How so death match dudes deal with the pain like this? Are they legit the only tough guys in the biz?
Drugs and masochism.
>>19668568a lot of the damage is superficial and there's a lot of exaggerated selling
>>19668568Some people are just insane and have a weird relationship with pain. Some of them end up in deathmatch wrestling.
>>19668607The barbed wire is real so is the glass etc
>>19668568more like they're the last crazy carnies in the business. I'm glad they exist because rasslin wouldnt be the same without crazy lovable masochistic fucks.
>>19668568CZW and JCW's deathmatches usually have people who are well trained and know what they are doing. Most of GCW on the other hand unfortunately does not.
>>19668618Sugar Glass and Clipped Wire, good ole pro wrasslin secrets
>>19668706a lot of the glass in deathmatches is tempered glass that's designed to break into small pieces rather than big shards that'll slice an artery it's what they put in shower doors or cabinets or whatever so if the glass breaks you're gonna get some cuts sure but nothing that's gonna go too deep
>>19668706So they are pussies?
>>19668706I've seen these guys after matches and it's not entirely staged, I would say it's mostly not.
>>19668702this, the quality of deathmatch wrestling varies greatly. some of them are actually very talented while some others are true and genuine shitters. GCW is undoubtedly the worst of all. Think about this, CZW actually did much crazier shit than GCW, and yet they've had fewer horrific accidents and no deaths.
>>19668739What a wizerked mizark.
>>19668770Well CZW also operates an entire wrestling school as part of the promotion. In fact, there were a few other incarnations of their wrestling school including one with Chikara co-owning it. JCW on the other hand usually scouts from local indie promotions that they end up encountering. Most are usually the normal type but they've started saving the deathmatch stuff for rare occasions.
>>19668706No the indie feds don't used clipped wire >>19668718This is true with the glass panes but I don't think the tubes are gimmicked at all
>>19668843How about the thumbtacks and stuff
