THE RIBS ARE IN THE CHEST, PEOPLE
Anubis | Posted on 03/13/06 at 09:14:15 Sorry for the outburst, but I'm sick of bookers portraying the ribs as being in the stomach. They did it with DDP's "rib injury", and now they've done the same thing with Cage's! Seriously, in you didn't see it, Cage had his ribs taped (as if that does anything to help anyway) from about his belly button down into his tights. THE RIBS ARE NOT DOWN THERE. What kind of mutant has ribs in his stomach? I dunno about you guys, but my ribs end about three inches ABOVE the belly button. Ridiculous to the max. Seriously. |
psz | Posted on 03/13/06 at 13:57:42 It's to keep the abs from expanding and pushing out the ribs when breathing heavy. (That's the portrayal, anyway) |
Anubis | Posted on 03/13/06 at 21:11:03 It's still dumb and unrealistic. |
91 | Posted on 03/13/06 at 23:22:27 Whilst in wrestling the taping sometimes strays too low, psz is dead on, you shouldn't be taping the ribs directly. As per the Yahoo health section... In the past, it was common to tape or tightly wrap the injured rib area. While this may help lessen pain, it also keeps the chest from fully expanding when you breathe in, so you cannot take adequate breaths. This can lead to small areas of lung collapse and may make it more likely for you to get pneumonia. Most rib belts that are used to treat such injuries are clearly worn just below the ribs - here's a picture of someone wearing such an item... http://www.medspec.com/images/products/ElasticRibBeltsFcopy.jpg |
Rick Garrard | Posted on 03/14/06 at 02:48:35 Is that a protrudence from your occipital protuberence? |

Pulsar | Posted on 03/14/06 at 03:55:42 You're opinion is just Anubis, but it is now common for a wrestling fan to go "Belly taped, must be a rib injury." It's an illusion |

Rick Garrard | Posted on 03/14/06 at 06:40:59 Sorry Unright, just having a Gorilla flashback. And Ray... you ain't much better for trying to start a flame war, pal. |
Anubis | Posted on 03/14/06 at 07:01:20 Who is hugebacklundfan 2? Am I getting like famous in the wrestling community or something? I didn't think I'd spread out so far. Hell yeah I'm negative (not much to be positive about these days in wrestling), and I suppose technically I do fit the dictionary definition of bastard seeing as my biological father was kicked out of my life (albeit rightly so because he was abusive) by the time I was born even. So what's you point? Hahaha. As for the ribs thing, okay, so you secure just below the ribs. Still, DDP and now Cage practically had the tape low enough to secure their nuts! I mean, it started just like a centimeter above the waistline of the tights and went down into them. Makes me wonder, hahaha! Take that picture and lower the thing by a foot; that's where Cage had his "ribs" taped. Taped bladder is more like it. |
rey619 | Posted on 03/14/06 at 08:22:54 Since that Obsessedwithwrestling dude won Worst non-wrestler of the year in 2005, I think Anubis should at least get nominated for 2006 ;D |

Unright | Posted on 03/14/06 at 18:10:21 Actually I think 'Bis has tamed down a bit. Sure he's strongly opinionated, but if you can't deal with strong opinions on the net or in real life without starting a fight, then you've got problems. |
Anubis | Posted on 03/14/06 at 21:37:28 Yeah, I haven't lost my temper around here in like . . . months. TiLo makes is tough to keep my cool, too, yet I still manage. I've been getting along with everyone lately. |
91 | Posted on 03/14/06 at 22:08:12 I know, everything is so calm now nobody is fighting with Anubis all the time. It's like the old days on the old boards where no fights used to happen, nobody used to bitch about other people posting their circuits on the main board or begging for registration codes on the multimedia boards or wishing cancer on one another. Or is that exactly what used to happen? Either way, it's a lot more peaceful now. |
psz | Posted on 03/15/06 at 01:29:32 Or people wondering why you couldn't run TNM 6.2+ directly from QBasic... |
Rick Garrard | Posted on 03/15/06 at 03:17:46 TiLo, you write in Anubis and I write in Ray Wong. :) |
TiLoBrown | Posted on 03/15/06 at 04:58:09 Oh yea, he's calmed down don't get me wrong. Just I hold grudges for a long time. Ask Carp. And Rick....I'm staying out of that ;) |
Crpls | Posted on 03/15/06 at 08:13:00 Ray's got a great gimmick. Leave the guy alone. |
TiLoBrown | Posted on 03/15/06 at 08:34:53 Yea, well Anubis has my gimmick and I want it back. Anubis! Me and you! WrestleMania! Wait, I'm not HHH........... |
Anubis | Posted on 03/16/06 at 00:00:06 I had a snappy comeback, but decided it'd be better not to stir the pot. I was also gonna say something funny about something else, but then remembered I said I wouldn't shill anymore. So yeah, I guess there's absolutely no point to this post. |
TiLoBrown | Posted on 03/16/06 at 00:15:26 LOL, I figured you'd know I'm just jokin with ya after the WM part. Feel free to post what you want. These are peaceful times, I don't think one stray comment will start a war again. |
Anubis | Posted on 03/16/06 at 04:03:19 Well I was gonna say "if you write me in, I'll write you in", but wasn't sure how it'd be taken. Heh. As for the other, I was gonna say it'd be cool if my IWF circuit got nominated for best promotion, hahaha. |
Pulsar | Posted on 03/17/06 at 03:19:26 I hate everyone alive (Sturing the universal pot) |
Rick Garrard | Posted on 03/17/06 at 04:16:24 {hugs an unwilling Pulsar then cuts a promo about Doritos and Pulsar eating them constantly} |

Rick Garrard | Posted on 04/05/06 at 02:39:07 dude, it's a gimmick. |
Tommy Brownell | Posted on 04/12/06 at 08:22:12 I speak to him fairly often...I think he actually has anger issues. |
Anubis | Posted on 04/12/06 at 10:10:15 Who's Ray? |
Rick Garrard | Posted on 04/13/06 at 02:47:43 You're kidding about not knowing Ray Wong, right? He's the one that just out F'd Shane Douglas in another post. |
Anubis | Posted on 04/13/06 at 03:49:00 Huh? |
Crpls | Posted on 04/13/06 at 03:50:03 Ray is an enigma. |
Unright | Posted on 04/13/06 at 12:25:57 H8 Superstar = Ray Wong ::) |
Crpls | Posted on 04/14/06 at 07:47:10 You ruined it. |
Unright | Posted on 04/14/06 at 08:16:22 Ruining it is the new going along with it |
Rick Garrard | Posted on 04/15/06 at 00:58:20 that's just unright. |
