School Days




No Rules Wrestling is more than just an underground wrestling website.  It is also an educational institution.  It often features instruction videos, usually featuring Dave Calbrese and his School of Hard Knocks.  If you want to learn how to be a pro wrestler, I recommend that you check out these videos.  Of course, I like the one featured here where Calbrese teaches young rookie wrestlers Luca Rossi and "Showtime" Sammy Sabre the art of the bodyslam.  Calbrese truly is an accomplished expert in the field of pro wrestling, but what gets me about this video is the complete lack of interest that students Luca and Showtime have in their lesson.  Don't they realize they are in the presence of greatness here?  Showtime just stands in the corner looking bored, as if he's counting down the seconds until he can take his leave.  And Luca is even worse.  He looks like he's still recovering from an all night party at the frat house.

This must be frustrating for a professional like Calbrese.  He's a master of his art, and the younger wrestlers should be eagerly soaking up his knowledge.  But alas, like the lazy, self entitled millenials of today, they just stare back with vapid expressions of disinterest.  At least Calbrese knows how to get their attention back:


Ouch!  An over-the-knee backbreaker.  That'll wake you up, you dumb-ass punk!
