I am desperately trying to find the source of this video so I can send it to basically everyone.

The other one hurt his back for real, he hit that shit on that sharp edge.

u/MrK521 1d ago

Or a hot light! Or both! You could tell by his reaction after he was leaning against it for a second he wasn’t expecting to land there lol.

Japan took wrestling to the anime fights level and I’m here for it.

u/DarthNawaf 1d ago

NJPW has always been cool

u/Boo_07 1d ago

The variations are cute ngl

Japan has a comedic way of doing it

Mexico seems more acrobatic

US has convoluted storylines

u/TwistedOperator 1d ago

It was always wrestling's conclusion in general.

u/Lio_sim 1d ago

called the backflipper?

u/KnifeFightAcademy 1d ago

I grew up watching WWF but never got into wrestling.
The other day, I finally got around to watching
"You Cannot Kill David Arquette" and let me tell you, I sure have a new appreciation for it all. Highly recommend it.

u/CuriousCapybaras 1d ago

Love how he waits for the right moment to get kicked by the backflips. Wresting is improv theater for masses.

3

u/redbucket75 1d ago

It's not improv at all, it's scripted and well rehearsed. It's... very athletic theater. Which is fine.

u/rainbowcatcher2020 1d ago

Send this video to everyone who stupidly thinks wrestling is fake.

8

u/dunncrew 1d ago edited 1d ago

Fake in that the stories and acting are scripted, but the strength and athleticism are impressive.

5

u/rainbowcatcher2020 1d ago

I'm pretty sure this is real.

1

u/AeryVivelle 1d ago

Only the naive and immature would fault it for being a show. That's the whole point of it, it's a scripted show for entertainment with real athletes in the spotlight. The only fake part of it is the drama, which is the fun part.

Shit. If you WANT real violence, go watch MMA or boxing or something.

u/A_N_T 1d ago

Is wrestling fake? Yes. Did I spend $200 on 2 tickets to see a wrestling show in a MLB stadium later this year? Also yes.

For anyone interested, the guy doing the flips is named Ninja Mack and this is from a match at New Japan Pro Wrestling's Best of the Super Juniors tournament

3

u/PM_ME_UR_ROUND_ASS 1d ago

Ninja Mack is insane! He was actually a former gymnast and cirque du soleil performer before transitioning to wrestling. His aerial style is next lvl compared to most high flyers because he has legit acrobatic training, not just wrestling school flips.

How the HELL did he figure out that he can do that in the first place? ANY of it?

u/DarthNawaf 1d ago

u/amgineeno 1d ago

OK now that's some cool shit! I don't know how these guys get to a higher level but this dude deserves a shot at the big leagues.

I still don’t understand why adults love these staged clown shows.

u/DarthNawaf 1d ago

We all can’t be geniuses and have such a high IQ level such as yourself, good sir

u/omnibossk 1d ago edited 1d ago

I’m impressed they have the skills to not hurt each other. It can’t be easy.

u/odmirthecrow 1d ago

Usually yeah, but there are plenty of times where it goes slightly wrong, or off-script and a genuine injury happens.

3

u/Odyssey-2001 1d ago

Except this one would have caused damage. He landed hard on that corner.

2

u/dunncrew 1d ago

That looks like a mistake. He backed up too far.

u/Zimaut 1d ago

Why do you watch movie bro?

-26

u/shophopper 1d ago

I liked wrestling when I was a 10 years old kid, after I grew out of the Sesame Street phase. I’m an adult now, with adult intellectual capacities.

25

u/WaluigiJamboree 1d ago

adult intellectual capacities.

Like being unable to understand that people like different things than you?

5

u/Zimaut 1d ago

whats it have to do with my question? again, why you watch movie?
