Is professional wrestling fake?
Professional wrestler Chad R. Martin, known in the ring as Big Daddy Storm, gives one of the clearest answers you’ll hear.
Yes, professional wrestling is choreographed.
But the pain?
That part is very real.
During his appearance on The ToosDay Crüe, Chad explains that he views professional wrestlers as “acting stuntmen.” Wrestlers may know where the story is going, but there is no stunt double stepping in when bodies hit the mat, steel, or each other.
Over a career spanning decades, Chad says wrestling has left him with multiple concussions, broken ribs, torn muscles, knee and ankle injuries, and plenty of pain that no script can erase.
He also explains something just as important:
Trust.
Two wrestlers do not have to like each other outside the ring.
But once the bell rings, they are trusting each other with their bodies , and sometimes their lives.
A suplex, slam, or high-impact move may look routine when experienced wrestlers perform it, but one mistake can cause a serious injury.
This clip pulls back the curtain on professional wrestling injuries, wrestling psychology, wrestler safety, choreographed matches, indie wrestling, and what really happens inside the ring.
