For example, you don't need one for those little rat dogs women carry around in their purses. Our pup, Sherpa, is a high energy, short attention span Belgian. Without an electronic remote collar, we would not be able to take him anywhere off-leash. Calling "Sherpa" is not going to stop him from chasing a rabbitt, just not going to happen. It doesn't hurt him, it just gets his attention. I've had it up to 80 on my neck, which is much more sensative than a dog's neck. It is a humane and effective training tool.

However, in WCW a few years ago there was a Tazer-on-a-pole match between Scott Hall and Goldberg. Hall one and tazered the SHIT out of goldberg, and it was all real. Sorta like when Goldberg (their main star at the time) punched out the window of a limo to get at the bad guys ..... yup, real glass, slashed his hand and wrist up really bad and had some nerve damage. Wrestlers are not smart. The whole 'fake' thing has meant that many of the gags and stunts you see are real. When they bury someone in a buried alive match, its done. What you dont see after the camera shuts down is the frantic rush to dig the guy out and get him medical attention. After a long string of bad injuries and Owen's death things started to be planned out more and more special effects were used, but on the whole most guys want to do their own stunts and falls. Hell, I think they're idiots and I still do the most stupid crap I can if I feel its necessary. For instance, until the plans were altered due to business realities, my wife was pretty upset that I'd agreed to take place in a brutal cage match that would have included at least two very unwise moments. And as much as I try to explain, it's not a macho thing in the 'nothing can hurt me' sense, its more about art (because no matter how crazy or stupid those on the outside think it may be, we train and work very hard at a craft that is both mentally and physically demanding). TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.

Yes, some accidents do happen. Just a couple of weeks ago, Triple H and The Big Show had a confrontation that ended with Triple H slamming a sledgehammer to Show's outstretched hand on the top step of the steel steps. It looked real, but replays show he didn't really connect, at least not fully. I could be wrong. Also this past Monday Ric Flair attacked Edge and Edge hit him in the head with a steel chair, then laid the chair on top of the announcing table, laid Flair's head on it, then seemed to hit him with another chair. It didn't look like a direct hit. But yes, sometimes injuries happen. Edited to add: Have you ever done a ladder match? Those look absolutely brutal...

Rarely are the props gimmicked, unless absolutely necessary. Even then it rarely works out that well for the person who wanted the gimmicked prop. Example: Foley vs HHH street fight included a 2x4 wrapped in barbed wire. Foley took the real barbed wire, HHH decided plastic would be safer and it still sliced him up badly - HIAC between the two used real barbed wire and no gimmicks (except the ring). STEEL chairs hurt. There's no trick involved - you get hit with a heavy folding chair and it hurts a great deal. I'm a little old (and smart) for ladder matches - the companies I work with most often tend to avoid putting on the big gimmick matches simply because of the injury factor and their 'specialness' - usually once or twice a year. We've done a couple of table, ladders and chairs matches - A quick trip to Home Depot and you're all set for 20 minutes of fun. What I've always found fascinating is that the stuff that the fan sees as most brutal is often the easiest, and the stuff that most fans dont even notice is the stuff that really hurts and is tough to do. (for instance, no one thinks anything of a clothesline when they see it - now imagine a 200lb+ guy slamming his bicep into your throat, chin or face as hard and fast as he can - urk). TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.
