		 A bump occurs whenever a wrestler hits the mat or the arena floor after receiving a move from his/her opponent. It can also refer to hitting the floor as a result of a missed aerial move. Every wrestler is trained to take bumps while avoiding injury, though they are not always successful in emerging unhurt. Some wrestlers are more willing to take bumps than others, and some even base their entire careers on taking massive bumps.
