Why is most of AEW's roster constantly on the injured? I understand big 6'4" 240lb roided dudes slamming into each other getting hurt, tearing muscles and ligaments. But AEW is full of 5'8" 180lbs skinny guys. I'm not even going for the cheap heat here, its just an objective fact, and one that makes the constant, high injury rate in AEW compared to WWE so puzzling.

Do you retards even finish school
For all we know he had a hairline fracture that finally split completely when he jumped off a stage. It's not like he can grow muscle around his fucking foot even if he was 6'4 240lbs

Orton has also spent 300+ days for 20 straight years falling directly onto his spine. No shit he's gonna need back surgery. That's different from the retards in AEW snapping their legs doing canadian destroyers off ladders into tables or MJF crippling himself doing a cutter to the ground outside the ring

Why do you keep bringing up Orton? He's about a foot taller than half of the AEW roster and obviously is roided, of course he's more likely to tear his muscles.

Ahhh, the wisdom is entering you.

You know why Vince had a body thing for all of those years? Because the little guys break. As someone who has been fat and thin, my theory is that heavier people don't bump as much because they're more used to falling down hurting than a little fella but it could be as simple as larger men have larger bones that are harder to break.

Modern wrestling suck. Matches look like dance routines, fake as fuck, nobody buys into it and all know it's fake, and yet the wrestlers take more risks than ever. That stupid suicide dive spot that EVERYONE does now? That's a risky move. Why does everyone need to do it when it's so overdone at this point and almost no one today can make it not look cooperative? Because Uncle Dave likes it.

Modern wrestling sucks.

No shit. But unlike a chinlock, most wrestlers don't know how to perform a suicide dive without it looking cooperative. You get the crowd's hopes up with a spot, and it disappoints by looking like shit 90% of the time. At least a chinlock is supposed to slow the match down so that it can build back up again. You need that in a match, not yet another spot but this time it's overdone and looks like shit.

Video games. The answer is video games. Everyone does dangerous avalanche style moves off of the turnbuckles, everyone has a diving attack to standing and laying opponents, everyone has a dive to the outside, everyone has submission holds to the upper body and the lower body, all because they want to fill up their movesets for video games.

I agree with you. You can see it with how they treat their "finishers" and "signatures" too, something taken from wrestling video games. A finisher used to be the move used to end a match, which could also be a signature move of that wrestler as it's something they're known for. Now finishers are stronger moves that do more damage but rarely end a match (takes two or three at least). And a match can't end unless the wrestler lands his finisher. I think Gunther is the sole exception to this video game mentality.

Not to mention that EVERYONE does it now. It makes some sense in a big match between two top guys. Now it's all over, up and down the card. Finisher spam happens in every match. It's the EXPECTATION now.

World Tour was released in 97 and Revenge in October 98, which were WCW games and predate the first of the WrestleMania trilogy.

That said, there's a difference between the main event of WrestleMania having false finishes, versus every damn match on the card like it is today. See >>12492979

Have you seen their move sets? A running 720 flip off the top turnbuckle onto two stacked tables being propped up by steel chairs.

You mention that but I'm not sure if people in the thread are quite fully aware of the insane fandom within AEW for the AKI games.
Tony Khan had AKI make Fight Forever explicitly so he can have an AKI game of his promotion exactly like those 90s AKI games.
They're obsessed with it. nWo Revenge, No Mercy, the AEW roster plays those games to death every week.

He means the muscles dampen the blow and protect the bones, which they do.
Less muscle and less fat means there's less to cushion the impact.
In addition the guys and girls in the WWE are taught to relax when falling, because relaxed muscles will take the impact better than tense muscles do.
It's the whole "why don't drunks break bones when they fall" phenomenon, but applied with technique.
The guys in AEW don't know how to fall. Every single drop I see them take, they're tense about, and that increases the injury rate.
The WWE guys flop around when they fall. Consequently they can flail and flop 20x as much before hurting.
