No. My thoughts are muddy and muddled and wooly an' stuff.
The first thing that I wanted to know is whether the lady was in any danger of being hurt.

You do know that wrestling is staged?

 

[Nicholas]

Sorry your thoughts are all muddled. Do you really want to know what happened to the lady?

Muddled=normal for me
If that guy laid a finger on her...

 

[Nicholas]

/Wonders how they pull that off.
How can one wrestler be certain that their opponent is not injured not hurt when they fling them against the ropes and they fall over when they bounce off? Do wrestlers still slap each other in the face?

Probably a light handshake to congratulate her, and the team went for drinks afterwards to celebrate a successful evening. That's what I imagine.

How do they pull off movies? Theatre? etc

Stuntmen?

Theatre...wow...when last did I go to one of those? I have seen two productions in the last 20 years, in in Cape Town, the other in Camps Bay.

i would have turned down the fight. I'd be mangled.

Quite big file for only 60 pages.

There's a script written beforehand in regards to how they should act etc., so you should know what condition the person will be in.

I take it that the wrestlers can alter the script if they see that their opponent has fallen badly.

It's unlike boxing, where people seem to be hell-bent on murdering or brain damaging each other.

Just like stuntmen wrestlers practice their craft for many years. That may be a reason they are referred to as Professional wrestlers.

The little I know about wrestling is stuck in the 1980s when guys like Giant Haystacks were around.

Aaaaah.......

I wonder whether self-help programmes, and the pop psychology that go along with them, are something along the lines of a first-world problem: there are so many people who are too busy just trying to survive, let alone waste time ruminating on creating a vision board or bucket list or whatever the fad at any given time may be. Is it a matter of having too much time and money on one's hands? it looks as though there is no shortage of people ready to exploit others by selling tickets to conferences, courses, videos, and books.

Wonder if that's headed towards filling the dams in the EC

 

[Nicholas]

We need that weather system to collect more water and move further east.

This reminds me of East London too many years ago. We ended up up with an annual rainfall of over 1000mm.
