Collar choke.
Chew 3 cloves of garlic, then an intimate embrace -
Bear in mind that Andre the giant is a highly skilled martial
artist. Sure, that wrestling stuff is show, but that's because
they're trying hard not to hurt each other. Most of it would work
if done with intent.
Yes, it's acting, but it takes skill to engage in such violence,
and NOT hurt one another.
My question is, how do they enforce the safety bit? Suppose
one is a mean bastard - some of them must be - how do they
prevent him from wrecking his partner/opponent, if he
desires? Because he can easily claim it was accidental, or,
"hey, come on, it's a violent sport, you have to take your lumps"
