10 Reasons For Increased Injuries To WWE Superstars

3. The Road

Life on the road is a big risk and a danger itself, but when considering the additional pressures already put on professional wrestlers, the road plays a big factor in wrestlers' bodies breaking down. Many times life on the road is thought of as the same thing as not having enough time off, but they are two different problems in this case. Road life is difficult and not conducive to always being in the best shape. Constantly on the move, cramming into rental cars, taxi cabs, airplanes, and buses to get to hotels that feature perhaps smaller beds, unclean foods, and multiple interruptions is not exactly a recipe for injury-free, healthy living. That's on top of the fact that many pro-wrestlers are not your average-sized human being and find it difficult to function in the 'normal' world with 'normal sized' facilities. If WWE superstars only wrestled from the same location every week and never traveled, they would still be at risk for injuries because of the many other reasons covered in this article, but a big part of their lifestyle would be improved because life on the road would be eliminated. Unfortunately, constant traveling is another sports-entertainment affliction that comes with the territory and will never go away.
