The big sporting news right now is the situation with Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin having to have his heart resuscitated twice after collapsing on the field following a tackle on Bengals receiver Tee Higgens. And while it is expected Hamlin will survive, the topic of safety in the game is again at the forefront of fans’ minds. However, it isn’t only football where terrible injuries occur, and AEW commentator Taz has advised pro wrestlers to limit impact to the chest, noting how the business managed to learn and moved away from unprotected shots to the head.
Blows to the head, especially chair shots, used to be coming place in pro wrestling. Nevertheless, since the Benoit tragedy, they’ve all but been phased out, showing the business can evolve. In fact, seeing any unprotected shot nowadays is quite jarring and takes fans out of the match as concern for the wrestler’s health takes over. Therefore perhaps Taz’s request is doable, though it may take a tragedy inside the wrestling ring for some wrestlers to take it seriously.
