not legitimate contests, but purely entertainment-based performance theater, featuring storyline-driven, scripted, and choreographed matches, though matches often include moves that can put performers at risk of injury, even death, if not performed correctly.
Edge hitting that spear on Mick Foley made me think for the longest there's no way this is fake 😂😂😂 but Mick is just a LEGEND and wanted us to be as entertained as possible gotta tip your hat to that
Wrestlelamia: "The guitar shot was made famous by Jeff Jarrett" Honkytonk Man: "Am I a joke to you?" Jake "The Snake" Roberts wasn't the only wrestler Honkytonk Man hit with a guitar.
Honkytonk Man has some awesome shoot interviews too. Probably my favorite interviewee of all time. He can tell so many cool stories. And he just has such a level head on him. Was not a fan of his when he wrestled but sure am now!
So the handle of the fake sledgehammer broke and instead of using a wood thats a bit stronger they figured they'd just use the real one all the time So the risk went from "possibly getting some cuts" to "this could kill you if his hand slips"
I assume part of the logic was "If it's only the real thing, you'll never actually swing it like a hammer which is what caused the injury" but who knows.
@@atrocity6768 then it was bad logic Cause then not only is it obvious the swing is weaker, everyone can see him covering up the metal with his hand So it ended up looking worse with the real thing
@@mrroboshadow I mean its very obvious the swing is weaker when he covers it. That is why it was safer with the real one. With the fake one he'd actually swing it like a hammer. Even with a rubber head its still weight on the end of a wooden pole and can do damage. Hence why I said that their logic was making him only use the real one. That way he'd never actually swing it. he'd only cover it up hit them with his hand. The idea was to make it safer not look better.
@@atrocity6768 are we just gonna repeat ourselves using icreasingly larger ammounts of words now? imma vear the opposite way and make it real simple by using the real thing, the stunt looks worse because the hit is obviously fake
@@mrroboshadow right...so what are you arguing with me about? They switched to the real one because it would be safer, not because it would look better. It obviously looks worse with the real one because he swings it like a bitch. Not once did I say the real one looked better and that's why they switched. Reading comprehension is a lost art.
He can't say weapon or else the advertisers won't give him money even though they sponsor the same show those same weapons are used in. Welcome to 2021, literally nothing makes sense .
JR: "He's going to town on his opponent with that foreign object!" King: "Foreign object? I'm pretty sure that sledgehammer was made here in America, JR."
@Naters hahahahahahaha it's RU-vid's placement as a platform that gives them their freedom from what people post but they are acting as a publisher why do you think we have had so many hearings for face book twitter and youtube...?
All the weapons are real I went to a small event and a guy was laying down (branndon savage) and he got hit straight in the face my dad one of the wrestlers was my grandpa he was the guy that hit branndon savage in the face my dad also wrestled at 17 idk when he stopped but he was the champion and the flyweight champion he was training and since I was realated to the most important guy was my grandpa and my dad wanted to train before the show. Before the show I met people and watched everyone train and I met branndon savage after the show I met others when we were leaving I asked branndon savage how to chair shot felt he said not to good another cool thing when they were training one of the wrestlers wore a mask but while 🚂 by he didn’t so that was cool the entrances were cool to
@@southernvince359 Most of the weapons aren’t real…. Sticks are hollow and made from thin wood, the tables are made from thin wood that break very easily, the chairs aren’t steel, they’re made from light, hollow metal as are ladders. They aren’t made like normal everyday things
"Back in the day" you could bring items like, mailboxes, street signs, etc, to matches, they would confiscate it, but use them in NewJacks garbage can. My friend brought a corncob pipe filled with weed and RVD took it and held it up during the match. After the show we met him for autographs and he smoked with us. Sabu (his tag team partner at the time, joined in too. It was AWESOME
Should have gone with the WCW euphemism, "international objects". I cried laughing when Jim Ross tossed out that phrase back in the day, figuring it was a clever turn of phrase. But when the announcers continued to use the phrase consistently, I figured they were on to something...
People don't realise how bad a kendo stick hurts though. Those little gaps in the wood are by design, it grabs and pinches the hell out of a big chunk of your skin no matter how lightly you're hit with it. They're very brutal.
My brother was a pro wrestler in the independent circuit for many years and carried one. I was hit with it more times than I can count. Absolutely true.
