One major regulation would be the permanent banning of all weapons. I mean have you ever actually thought about the use of weapons in wrestling? Where outside of a ring is it okay to hit someone with a baseball bat, sledgehammer, steel chair, guitar, ladder, brass knuckles, etc?

If anyone actually did manage to smuggle in so much as a wrench and use it in a match, they would not only be banned from ever wrestling again, but would probably be looking at some serious jail time too. After all there's no setting for "stun" on a sledgehammer.

It's true that the use of weapons in pro wrestling does require a lot of suspension of disbelief, but it's one of the crazier aspects that we fans all love. Making wrestling real would put an end to that immediately.
