You know its bad when some yardtard does something more impressive and cleaner in a wrestling environment, knowing he's completely untrained and just a fan lucky enough to have friends to practice with and on, compared to the shitters on national television today.

I think most trainers these days are either clueless and got the job from a sympathy angle, or are intentionally sabotaging their students because they're jealous of them and bitter their career was cut short.

No, it was because they failed to learn from those who either failed to teach or were incapable of doing it. Shawn Michaels opened up his own wrestling school and he taught a while there before handing it off to others because he came to the conclusion he couldn't really teach or show what it is that just came naturally to him.
AEW is basically the most successful yard tard thread on that premise alone because several guys tried to impart wisdom onto the younger talent but they would rather go out tot eh ring to play grab-ass and tickle taint with their fucking friends as opposed to piecing together a compelling wrestling match instead of just a sequence of cool looking moves with no substance except for mimicking an anime fight.

Yep. Hardy's had their own fed and they helped train Shannon Moore and Shane Helms. Foley got famous for yardtarding. CM Punk got his name from his yard tarding days. DEAN yardtarded as a coping mechanism for a bad childhood. "Sick" Nick Mondo started in a backyard. Its wrestling's bastard, autistic, pants on head drooling retarded stepchild twice removed at this point.

You probably do. The line between outlaw mudshows and yardtards is ill defined at best. Some fat schlub booking your local banquet center doesn't mean he ain't a yardtard.

With a lack of schools or even the means in which to pay for training, many just opt to bounce around with their friends for fun and the more serious seek out bookings and go from there. Its more or less something you learn on the job anyway.

With BJJ, no-gi grappling and other martial arts becoming normal pasttimes we can expect a generation of backyard shooters.
Maybe in a weird way this is how we're gonna get real tough guys back in wrestling. Some meth/fent/kratom heads with legit shoot credentials will appear out of shit holes throughout the US looking for easy work and voila the business is full of insane people once again.

There's a fine line between backyard shooters and unlicensed boxing/MMA events and the law comes down on those hard. Yardtarding may be something that circumvents such restrictions.

Trampoline's wrestling is based its beyond unpredictable where the fuck you're going to even land or what's going to happen. Could beam yourself off the frame, could break your ass on the ground; wild times.

bumps to the frontal lobe are probably the cause of 30% of nutcases on earth. a lot of the psycho girls I knew had an abusive parent or a bad hit to the head somewhere. Henry the 8th was apparently normal before a jousting accident in his 30s/40s. one bump was all it took

It sounds like an interesting way to spend an evening if you get a few beers into you and just watch a shit show. Its always good to see people be passionate about what they love doing and dig as opposed to those that just go through the motions to get to the bar the fastest.
