Why do so many wrestlers get injured more ?

Question

My Brother watches wrestling , and i have notice that there are a lot of injuries , my older brother and cousin said about ten years ago that there was not as many injuries as there is today yeah they did get injured but not as frequently , whats going on , why are there so many injuries

Answer 1

Some of these "injuries" are just excuses to get some much needed time off. 10 years ago they were able to seek certain pharmaceutical aids in performing through real injuries that are not an option in modern WWE.

Answer 2

Cause it's wrestling or maybe they want to take some time off.

Answer 3

wwe are making up so much c**p storylines that they cant stop getting injuries

Answer 4

Some of those injuries are just works, which means they are only used as excuses to get time off, but of course, the number of legit injuries outnumber the worked ones.

As I see it, there are four main reasons for this:

1. Their time on the road; the WWE wrestlers work 7 days a week and around 350 days a year with VERY LITTLE time off. They land somewhere one day to wrestle and the next day they're on another flight to some far-off state or country with very little time to recuperate from their injuries.

2. Age and number of years in wrestling; the older you are and the more number of years you've spent literally and figuratively breaking your back for your sport will really take a toll on your body and heighten the chance that you will get injured.

3. Diet and exercise; despite a physically demanding sport, wrestlers do not often do anything outside of working out in order to keep in shape; many wrestlers smoke and even more of them drink. Also I'm quite sure that there are wrestlers out there who barely even train.

4. Steroids; I have read somewhere that even though your muscles grow bigger if you take steroids, they also become weaker which is why people like Batista and Triple H who are known steroid-takers are more prone to injury.

Answer 5
