The severe violent nature of professional wrestling has always mesmerized audiences worldwide. There are not many differences between those who lust horror and those who desire wrestling. It’s our primal urges that make us want to watch the forbidden. Now, most of us would never want to watch a murder or a real life tragedy, but if we know in the back of our heads that it’s not real, it makes it acceptable.
When horror fans watched Leatherface terrorize teenagers in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Michael Myers stalk babysitters in Halloween, they suspended disbelief for two hours to satisfy that need to see gore and violence. When the movie is over, most people go home and live a somewhat normal life. The same can be said about the professional wrestling fan.
When you go to a professional wrestling event, you know the athletes are not really trying to hurt each other. You suspend disbelief to watch all the carnage take place inside the squared circle. Wrestling can be much more real than any horror movie and that’s the attraction for it’s blood thirsty fans.
In decades past, watching a wrestler bleed could be written off as, “that’s just fake blood, like they use in horror movies”. Once the curtain was lifted on many truths with the industry, the chilling discovery was found out that wrestlers slice their own skin open with razors for the ultimate touch of realism.
We are a society that loves to push boundaries, never knowing when enough is enough. When a wrestling match becomes a death match, where are the boundaries? How much blood letting is enough? How many ways can the human body be pummeled with chairs, tables, broken glass, barbed wire, thumbtacks, and variety of other hurt instruments?
We’ve seen the best bruisers answer this question through the years. Those who witnessed Cactus Jack vs. Eddie Gilbert, Atushi Onita vs Tarzan Goto, Terry Funk vs Sabu, and Abdullah The Butcher vs Bruiser Brody know the answer.
Generation after generation, we thrive on pushing the limits. Terrifier 3 ushered in a new guard in the world of horror. This was proof that the indie films can topple the studio films by pushing the limits. The same can be said for the indie wrestling company who faces the corporate juggernauts. It’s time to push the limits once again with SEVERE VIOLENT NATURE WRESTLNG.
