**slight rant incoming**
So Over The Top wrestling in Ireland had their first show back today in 18 months. Out of all the tale t on the shows may e 3 or 4 of them have wrestled in the past year and a half and that's literally been 1 or 2 matches. Now here in the UK and Ireland there has been no training schools allowed to open so for a lot of the wrestlers today was their first time in a ring since lockdown started.
Sadly this led to 2 injuries.
British wrestler Omari landed awkwardly after a poison-rana by local star Terry Thatcher. The match was immediately stopped and medics checked on him. I was told during the break Omari suffered a stinger on the move but was doing OK.
In the main event the Kings of the North (who feature in my OTT pack, shameless plug lol) were challenging for the vacant tag titles. In the opening of the match Bonesaw was pulled of the top rope by ROH star Martina and appeared to suffer some kind of leg injury. Bonesaw was unable to return to the match and stayed on the floor until after about 8 minutes he put up the X himself and the match ended in a very quick roll up before medics helped him to the back.
My question is, should the show have went ahead with wrestlers having little to no ring time or training over the past 18 months. Yes injuries are part of the business but you could see a lot of issues and potentially near disastrous mome ts throughout the show.
