Even Cirque du Soleil carries more risk of death. The corpse removal process is seamless enough that the show continues.
- harimau777 2y agoFor what it's worth: As a martial artist, the hits WWE fighters take are mind boggling. Part of learning martial arts is learning how to safely take a fall. As far as I can see, a lot of the falls and hits that people are taking in WWE are the sort that you can't really take "safely". As far as I can tell, they are often just ignoring the pain and doing the best they can to minimize the damage.
- tumsfestival 2y agoYou really don't know anything about pro wrestling if that's what you think. The moves they perform might not have the intention hurting, but they're both dangerous and painful, there's a lot of skill involved to not end up in a hospital, not to mention some of the less spectacular moves come directly from olympic wrestling and it's variants. It's a performative spectacle, but it doesn't make it any less dangerous or skillful, saying otherwise is just being ignorant.

I was shocked to hear this and looked up a Wikipedia article [0]. Given their reaction when a performer died (abrupt stoppage of the show with full refunds), I think you're making this up.
