What do you think of BackYard Wrestling?

IrelandsPatriot

I for one think It is incredibly dangerous. A friend of mine joined one called 'UBW' and not one wrestler was trained. There videos were removed from youtube because of their violent antics and my friend banged his head off a ladder in a match and now suffers from 'cluster headaches' also known as suicicde headaches for their intesne pain. Afterwards, I tried to start a campaign against this backyard 'fed' and I was austracised and hated on for trying to do what I thought was the right thing. Now this organisation has resported in using racist comments against me because I am Irish, if anyone wants to see it it is in their blogs here http://ubwonline.ning.com/profiles/blog/list)
Bottom line is, what do you think of racism and does anyone have any advice on how I should handle this? I was very frustrated and I made this video in response to UBW, I know it wasn't entirely mature but I was livid at how this organisation is able to exist.
Thank you

its idiocy and in no way can we promote such a thing on boards where impressionable idiots can read about it.

Picture-only reply? Facepalm? Demotivational picture?

I should start a campaign against using internet memes. It's not funny. Just makes you look like a 10-year old American. LOL EPIC FAIL DUUD! C'mon, you're better than that.

Good for you OP for taking the time out to highlight the safety aspect. It's an unpopular opinion, but you care more for them than the other 'wrestlers' do.

Anyway, BackYard Feds are dangerous because untrained adolescents are battering each other un-supervised. There's nothing you can do about it. They're just a cheaper version of the indy workers who do this for a 'living'. You can't stop idiots doing stupid things and hurting themselves, whether they're wrestling fans or not. Just don't approve of it or help them out.

I'll also come clean in that myself and my friends do a wrestling show maybe every two months out in Meath. We shoot promos, vignettes and wrestle in a bouncy castle. We don't do any dangerous stunts or batter each other with light bulbs or any of that garbage. It's just for ourselves and safety is our top priority.

It annoys me that these BYFedders justify themselves by saying 'we're just fans, and we're the fans that pay wrestlers' or something like that. That's an invalid argument because wrestlers (and wrestling companies) want them as their fans. It's the danger associated with their activities -- and the subsequent backlash legitimate wrestlers receive -- that they're concerned with.

Basically you can't do much, but tell people that are interested in backyard wrestling about your friend's story, they might think twice afterwards. If they still wanna risk injury, then let them. If you're feeling sneaky, maybe pass a video link on to their mom. That's pretty underhanded and kinda crosses a line.

The irony of you accusing others of sounding like 12 year old americans before going on to say you and your friends wrestle in a bouncy castle is not lost on me.

To the OP. You need to turn this into an angle. Create a character, something like Paddy "the Oppressed" O'Doherty. Play on your Irishness and seek retribution against those who have racially abused you. Your catchphrase could be "bejaysus and beggorrah" and your finishing move could be smashing a sliothar into their face with a hurley from 10 yards away.

Worst thread I have ever seen in my life.

Some young lad cutting a promo on you tube on a fed no one's ever heard of?

Can I start a thread with Gerard C cutting a promo on Conor Hurley in that case?

"I come from Dublin and thats enough for me to beat the **** outa you ya little c*nt." LOL. You're gonna be fair embarrassed about this in a few years mate, seriously.

flahavaj
