Jones and Gatorwolf are ready to admit that wrestling is fake. The moves are choreographed and the punches are pulled. However, wrestling is entertainment and the outcome of a match is not important. Gatorwolf said the keys to putting on a good show are working the crowd and psychology and making it look real. However, even with a routine planned move by move, performing is physically demanding.
Injuries are common.
Gatorwolf said he stopped wrestling is because he broke his back. His former partner, Hillbilly Jim, had his kneecap kicked into his thigh. Morgan said so far she dislocated her wrist and had a hairline fracture on her leg. The moves practiced for the ring can easily be used in a real fight. Some of Gatorwolf's students participated in a Toughman competition in Park City, where the punches, kicks and holds were not pulled.
