ÚLTIMA HORA: John Cena lesionado e falhará a WrestleMania

CChris escreveu:O Panorama da WWE para a Mania não está muito bom... a quantidade de lesões que está a afetar a companhia é absurda. Mas isto é apenas fruto do estilo que eles andam a praitcar. Fazer os lutadores andarem a viajar 300 dias por ano e a lutar a quantidade de vezes que lutam não é bom para ninguem. Ou mudam a forma como abordam os house shows e as road trips ou isto vai ser assim.

There's a REASON there's more in-ring wrestling related injuries today. You'd be surprised how using MORE psychology could protect your body

If I'm the BAD GUY because I want wrestlers to have LONG careers and make as much $$$ as possible--then I'll be the BAD guy.-no problem.

Question to ponder: Why is anyone jumping to the OUTSIDE of the ring, when the object is to pin your opponent INSIDE the ring?

The change in training methods, focusing on heavy power lifts and heavy Olympic lifting by WWE performers has resulted in a huge increase in shoulder injuries, with Randy Orton and Dustin Runnels the key ones not participating in those kinds of workouts, like Cena, Cesaro, Hideo Itami, Mojo Rawley, Clayton Jack and Sami Zayn among others.

Cena, who is almost 39, has been going for personal records on lifts like the bench press, squat (which is almost surely not a factor in this) and snatch lifts over the past year. There is a strong belief in heavy training using the complete body today as opposed to the lighter isolation movements that most older wrestlers had done historically, except the ones who still competed in power lifts. But the training methods that are supposed to guard against injury seem to be increasing the injury rate significantly, particularly shoulder injuries. It is likely a combination of that and the bumping.
