When we say “brutal,” we mean dramatic. When we say “fight,” we mean choreographed masterpiece. Women’s pro wrestling has delivered some of the most insane, over\u2011the\u2011top, ridiculous “violence” you will ever see \u2013 and it’s all fake, which makes it even better. From trash can beatdowns to tables exploding, here are five moments that looked absolutely deadly but were actually just really good acting.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Trash Can Massacre (WWE, 2020)<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Two female wrestlers decided that a regular match wasn’t enough. They brought out steel trash cans, kendo sticks, and a ladder, then proceeded to “destroy” each other for 15 glorious minutes. One woman took a trash can lid to the head so hard that it bent in half \u2013 and then she got up and finished the match. Real brutality? No. Pure entertainment? Yes.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Table That Refused to Break (NXT, 2018)<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In a particularly awkward moment, a wrestler powerbombed her opponent through a table \u2013 except the table didn’t break. She just bounced off it and lay there pretending to be unconscious while the audience laughed. The referee had to stomp on the table to finally snap it in half. It was the most “brutal” fake injury in wrestling history.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Scaffold Drop That Took 5 Minutes (TNA, 2009)<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Two women climbed a 15\u2011foot scaffold, wobbled for an eternity, then one gently pushed the other onto a giant crash pad below. The “victim” landed so softly that she immediately popped up to check if her hair was okay. The announcers screamed like it was a murder. It was pure camp.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Barbed Wire Boob Shot (Independent Circuit, 2021)<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A wrestler brought out a barbed wire bat, swung wildly, and “caught” her opponent across the chest. The victim sold it like she had been shot, rolling around holding her chest while the barbed wire bat was clearly made of plastic. She later posted an Instagram story of herself laughing about it backstage.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Exploding Ring That Fizzled (AEW, 2021)<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The main event of a pay\u2011per\u2011view ended with a ring that was supposed to EXPLODE in a massive fireball. Instead, a few tiny sparks popped out like a broken sparkler. The two women lay motionless in the ring, pretending to be knocked out, while the audience chanted “AEW! AEW!” in pure disbelief. It was the least brutal explosion in history \u2013 and we loved every second.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