Ya a lot of pro wrestlers said they hurt a lot and there was a women’s match I forget which one put someone one kept getting hit with a kendo stick and you could see her back all scraped up after from it
Anyone who downplays the damage a kendo stick really does has never been hit with something that allows air to flow through it. Reminds me of picking switches when I got in trouble as a kid. I’ve been whipped with wires until I bled but one blow from a kendo stick is guaranteed to ruin your day. You’ll be sleeping on your stomach for the next week.
I was a huge Cena fan growing up..still am. But the fact that he would get wrecked by a chair 23 times and only hit his opponent once when he managed to get ahold of a weapon annoyed me so much 😢😂
All the weapons are real. They just either structurally weaken them or use them in such a way that it either doesn’t hurt or doesn’t connect. For example HHH hitting Batista with a chain. Still shots clearly show that the bulk of the chain hit the announce desk and made a sound while the part near HHH’s hand that had no whip effect bounced of baristas back.
Probably worth pointing out the fact that they use both metal ladders for climbing and weapon usage and painted wooden ladders when someone is going through one. Hence why they always break so cleanly during those spots and obviously, the saw dust that comes from where the break is kind of gives this away too.
Very cool video, but you've got a few factual inaccuracies here: 1) If you're referring to Big Show's injury above his eye at One Night Stand 2008, that was caused by the steel steps, not a defective kendo stick. 2) The Shane/Angle glass spot at King of the Ring 2001 - the problem with the glass not breaking wasn't because they used plexiglass - they used the correct sugar glass but it had been coated with a varnish so that it wouldn't shatter when the pyro went off earlier in the show, hence making it too hard (see the Angle/Shane episode of WWE Untold) 3) The ladders are painted to look like metal but they're actually some kind of wood - look at any spot where the ladders are broken - they don't bend like metal, the wood is cut and rejoined so that it snaps on impact. Great upload though thanks 👍
Ya no the ladders are not made of wood like one would believe they are made out of aluminum thin enough to break when someone falls on them but strong enough to support 2 people I've wrestled enough ladder matches to know how they are made
@@BLaymon060 your right but also wrong. They swap in different types of ladders for different matches based on how they will be used. As far as the Wooden ones painted to look metal, that is FACT. Go back and look at the first couple slams on the ladder when it was sitting one end on the ring and other end by announce table for proof. When it snaps, you can CLEARLY see the orangish brown wood at the snap . Went from silver to exposed spiny wood at the break because of course you can't die the inside of the wood. The only painted the exterior. So the O.P. was 1,000% correct about the wooden replicas. Sorry bud.
In regards to the Shane o mac Vs Kurt glass incident. After the 1st time Shane said throw me through it, now I'm mad, Kurt got him through on the 2nd attempt. This was with a hurt tailbone, 20+ minutes into his third match of the night
This one place I used to work at processed rolls of steel into different widths. One of our customers had these rolls of galvanized that was really thin. I always joked that the WWe was having some more trash cans made.
@@shenaniglens2743 that actually wasn’t meant to happen. He was meant to be thrown off, but the roof broke and he fell through it. Even The Undertaker knew that wasn’t meant to happen. That’s why he later said he thought he killed Foley
After watching this video I have even more respect for the professional wrestlers,who put their bodies on the line for entertaining the crowd. Seems like RU-vid has a lot of stuff where one can get nerdy about pro wrestling 😀
Ladders are sometimes made of wood just painted to look like steel, there was one occasion where you could clearly see this after someone was put through the ladder. There was probably both metal and wooden ones, and the wrestlers knew which ones to use for climbing and which to use for the big spots.
Sorry morons, those ladders are the real deal. Go to a hardware store and check it out. They are made of thin aluminum, and even aluminum when contacted by the weight of a human being falling on them will snap in two.
Tables: Most promotions use actual wooden tables from any local hardware store. With enough force, they'll break. WWE in recent years has been modifying their tables. The table is taken apart and the metal frame is removed from 2 sides and the rubber seam is also removed. Now when a WWE table breaks, it snaps in half rather than shattering into a dozen pieces with metal frame pieces poking up everywhere. Go watch an AEW table spot. It shatters, the metal frame is poking up through the wooden shards (that's what normally causes injuries) and the rubber seam is wrapped around the wrestler who took the bump. Now go watch a WWE table spot. The table breaks in half and the wrestler goes straight through. The AEW table spot looks better but WWE's is safer.
The ladders that wrestlers get put through are made out of the same material, for the most part They usually replace where it's going to break at with wood, or an easier to break material If you look (sometimes but rarely, you have to look closely) at the ladder before it breaks, you can usually see a paint spot where they try to color match the wood with the steel/aluminium
I can confirm the tacks and chairs as a former wrestler. It took a half hour to remove all the tacks after my match. My opponent had to have surgery to remove a tack from the middle of his foot.
