TNA Wrestler Bully Ray spoke out regarding hardcore wrestling, Concussions, Chris Benoit and much more in the second half of his
UK Sun interview. Below is a quick recap.
Comparing hardcore wrestling to a dangerous circus act:"You're on the trapeze, it's the circus, it's a show. You could use a net, right? "But it's a hell of a lot more intriguing if there is no net there and there is the possibility that they could fall off that trapeze and splat on the floor. I will take bigger risks when the risk is warranted. If the story merits the bigger risk, I will do it. I will try not to do anything just for the sake of doing it. I don't do things to get a 'pop' I guess that's the jargon that the 'smarter' wrestling fan will use I do things that make sense in the story that I'm trying to tell. Chairshots to the head, barbed wire, thumbtacks, fire been there, done that. I learned how to do it from the best Terry Funk, Cactus Jack, Atsushi Onita in Japan you are learning how to do this stuff the right way."On concussions:"Concussions are definitely a big deal. More research has been done on concussions."
On the double murder and subsequent suicide of wrestler Chris Benoit:"Personally, do I think Chris Benoit did what he did because he had a concussion? Absolutely not. That's my opinion."
