Not a big WWE fan, but Daniel Bryan has more experience in alive training than you’re giving him credit for:
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Huh, I should start watching WWE again.

Hell yeah, you should.
Two words…Bella Twins. That’s all you need to know.
I stopped watching because of the over sexuality portrayal of a lot of the women. I’m a fan of Lita, Trish Stratus, Molley and Chyna. They actually fun to watch in action.

You disappoint me.
And Chyna’s porn video was gross.

I wouldn’t classify professional wrestling as “compliant partner training”, as in the George Dillman sense. Most of the time what they’re doing is not compliant but actually loosely choreographed, partial resistance…and definitely with some random, chaotic elements. Without some resistance, pro wrestling would not look the same. It would look totally fake, as opposed to mostly fake.
The average professional wrestler is actually quite strong, well conditioned, and capable of all sorts of “real” grappling. Pro wrestling is more like stunt fighting. Wrestlers can and often do get seriously injured performing “compliant” moves.
So I have no doubt in my mind that most if not all professional wrestlers can take more damage and inflict more damage than most people, including “martial artists”, particularly those with no professionally-geared experience or training.
That shit will leave a mark.

I was Chyna’s bodyguard for a day. No joke.

Ha. I bet that was an interesting experience.
Who would fuck with Chyna though? Somebody who wants to get gorilla press slammed?
So she wouldn’t get sued for excessive force. Same thing with Rob VanDamme twice.
I knew a guy who went through the training camps for WWE (or whatever it was called then) in the 80s. He said the training camp was 90% real as everyone was gunning for a position, but he deemed the fights 90% fake.
Once you wipe away your “The Wrestler” man-tears, this’ll cheer you up, it’s the best video ever put on the internet by a real professional wrestler.

Some of those fights sometimes got a little more real than intended. I remember Kurt Angle challenging Daniel Puder (I think) to a real match and Puder caught him in a Kimura armbar. The ref had to quick count to save Angle’s pride…
