NXT claims another knee

That sucks, from what little I'd seen of her she seemed pretty cool. I wonder if they'll ever reflect on the massive amount of knee injuries that come out of NXT and think about changing their training style.*

*I don't actually wonder this. I know they won't.

I bet it would be cheaper in the long run to just give their wrestlers health insurance instead of paying for procedures outright.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Somebody stop Tony Khan before there are no knees left. Curse you TK!

Health insurance is for employees not independent contractors, silly

If they did that, the talent would have even more of a case in a lawsuit against being contractors and any other non-wrestler contractor they have would have a discrimination case if they weren’t also offered health insurance.

What is it that nxt does that makes their training so hard on their knees and is it actually needed to learn to be a wrestler or stay in shape to be a wrestler?

In this case it probably isn't the training as much as the acrobatic stuff they are having poorly trained wrestlers do. Like, the gifs of the women in NXT doing all sorts of high spots kind of clunkily all scream knee injury, people were saying this when they started getting a lot of hype, and it happened quickly.

I came here to chew bubblegum and quote 'They Live', and I'm... at an impasse.
If they want to avoid prejudice, they should put a title card with the writer before each new storyline, like cartoons. We come back from a snickers ad and see “Presenting: the Gulak Archipelago.” The best part is we’ll get a ton of these, with Vince tearing up the script every other week.

Some work friends who don't watch wrestling, but vaguely remember some big 80s names, asked me about Hulk Hogan today. Like "is he still alive". And then I tried to explain to increasingly horrified looks about how Hulk kinda turned out to be a little bit racist as gently caress.

Apparently they do a lot of heavy lifting that puts undue pressure on joints especially the ones you take bumps on like shoulders and whelp

Did you explain to them that the reason we found out he was racist was on a sex tape where he was banging his friend's wife and whining about being bloated?

From my understanding it's because the performance center doesn't tailor their workouts and training to individuals, it's all the same thing for everyone, and that same thing is endless amounts of drills drills drills over and over again, the kind of training and working out that puts heavy strain on your body.

Honestly it's a miracle they don't even more injuries than they already do.
