Backyard wrestling, and professional wrestling are not comparable trades. I know this, because I have been involved in both.(Having both wrestled with yardies, and being properly trained to wrestle "professionally".) There are tricks to every one of those moves. And yes, they are still painful, but, those tricks make them considerably less so, and often times save lives. As a side note, the mats for actual rings, are quite soft. Lol.
