I always felt like this was backyard wrestling in a nutshell, a Darwin Award waiting to happen between two untrained guys who I'm sure pretended to walk off a stage to a Limp Bizkit tune beforehand. There's such a thing as dumb fun, except this is twice the dumb and none of the fun. I'm basically just here to prove the point of your first sentence.
These guys are from a group called No Mercy Video, who I remember from way back in 2004. They had their own ring and used to do a bunch of full backyard shows and battle royales and stuff, while simultaneously doing Jackass style stunts. This one's not actually for one of their wrestling shows, it's for a 'stunt' website that posted a 30 or so stunt checklist that you had to tick off on camera to win a prize.

The challenge was just 'break a table'.

No Mercy didn't do things by halves.

Also, one of the No Mercy guys went on to become Dino Winwood of PWG fame.

I'm glad my one attempt at yardtarding was not filmed. I put a kid in the Liontamer and cranked back on it too much, then got spinebustered onto my neck. Later there was a ladder spot.

You steal them from behind stores and in loading docks and poo poo. When I was in high school I knew some dudes who liked to just chuck them at pavement to break them and that's how they got most of their supply.

Also I bet a lot of these guys work at WalMart and when I did deliveries to WalMarts for one of my first jobs they would just have huge boxes of them sitting around in the stockroom unattended.

Yeah no mercy video was pretty cool. Leroy also actually got trained if I remember correctly. I remember seeing him at quite a few Southern California indy shows.

When I was in high school I watched Raw and Smackdown all the time, but I had a classmate and buddy who did backyard wrestling and invited me to a few of their events and I went.

One time at school he told me he was practicing his chair shots and wanted me to hit him in the head with my history book, and he lowered his head in anticipation. When I did (softly, because I didn't want to accidentally hurt him), he flipped out and said that I hit him in the head "the wrong way" and how he could have been paralyzed.

That is one high school friend I'm glad I lost touch with immediately after graduation.

It's like watching real pro wrestling in slow motion. Also, I love the Juggalo themed wrestler passing out after all of two seconds in a dragon sleeper hold. He might want to work on that cardio.

i just don't understand hardcore backyard wrestling. doing some normal wrestling moves on a few mattresses outside for shits and giggles is one thing, but taking table bumps, lights tubes, barbed wire, etc. in front of literally nobody is a whole new level of stupid. if you want youtube views get a cat. if you wanna break into the business loving join a football team or something.

Hardcore backyard wrestling is the weird fringe benefit of the systemic entrenchment of institutional oppression. Once you look at it through that lens it gets a helluva lot more funnier/depressing.

Near as I can tell, he's saying: backyarding exists because of poor or stupid people, who are those ways because of how the system keeps people down, but backyarding is also funny so it's a positive outcome to a negative thing. Well, not positive for the juggalos who are snapping their spines jumping off of houses or whatever, but positive for us, the observers.
