Light Falls On Wrestler’s Head, Finally Makes High School Wrestling Exciting [VIDEO]

Now before you get up in arms about me poking fun at a tragic incident where a giant lighting fixture fell on the head of a high school wrestler, let’s get the facts out there…

According to Deadspin, the high school kid/wrestler “tweeted out later that he was fine, just a few stitches required, and posted a photo of his gashes.“

So the kid is fine. In fact, he’s better than fine: he’s got a solid story to tell for the rest of his life, and probably the scar to prove it.

And now, let’s be honest… High school wrestling is a terrible sport. It’s no wonder this school in Madison, South Dakota holds a “Madison Square Garden” night with crazy lighting and loud music and glow sticks: because otherwise a night full of a bunch of young boys flopping around on a mat is unbearable.

Even with all that, it’s still probably unbearable. If wrestling is so great, why do the pros feel the need to dress up and bring chairs into the action? The facts are that a light falling on a kid is probably about as close to pro wrestling as high school wrestling will ever get.

But here’s the thing, this could have been a major tragedy and should open up administrators’ eyes. Maybe it’s time the school did away with wrestling. I’m sure all the parents who get stuck watching wrestling would thank them.

      As much of a terrible accident as this is, I can't help but be amused. Who knew faulty lighting equipment would turn out to be his ticket into the team?
