Training in full-contact martial arts can give you a different perspective on pro wrestling. You start to notice that, for the most part, people don’t really “fight” like that. Back when wrestlers were still “protecting the business,” the matches often looked a lot more like how real fighting should.

That said, stepping into the ring with pro wrestlers would still be a wake-up call for most people. These are big guys who hit the mats hard, and if you don’t know how to bump properly, you could easily get injured. It’s a different kind of toughness, and it deserves respect.
