Undertaker and Mankind talked about their old match in the he'll in the cell.

Was it scripted? Yes.

Thing is, it was punishing and unsafe.

Taker started the match with a broke foot and climbed a fence and stomped the ground and such.

Mankind fell from the cage with his tooth going into his nose.

Taker wanted to end the match but Mankind said no, we have to use the taks.

So Mankind poured real taks in the ring.
Taker then counters him and drops him into real taks that stick into his back which have to be removed later.

Wtf was Vince thinking

It's fake but it takes a huge toll on the body

Austin, Edge, Angle, Lita have all had broken necks, Foley is a complete wreck, Droz (RIP) was paralyzed, Undertaker had 18 surgeries
Rey Mysterio and Great Khali both accidentally killed someone performing simple maneuvers

A lot of wrestlers get addicted to pain killers it's no joke

Moxley said he'd rather do hardcore spots (thumbtacks, barbed wire, broken glass, etc) than ladder matches because of the long-term effects. Apparently the pain from deathmatch spots is over with quickly, but ladder bumps, you can feel it for years. He still feels some of the effects from ladder matches he did in WWE.

yeah tacks and light tubes suck ass but at the end of the day they're just very tiny pokey bits stuck in you or slicing you just a little. jumping off ladders or doing big spots from the top to the outside or whatever in any sort of a long term fashion is going to mess you up in a much more permanent way. look at how poor tanahashi was moving at forbidden door

Exactly. Moxley's style of wrestling is safer long term than the high flyers. He might have more scars at the end of his career, but at least he'll be able to walk normally.

It's not really much different from other kinds of performance stunts.

Like, yes there's a gimmick and no magic isn't real but like this couldn't have been pleasant to do and most people would fucking die if they tried:

Wrestling is dangerous and does terrible things to the body. The best wrestlers are highly skilled and athletic.

But they aren't really doing the thing that they are pretending to do (have a big fight).

So it's fake.

It's also a bit of improv theater. Stuff doesn't always go the way it does in rehearsal and sometimes people have to change things to appeal to the crowd based on reactions.

Movies kan do a decent job of faking a brawl or murder without actually making physical kontact. Wrestling stunts range from laughably fake to actually tanking through pain.

No, they're standard store bought Steel Folding Chairs.

Nothing special about them, those Steel Folding Chairs aren't nearly as tough & durable as you think they are.

There's no way those things are made from steel. They wouldn't be able to make the satisfying sounds they do when you hit people with them otherwise.

Also they're super easy to lift up. Steel would be extremely heavy.

After Googling, you're correct; WWE doesn't use the Real Steel versions.

Normal Store Bought Folding Steel Chairs aren't particularly heavy.

I have one in my room, it's pretty light weight to hold with two hands.

It would be even easier for those who are as strong as typical Pro Wrestlers.

I can lift the one I own with one finger. If it were steel there's no way I'd be able to do that.

It's not a huge amount of steel in the chair, it's largely hollow and made of cheap folded sheet steel.

Don't expect it to hold that much weight.

It's low grade Sheet Metal Steel, don't put too much thought into it.
