Comments Thread For: Logan Paul Says Wrestling Is Harder Than Boxing, Eyeing WWE Title After Boxing Match

[juggernaut666]

What is is with people reframing what is actually said? I said wrestlers, did I say Logan Paul? No, so why are you replying what he isn’t doing? No shhhhh he isn’t, he’s not a wrestler, he’s a ticket seller making appearances. Bro, get hit with chairs, land on your neck, break a knee. Matter of fact show me one single boxer to ever boxer missing half a their foot, with a broken back or neck, wrestlers don’t have the same protections boxers do, they don’t go through a board, they don’t get time off. They either wrestle hurt or get cut. People want to argue what cannot be argued, there are plenty of documentaries on the abuse wrestlers put their bodies through. Wrestling is more than wwe, there are plenty of small time wrestling companies where folks are paid as low as $20 a fight and have zero to fall back on. Boxers deal with head injuries and brain trauma no doubt about it, but they aren’t taking blunt force trauma all day every day, even in training. They get time off, plenty of it to heal. A wrestler hits a mat at times with the force of being hit by a car. Try doing that for a living and tell me how much softer that is than boxing.

Logan paul is the subject bc he said what he does in wrestling is harder …so I won’t entertain this conversation further . Logan Paul isn’t getting hit with chairs either ..smh. You can’t argue with me bc I grew up on those wrestling matches in fact I had a third cousin fight Andre the Giant ina bar fight ..if the forum wasn’t such douche bags I’d post the story he put on face book a month ago …….but you guys lost that opportunity it was really a cool story .

Hulk Hogan took very few bumps, he never did any aerial or high impact moves. His matches were always the same slow pace. His massive popularity was due to his charisma, not his wrestling abilities (very lacking) I don't think his health issues are the prime results of his wrestling matches, more to do with his steroid usage. Guys who do a lot of high impact and aerial moves are the ones who are damaged the most form their matches, Benoit and the Dynamite Kid are probably the poster boys for destroying their bodies with steroids and a high impact style of wrestling.

Hogan worked alot in his younger days in Japan and awa where he he did alot more than what he did in WWE and wcw but still he wrestled thousands of matches even if he wasn't doing crazy high impact stuff he was still taking bumps and they add up over the years.. also people talk about his wrestling ability but just because he wasn't technically great like a Bret hart doesn't mean he wasnt a good wrestler because a wrestlers job is to evoke emotion from the crowd and work of that emotion and Hogan was great at that. Wrestling isnt just about doing big spots it's storytelling

It's true there is acutally former wrestler now who was in the WWE for a couple years who is now a neurologist who studies CTE because of his own experiences because he retired because he was getting regular concussions because of wrestling so he wanted to know about the lasting damage that can cause and he's shown the damage there brains take because alot of guys would wrestle on with concussions and get more and more of them to the point it destroyed them and just totally changed the way they functioned in everyday life. But they didnt wanna stop wrestling because they didnt wanna lose the spot they was in on shows and it effect there income

As a practitioner of both boxing and karate, your post is absolutely on point. Each martial art has its own methodology , punching/striking/blocking techniques as well as power absorbing dynamics. Never got to practice wrestling(Greco) or JJ but couple buddies of mine do and they always stated its very demanding. Totally different world down there.

i hear they all get their joints ***ed up. even guys who never competed and just practice sparring get wrecked

Couple of those doing sparring like you said, he even Required surgery and therapy to fix some of those. But the mofo keeps on rolling still lol. Real passion for the sport.
