Whisper it quietly, but there are those that claim professional wrestling is fake. Which is what makes this clip all the more interesting.
By Declan Whooley
This is taken from an amateur wrestling event at a location we don’t know and shows a wrestler struggling in the centre of the ring before panning out.
We are used to seeing wrestlers use chairs as ‘weapons’, but we have to confess this is a first for us with members of the audience chucking their seats at the laid out wrestler. What makes it all the more impressive is the accuracy of the throws, with the majority of the chairs hitting their target.
Yes we are guessing the chairs are probably rather agile, but it makes for a good spectacle all the same.
And apologies to anyone who may have been upset by the suggestion that professional wrestling is fake. It’s just what we heard through the grapevine.
