I know it’s typically frowned upon in the industry, but I’m not ashamed to bring up my history as a backyard wrestler. Also, I’m not actually in the industry. I just write about it from time to time. So, I guess those rules don’t really apply to me. Anyway….sure, it probably led to me getting a concussion every time I sneeze and not being able to stand up for longer than five minutes without feeling pain in my lower back and knees. But, full disclosure, I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Throwing backyard powerbombs and chokeslams around – man, those were some of the finest days of my life.
I’m not sure what that says about me, but what I’m saying is that I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for untrained amateurs potentially putting their lives in great risk for no good fucking reason whatsoever.

Oh, wait – this isn’t actual backyard wrestling. Shit, coulda fooled me. It looks like someone wound back the tapes of our old SHWF days (that’s Stoney’s House Wrestling Federation for those of you unaware). This is just two dudes in Daisy Dukes and cowboy boots fuckin’ around in the backyard. Know how I know? No one in their right mind would use a table like that in their backyard wrestling fed. It either has to look like a table The Dudley Boyz would throw someone through, or it’s a piece of drywall laying across two chairs (that was our preferred method).
Anyway, these dudes definitely lose points for counting out loud. Come on, guys. At least show some semblance of professionalism. But, as for execution, it’s about as good as it’s going to get. That’s a good clean bump. But since, like I said, these are untrained amateurs, you can actually see a piece of this kid’s soul leave his body when he hits the ground.
Yeah, maybe you want the table to break your fall. Maybe that’s something you should practice. If your boy has any wherewithal, he sees or feels that table tip over. But, since he looks three sheets to the wind, and his back isn’t the one hitting the ground, he does not give a shit.
Still, style points for the bump, style points for the outfits, and style points for the crowd reaction. A+ pop – these clips will never grow old. And no, I don’t give a shit that I’m technically advocating for more senseless violence and helping to perpetuate idiots like these getting internet famous.
