Or at least its some kind of very flexible mat on a poo poo load of springs, that isn't a conventional wooden surface. It's also hard to see in the footage but he drops him after the impact so the guy getting slammed isn't taking that to the shoulder/neck. Edit: If you want to see an example, here is a similar spot in CZW onto a "real" ring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSuJlRPshoM&t=1214s Watch for the flex on impact. Traditional rings rarely buck that much and are designed to absorb the impact across a wide surface to maintain a "realistic" image, when they flex hard they don't do so in that shape and also are designed not to toss the other dude ten feet away from a strong bounce.

Christ, this is giving me like, the opposite of nostalgia for my highschool backyard fed. I don't think we ever did anything this dangerous though -- we knew we were poo poo at wrestling so there weren't any high risk moves aside from the one guy who took it way too seriously that did a 450 splash off the fence as his finisher. I think everyone's moveset was like 3/4ths awful looking DDTs because that was the only thing everyone could deliver or sell with any proficiency.

Babylon Astronaut posted:Aren't WWE rings notoriously stiff? I'm curious why or how that is or if it's just a legend. They definitely were super stiff for a long time, but in Mick Foley's first book he talks about how they changed them up to be more forgiving. This turned out to actually be worse for him, because the bouncing accelerated the wear and tear on his knees, especially during his spot where he charges an opponent sitting down in a corner to deliver a running

OneThousandMonkeys posted:I recall from reading that it was the WCW rings that were notoriously stiff to work on. They got better with time. Most of the places built on old school rasslin promotions had pretty stiff rings. Mainly because when your roster favors more brawler hoss types who don't do a lot of high flying moves you wan't a really stiff ring that's going to shudder forcefully when a dude gets hit to the mat with a lariat. A lot of high flyers prefer the rings with really even distribution of force because it means you trade taking stronger hits to your body for having a more stable landing that's less likely to break your heels. The ultimate version of this is rings where you have the plywood top sitting on a slightly compressible foot thick block of cell foam. Some lucha and hardcore rings are built like that because they can absorb sharp and hard hits without flexing. A lot of other hardcore rings tend towards the excessively bendy kind because the huge dent looks really impressive and the FWUH-CHUNK noise the top makes when it flexes back into place sounds really awesome on the mic under the ring. With backyarders it's really anything goes. The most common is tires, which have been a staple of small promotions and venues since cars have been a thing. They're cheap, flexible and durable and they do their job pretty drat well. They obviously make it hard to mic your ring, but that's hardly an issue for backyarding.

HOTLANTA MAN posted:I expected Remember the Name and Last Resort and By God that's what I got. I literally burst out laughing when Last Resort came on. Dudes, it's been like FIFTEEN YEARS since that song came out. "AND A DRAWPKICK ONTO THE PLAYHAYOUS BY MACKZILLA!" said without a hint of irony and a completely straight face. I think that's peak backyard wrestling commentary. I laughed my ever loving rear end off when they referred to The Bulldozer as "2/3rds of Execution". I know what they meant but holy unintentional comedy. SamuraiFoochs fucked around with this message at 09:50 on Jan 25, 2015 |

The best part is how out of breath the kid is through all the commentary. It's pretty obvious he was the fat friend that was too unathletic to get in the ring/would have put them over the weight rating of the trampoline so they had him do commentary. Edit: they have a Native American Champion. How does that even work, is it only people with offsive native stereotype gimmicks that can hold it?

Their wrestling is awful but it's strangely refreshing to see backyarders trying to crib modern mainstream WWE stuff as opposed to ECW/CZW type hardcore deathmatches. bobkatt013 posted:I still think that ESW is the prime Yardtard fed. One of their Dad's had to have owned some kind of hardware supply business or something because they went through thousands of dollars of light tubes, sometimes just literal crates of tube lighting.

Please tell me there is some Aussie backyard fed that has done a show during swooping season that involves wrestlers being savaged by birds.
