I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

I think a big part of the issues with wrestlers destroying their bodies is not due to big moves/matches. Although obviously getting thrown off a cage isn't nice, good, or fun.

I think it is the daily grind of a WWE wrestler, or an indie worker doing the rounds. Insomuch as throwing yourself at the ground once won't hurt you if you know how to do it properly. But doing that same action of throwing yourself against the ground 4 times a week, 50 weeks a year has a cumulative effect.

Much like, (and I may be very very wrong about this), I think there were studies proving that there were less concussions in bare knuckle boxing rings than in modern rings. Because in modern rings with gloves, people get punched with less force, but more often. Causing more brain injury/bruising than being punched less, but with more force.
