Everybody knows that pro wrestling is "fake." The storylines are scripted. The outcomes of matches are predetermined. And while wrestlers might look like they're in a lot of pain in the ring, they're usually not (at least, not to the degree that you'd think).

For proof of that, just take a look at what happened between Yoshiko and Act Yasukawa during a World Wonder Ring Stardom​ main event in Japan on Saturday.

And when we say "attacking," we mean "not sticking to the script and pummeling Yasukawa into oblivion." By the end of the match, Yasukawa was covered in blood and, while that's sort of normal in wrestling, it's blood that was there because of the broken orbital bone, broken nose, and concussion that she reportedly suffered during the match.
