Norwood looks to be just fine on 09:33 - Sep 19 by monytowbray
I remember when I weighed into an Eastenders thread once to tell everyone it's fake as satire and he called me a hypocrite. Irony is lost on him :)
Anyone who says Hulk Hogan body slamming Andre the Giant wasn't real needs to have a word with em selves, TBF Cat's jubblies from Eastenders are also very real
Without wanting to be *that guy* I can't say I'm overly enamoured by this.
He is paid handsomely to play football for us, and wrestling is a risk to his fitness with little reward.
Whilst wrestling is 'fake', what they have to put their body through for the entertainment is off the scale, what he is oing just in this GIF carries risks and I'd expect Lambert or O'Neill to put a stop to it

TBF the spots he did were pretty minimal. Probably more risk of him getting injured doing a bit of DIY on a Sunday.

Or pushing a shopping trolley around a supermarket.
Or falling out of your loft.

The move he did was actually mostly the receiving party's athleticism, the first lesson a wrestler learns is to take a bump, which means repeated drills of landing square on one's back from a standing position, if you look at the fella Norwood slams, the knees are bent and he pushes up to jump, Norwood at most applies forward force to help the slammed wrestler pivot on to his back. Very little strength in that slam came from Norwood at all, so, nothing really to get too het up over.

I'm no wrestling expert, and presumably neither is James Norwood, but he is relying on things going right in which can be complex moves with small margins for error.
It just seems unnecessarily risky considering footballers have it in their contracts they can't ski, ride motorbikes,, and a whole host of other activities

Ian Marshall and Richard Wright.
Correct!

You are being 'that guy' there Joe. It's for a brilliant cause, great PR for the club, good for the community etc. He would have OK'd this with the club.
I love having Big Nors at the club. Such a refreshing change to have a character in our team and his interaction with the supporters.

I assure you he goes down harder from tackles in raining on a daily basis than doing that rock bottom.
