Truth About Wrestling

(I originally posted this on g+ about hour ago (last edit time) and it disappeared. I mean i can see it on my computer when i'm signed in but can't on the other computer where i'm not. I doubled the post, it showed briefly on the other computer then it disappeared again. So i finally pasted it here as a blog post to see what happens.)

Talking about Chyna and wrestling. Anybody wants to know which is the main trick in the so called wrestling which is actually an entirely staged carefully scripted circus act?

The main trick is the floor. The floor is a trampoline either on shock absorbers or pneumatic jacks, the sort they used until about 10 years ago a lot in lowriders. https://www.google.com/search?q=lowrider&source=lnms&tbm=vid

Do yourself an experiment. Go to your car and push the hood or fender down using your hand near the headlights or taillights. You will see you can push the car down several inches. When you release it you will see it will come back in a controlled way, without much oscillation, which is absorbed by of course the shock absorbers installed inside the 4 springs next to each wheel. Actually the shock absorbers are cylinders filled with a gas that passes through a valve which opens wide when your car hits a bump then closes and won't let the car oscilate too much on the springs because that would create discomfort. If your car didn't have shock absorbers and be only on springs you would jump on your sit all the time like popcorn in the popcorn machine.

Lowriders are cars with modified suspension which have compressed air hooked to the shock absorbers or air cylinders installed near those. One can control how much air goes into those and raise or lower each corner of the car separately. Close to this concept is active suspension in luxury cars which actually moves the wheels up and down in the same way but following the street's irregularities measured with a sensor ensuring a very smooth ride.

The same with the "wrestling" floor. The floor is like a trampoline with springs and shock absorbers like your car though with valves that can be controlled. Normally when they walk and "fight" looks stiff. But when they throw themselves the floor it moves down like any car if you pressed it down normalizing the G forces to acceptable levels. The simpler versions are passive that is they only have car's shock absorbers and move up and down a couple of times when they throw themselves to the ground like any car when pushed down. The more sophisticated floors could be computer controlled like in an active car suspensions and will first follow than springing back up to normal level only once, without any oscillation.

Normally is really hard to see, it happens very fast and the synchronized downward motion of the floor is covered by the ever moving ropes of the fighting ring. But if they would throw themselves on a solid floor the way it is suggested they would probably stay there and not able to get up without a stretcher, then wear whole body casts for the next few months.

Here is an example with the floor moving up and down a couple of times with of course Chyna a few months before her disappearance.

In wrestling you never see a bruise on their body. Even after they punch each other in the face like ten times in a fight. Because they don't even touch the other when they "punch" them pretty much like in semi-contact martial arts. And the guy who's hit simulate a well synched response motion.

I'm not saying it's easy or anybody could do it. But it's not what they pretend it is.
