for anyone who doesn\'t think wrestling results in pain, i refer you to Shane MacMahon vs Kurt Angle, any of Terry Funks matches, or Cactus Jack. Also look at the injuries suffered, no other sport has as many injuries per athlete as wrestling. Also look at the damage that it does to you later in life, most old wrestlers can barely walk, look at Stu Hart.
As for the punches, they still hit eachother, they just don\'t clinch their fist as hard, so it doesn\'t hurt AS BAD, but your still gett\'n tagged a bit.
