Swimming pool matches are a lot more dangerous than people realize, anything with light tubes obviously exposes people to mercury, etc etc. Inferno matches are stupid but mostly because as previously mentioned the wrestlers get gassed super fast from lack of oxygen and the increased temperature. If you count places like DDT, the Sauna match was also probably a horrible idea along with the campground match, construction site match, train match, bus match and basically every other match type that places you somewhere far away from immediate medical attention or a hospital.

are we talking like a proper full size pool because I'm not sure how you're meant to get a pin in one of those, even in the shallow end

Usually it's a ring in the middle of a pool, often times the ring will not have ropes, sometimes it's just a match in a pool, other times it's a bunch of tanks of water placed all around the ring (see also: Piranha deathmatch). It was also part of the infamous match that was probably the peak of dumb hardcore gimmick types: No Rope Electrified Barbed Wire Swimming Pool Dynamite Double Hell Death Match.

I am actually kind of curious as to how the hell Pogo stabbing Kanemura with the scythe worked. It looked like Kanemura was wearing some kind of padding, but he was also gushing blood. Did they break out a blood pack? We must maintain safety in this highly ridiculous match!

The answer is Pogo was a literal insane person. There's multiple matches of him stabbing people in the lower back with his scythe and then twirling it around while you watch the tip sink deeper into the skin. As far as I know that scythe was not worked at all.

ayn rand hand job posted:Someone find the Big Japan Flaming Barbed Wire ring match I think BJW actually had a few of those. Most of 'em (including the ones in Puerto Rico and W*ING) had the benefit of not being nearly as crazy (ring setup-wise) as FMW's offering, which actually nearly killed Ed Farhat with smoke inhalation. Of course, W*ING negated some of the danger of flare-ups by pre-soaking the ring with water, causing the wrestlers to slip around, and then W*ING Kanemura took a bump directly into a bigass fire and got lit up anyways...

Halloween Jack posted:The worst one I can think of is the battleaxe that the Nightstalker carried around. I'm not sure if they weren't going with the implicit explanation that it was supposed to be a dull prop, but that it was conveniently heavy enough for him to smack his opponents with the flat of it when the ref wasn't looking. oh hey that reminds me of Tiger Jeet Singh's fuckin SWORD

I've always hated the use of weapons that could plausibly kill a human but gets used in the safest, lamest ways possible. Just stick to the chairs, kendo sticks and cookie sheets, guys.

When it's buried half an inch in a dude's gut I never think it looks fake. Obviously it would never be used that way in a fight but it's used in a gross enough way that it works.
