Surely we are all mature individuals who would never advocate "trying this at home"...
But that doesn't mean that we weren't once young, dumb and ready to bump!
What was the name of YOUR backyard FED?
Mine was M.E.W. - Main Event Wrestling. We held some matches in my buddy's basement on an old mattress. It was as shitty as you can imagine, but thank god we kept it relatively safe and didn't try any big bumps or hardcore bullshit. Probably only taped it a couple times before we got over it.
In later years, sometimes some friends and I would work spontaneous matches at keg parties and the like. It was fun, we would start out like a legit scuffle/fight and bystanders would be pretty concerned, until suddenly somebody pulled out a powerbomb or nail a flying cross-body off a deck. Lubricated with alcohol, it sometimes escalated pretty quickly. I retired from doing this after my 6'7" 245 lb. friend dropped an elbow on me out of a tree, through a table. It was dumb and hurt like hell but those in attendance still occasionally bring up the memory-- the price of glory!!
