How do wrestlers bleed? How real are the injuries? WWE's darkest secrets revealed 2

#2 Don’t the moves performed hurt the Wrestlers?

 

The general consensus amongst fans is that the ring is safely padded in such a way, that none of the wrestlers are hurt in the process. To an extent this is true, but then again just like the use of weapons, the secret lies in how the wrestler takes the impact from the blow, rather than relying on the mattress to cushion them. Years of hard work and training allow them to become impervious to damage in the ring.
Wrestling rings may vary in size, with most measuring between 14 and 18 feet on each side. WWE uses a 20-foot ring, while the past promotions of World Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling used an 18-foot ring.
The white mat has solid wood underneath, with a spring to give suspension and absorb some of the impact. The turn buckles are padded but sometimes left exposed by heel (bad characters) wrestlers. Also a microphone is placed under the ring to amplify the impact
