Not "Badass" in the regular sense, but maybe badass as in "that dude is bad and has an rear end" is New Jack. Who just loving stabbed a dude in a wrestling match.

He was up against a new kid who was being a dick and goofing off. He asked Jack to "make him bleed" thinking, I presume, that Jack would break his nose or something.

Instead New Jack takes a shiv into the ring with him and opens up the kid's belly.

I think New Jack might actually just be a psychopath. His whole thing is seriously hurting himself and other people in the ring.

Oh, I took a look and it turns out you mixed up the Mass Transit incident with a different incident involving New Jack.

In the infamous one, Mass Transit was an untrained 17-year-old fat kid who claimed to have been trained by Killer Kowalski to get into a wrestling match, and he thought he was hardcore and wanted to bleed. New Jack cut too deeply with a scalpel and severed two arteries in his forehead, causing him to pass out from blood loss, and then the rest of the New Gangstas kept beating him up. New Jack decided to play it up by yelling into the microphone about how much he wanted to kill white people from Boston as medics tried to save the teenager he just nearly murdered.

The one with the shanking was 8 years later against William Jason Lane. They claimed that it was intentional, but New Jack just pulled out a knife and stabbed him 9 times. He got arrested and charged with attempted murder, but I don't think the charges stuck.

This was after he suffered brain damage from taking a long fall onto concrete twice accidentally. I really do think he's just a crazy motherfucker who wants to hurt people and get hurt and indie wrestling provides a legal path for this.

Of all the oxygen you breathe and all the nutrients you eat, 20% is used by the brain.

Cops are not badass. And only a simpleton would put a ramming device on a motorcycle, lol. When you hit something on a bike, you yourself will be jettisoned - and nudging anything would be just as bad, as the gyroscopic counter would almost certainly end in a bad way. Some moron in charge who's never ridden a bike probably ordered that on there.

Contributing (this is from last year and this year's race was just as good) - imagine running this fast for 50 miles.

I'm not saying these guys aren't bad rear end, running sub 6 minute splits on varied terrain for 50 miles is pretty bad rear end but running ultras and beyond is so loving stupid, like crossfit levels of stupid. You're quite literally killing yourself as you run.

What would make them so useful to wrestling is that if you cut your scalp or forehead it bleeds quite a lot while not being all that dangerous. You'll end up with your head and face covered in blood which will look like a much more dramatic injury than it actually is.

Is it really that bad? I'd be interested to read an article or two. I had a quick look and read one by the Washington Post but it didn't seem too crazy. Is it worse than drinking alcohol, taking soft drugs, or just spending your life moving between seated positions and lying positions?

I'm not trying to be sarcastic or disingenuous or anything, I'd just be interested in quantifying the relative damage.

I'm wondering, too. I mean, your body is going to start cannibalizing itself if you run out of food/fat energy of course, but there are long traditions of hunters who chase deer etc. until the prey collapses from exhaustion.

I had to quit running years ago because my knees just couldn't take it anymore, but I think that was mostly lovely genetics/too much wrestling when I was in high school.

I filmed a few ultras a couple years ago and talked with a lot of runners. During any typical 50-100+ ultra, these people are consuming easily 10,000 calories plus on their run. It's wild to see them at the various rest stops when their crew fuels them up. They're chugging liters of coca-cola, slamming snickers bars, chips, and whole avocados. The snickers bar is seen as the golden fuel of ultra running. Perfect mix of sugar, salt, and fat.

I remembering jogging alongside Kilian Jornet at mile 85 of 100, at around 13,000 feet elevation. I asked him how he was feeling after 85 miles and multiple 14,000ft peaks. "Pretty good man, how about you?" Like he was out for a morning jog. I couldn't keep pace with him for more than an 1/8th of a mile before being totally shot.

Ultra runners are freaks and are usually freaky zen monk-like about their lifestyle. When they're not racing, they eat super clean, live super healthy, and just travel from ultra to ultra, pushing themselves beyond a limit I've never seen and seeing some amazing sights while they're at it.

It's not as bad, it's just different bad. I'm sure there are some genetic freaks out there who can do it and get away with it, but for 99% of the population it's a great way to ruin your ankles, knees, and hips. But if it's what really gets a person through their day/week/life, then go for it. Thus far, the fatality rate of humans is running pretty close to 100%, and it doesn't look like that number's going down any time soon. If running like a maniac makes a person happy, then gently caress it - run.

There is an Irish ultra runner called Eoin Keith, and he effectively doesn't eat before training or during any of his races. Its insane and I can never wrap my head around it.

I was reading his full race report from when he finished 8th in the 246km Spartathlon and all I could think was, nearly 27 hours running and you have barely eaten a thing, how is that even possible? A quick drink here, a little rice pudding there, he was making up places on people because he would barely stop at the aid stations.

I don't know if all the other guys eat 10,000 calories, but I do know that guy is in a whole other world when it comes to fueling for races.

This is similar to Cliff Young, a 61 year old potato farmer, who won the inaugural Sydney to Melbourne UltraMarathon, with a ludicrous shuffling action. He won because whislt everybody else would stop to sleep and eat etc. Cliffy didn't know you were allowed to, and as such just kept shuffling on and on and on through the night.

So a 61 year old untrained potato farmer beat professional athletes who had trained for months, and became a national hero.

He finished the race in 5 days, 15 hours and 4 minutes, about 2 days faster than the previous record. He lived his entire life on his family's 2000 acre sheep farm and he used to round up the sheep on foot, sometimes running for several days in his gumboots.

Here's Cliffy going for a jog in his boots:
