I train in martial arts, we get hit and we bruise and scar. I know grecko roman wrestlers as well as jujitsu practicioners, they bruise and scar. Big people hitting big people hard should leave marks and scars just like we have. Yet every week they come out and unless there was some accident or a huge pay per view match there is little or no damage shown and make up does not work so well when you are sweating and lubed up. Stomping your foot while giving someone a left jab or jumping into a hip toss......... Weekly events no, pay per view perhaps.

Wrestling I would sum up like football/rugby, you get impact but it does not mean you are physically effected by it each time, lots of time a hit does not do anything but make a noise and look more painful than it was. Leg drop, elbow drop, stomp punches, hip tosses, frog splash, shooting star press, figure four, arm bars, clothesline, power bombing by closing your legs before impact, holding the head on bulldogs and the slams where the head is inbetween the legs (can not remember the name). The most painful things are probably those backhands, this is the only time you see any kind of visible mark from a hit (chest turns red), ddt and suplexes of any kind.

Not saying the guys are not big and not saying they are not in decent muscular shape just saying that those hits are not as hard as they look and the mat is layered and spring loaded.