Just an amazing video to apreciate the work of these folks even if the matches are fake, that it actually takes a real hit and coordination to avoid a serious injury.
“When The Big Show was injuries by a defective kendo stick” Correct me if I’m wrong, but I remember him landing awkwardly into the steps after being hit from behind by someone.
My dad actually knows Mick Foley and once i talked to him and asked him about why he was doing this and does it actually hurt and he told me that he had a t shirt on so if he takes the shirt off all the tax will just come off straight away, he said it hurt like hell but he didnt care bc he loved doing this anyway.
I've actually been hit by real kendo sticks multiple times, and they actually don't hurt, pretty much, at all. There's a small amount of shock, but thats it. The sound is what makes it seem so devastating.
That's because a shinai was developed to be SAFER than wooden swords (bokken or bokuto) they used before. If course when used as props in films or wrestling they're modified further to be soft. But the whole point of the kendo stick is to be the safest thing possible (they still use fencing helmets when training or sparring tho).
My dad and I worked tons of WWE shows and he always worked the "magic" department. He knows all the tricks of the trade. It's called magic and not props cause the crowd can't sue if they get hit by something
There's a couple of things I didn't see mentioned : Some of the ladders used are wooden and painted to look like steel to lessen impact when they go through them. They cut the string off the kendo sticks to lessen impact when getting hit.
You forgot to mention tables are often used to soften falls from really high up. Not only do they not hurt, they actually make taking bumps LESS painful and that's why you often see 1 and even 2 tables stacked up when wrestlers take really high bumps.
The chairs are made out of aluminum hence why they are so loud when they hit. The ladders are also made out of heat treated aluminum, strong enough to hold multiple people but weak enough to break in half
So I’m confused. Are there some words you can’t say on RU-vid? Because when I watch the videos sometimes your voice cuts halfway through a word. I need to know if its supposed to be like that or if my phone is broke 😂awesome video
I don't understand why the term 'weapons' can't be used in this instance. It's not like it's used in an offensive manner or to commit crime. RU-vid really need to stop being so pathetic
Also, the "steel" stairs are actually made of embossed aluminum. Much lighter than steel, and a whole different sound, more like a dull thump, than a ring. It also gives a bit. How do I know? Former tin banger, and I've hammered on both. :)
I remember having an argument with my first grade teacher. I was adament "ITS REAL!!" and she was like "no its not!". Turns out we were both kinda right. Even if i thought the storylines and everything were legit real when i was young lol
I have set up several of these weapons for an independent wrestling group, and this is what we did. The Double J guitars were just cheap, but real guitars, sprayed silver. The tables were just cheap plywood but not anything too thin. The ladder was definitely real, I still have it, and it still has the blood stains over it. and finally, the barbed wire was real, but the tips of the barbs were ground down, so they didn't have the sharp point. The rest is down to wrestlers skill. However, it was my job after a match to patch up a severe gash on a head. Luckily I had done a first aid course and had a decent first aid kit.
I was hit by those weapons, and I completely agree with you about those weapons, and I might count the ring as well as a weapon because of how dangerous it is, one bad move could end up killing you I've seen it myself
9:52 when Calisto is put through the ladder by Sheamus, you can clearly see where the ladder breaks it's made of wood and some of the pieces even break off still covered in paint. On top of that, moments before the bump you can see the week point in the middle of the ladder is painted a lighter color than the rest.
I always wondered about the thumb tacks and the chairs cuz it was the only one that made a real sound.. But the rest were pretty easy to spot while watching
#7 Kurt Angle said in an interviewer with Stone Cold that it was break away glass but had been coated with something to protect it from the different pyro set up preventing it from breaking easily
just to clarify on the big shows injury at one night stand it was not because of the kendo stick. the injury was caused when i think john morrison hit big show with a kendo stick or tripped him and he had steel steps in his hands and he caught the steps on his head and then was cut open badly.
@@CursedinDisguise Yes it would. There is nothing racist about it. One man is telling another man to get a table to work together to defeat their enemy. Race, creed, and gender do not play any effect.
I knew about the thumbtacks. With a lot of them, it less painful because you weight is distributed among them. The same concept applies when one lies on a bed of nails.
Wow just found your channel, man that is good content, I wish there was channels like this in Spanish, good thing I'm learning English and I get most of what you say. Greetings from Mexico
