7 Giant Lies Told By Wrestling That Will Definitely Kill You

7. Shaking Off 10 Punches In 10 Seconds Is Easy

Time for a quick news bulletin: if this ever happens to you, you're not returning to your feet, encouraging a live crowd to cheer and then launching a babyface comeback. No, at the very least, you're headed for the nearest hospital and not eating solids for a good few months.

People, even the hardest ones, don't take 10 stiff punches or forearms to the head without covering up and expect to be fine two minutes later. In fact, even the toughest of UFC fighters would probably advise against it; punches to the head are, shockingly, quite lethal, and 10 of the buggers could result in death.

In wrestling, it's an every day occurrence to see someone smacked upside the head multiple times without suffering a concussion, cut or even serious bruising. Ground and pound has come over from MMA, and that apparently makes it OK to full-force punch others in the head as a transitional spot.

Traditional wrestling doesn't get a pass here either. Remember that old corner spot, during which the crowd counts along as the babyface dings a hated heel with 10 strikes to the temple? That'd be dangerous as hell in reality.

One punch is bad enough, but 10? Forget about it.
