I had a buddy who was a ref in the independent circuits for a few years. I went down to Regina with him to watch a couple guys get trained. I had the opportunity to learn to run the ropes and take a few bumps. Just falling onto the back on my own from a standing position, running off the ropes and falling properly , etc. Beginner stuff. Did this for an hour and a half ish. Never been more sore than I was the next day. Wrestling is scripted but it's far from fake.
