Two performers on opposite ends of the spectrum, Lance Storm and Disco Inferno, debated the safety of worked forearms in pro-wrestling. The conversation stemmed from the brutal forearm delivered by Jinder Mahal to Finn Balor on Raw, putting the popular Irish star out of action with a concussion.

Forearms Too Risky? Lance Storm and Disco Inferno Debate

A popular technique in Japan is for wrestlers to forearm each other in the face as hard as possible. Disco Inferno believes the moves are too dangerous to be used, while Lance Storm simply feels wrestlers are not “working” their shots enough.

And here I am the only pro wrestler on the planet pointing out how unsafe forearms to the head are. Bring back working punches please

If you are teaching a wrestling trainee to throw a forearm to the head, would you offer to be on the receiving end? Why? Or why not?

How do you know?? There were /are no concussion protocols. When you got your bell rung it WAS no big deal. THESE days we know it's trauma. https://t.co/SCHV4zYDxR
