Definitely not the case, he literally let him do it. Basically holding his own hand in place. ![](https://i.imgur.com/wx2vKie.jpg) Yikes is all I can say Just reminds me of something Cornette once said when talking about how the boys hurt each other for real in front zero crowd, when they used to sellout putting on a fake fight "who are the marks?"

Well, we have identified a couple of villages' idiots. What's next? Somebody losing a limb? This is beyond stupid. These jokes took Arn Anderson's promos to heart a little TOO literally

and this time of stuff is why I don't watch death match wrestling it's a gloried blood bath with no wrestling involved It depends on the workers and the environment. Big Japan would have barbed wire board matches where a dude would be irished whipped into a board propped up in the corner, jump, springboard off the board, and do a backflip. They worked an actual match in the environment. There's also been exploding barbed wire matches that rank among the most emotional matches you can find.

Read an article about method acting once that said the ultimate outcome of it would be some Daniel Day Lewis type being willing to permanently maim or kill themselves for the sake of a role.
This is kind of like that, but at least DDL's corpse would have an Oscar to show for it.

The dude who got his finger hacked off has a YT channel and had a behind the scenes vid from Day 1 of the cup (not finger chopping day). There was like literally 15 people in the crowd. There was a bunch of dumb spots. But they did at least have a medical person for the wrestlers.

The fact that this was a receipt for a boxcutter stabbing is what's killing me. Like these dudes have jobs and lives that this is just a part of now. Well, they're alive (for now?) and as for jobs? I kind of doubt it.

People that mock IWA-MS forget IWA Deep South exists and is so much more shindy. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/rFg2y9Ry/1-AAC1-FAF-3-C3-E-4-AC6-86-D6-0-E83154-A0-FED.gif) I know it's kind of a joke post, but I'm going to have to disagree. despite being so horribly run the promotion turned into a massive joke, IWA: Mid-South is still the place where a shit ton of wrestlers got their first real exposure that led them to go on to bigger and better things. despite their many, many, many flaws, you have to give them that. Deep South on the other hand...

I don't follow deathmatch wrestling at all, so I'm curious what makes good deathmatch wrestling versus bad deathmatch wrestling? Besides obvious things like amputation. My analogy is that a good Deathmatch should follow the same principles as a horror movie in that a good horror movie should be first and foremost a good film with added horror elements. As soon as a horror film becomes just a collection of gore scenes, it renders it virtually pointless. This is a really good analogy. Comparing wrestling to films, deathmatches being horror, I can see easily good ones versus bad ones. Good ones that use the added elements of a deathmatch in service to the match and story and psychology, versus bad ones that are just high risk spots and blood that serves no end.

So, if IWA:MS has a pizza oven to be proud of, does IWA:DS have a rusted-out Weber charcoal grill from 1989?

I'm a deathmatch wrestling fan and these guys are a bunch of dopes. IWA DS is a joke amongst the deathmatch community with how amateurish they are. I don't follow deathmatch wrestling at all, so I'm curious what makes good deathmatch wrestling versus bad deathmatch wrestling? Besides obvious things like amputation. A wise man once told me that if you see a light blub/tube it's a bad match. That advice has only steered me wrong like twice, ever.

Good lord, that wasn't even an entertaining spot or anything. Just violence for violence's sake...
I saw the photographs of the aftermath, and this is truly just heinous. Pretty clearly an agreed upon "spot" by everyone involved, but absolutely heinous. Basically live action body modification. The problem is that I didn't even know IWA-DS was a thing that existed before this, and this spot got it some tiny semblance of national notoriety. So, I worry that instead of realizing that this is bad press, they'll try and "push the envelope" even more. I just don't know where the envelope in professional wrestling can go beyond a guy voluntarily letting another guy sever the tip of his finger.

Part of me wonders if this is all ultimately due to the lack of a wrestler's union and the inability of the industry to regulate itself and watch over dubious promotions and wrestling schools.

My guy agreed to lose a bit of his finger for like $20(which he may not have gotten) and people roasting this idea on the internet.
Take the biggest L in a while, everyone involved.

Eaton's body went through a lot problems in the last few years before his passing and Cornette himself talked about Harley Race's body being a mass of chipped bones and other wear and tear. I get what you are saying, Cornette did blow out both his knees too. However what are these guys getting out of this? Are they ever going to be big stars like Race or have long careers? Or be talked about by their peers with the same reverence and respect as Bobby Eaton? Doubt it.

Or be talked about by their peers with the same reverence and respect as Bobby Eaton? Doubt it. No, but it's a different world. And, while I gave two prominent examples, the point would work with any hundred or so lesser names from that period who ended up broken down physically and financially vulnerable. All those wrestlers who died of drug and alcohol abuse? A lot of that was coping with the pain of wrestling in a ring and the demands of the road schedule. And, yes, the older wrestlers weren't maimed like this but how many of them struggled with concussion problems? Who among them have artifical hips or have hepatitis due to ring conditions or have suffered broken backs and necks? Maybe most damning of all is that a lot of these dubious promoters and barely trained wrestlers do what they do because they don't have experienced promoters, teachers, and veterans to dissuade them from things like this because they are few and far between. The industry ground them up and spat them out.

I have to wonder if this could have taken place were wrestling still regulated the way it once was and promoters needed licenses.
