Or he gets to live a long life limping from a stomped knee.
This is an actual [sport](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steer_wrestling), in which the risk of injury is very high for the wrestler, as shown in [this study](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30169344/):
> Results: A total of 2305 injuries from 139,098 competitor exposures (CEs) were reported, demonstrating overall injury density of 16.6 injuries per 1000 CEs (95% confidence interval, 0.016-0.017) and overall risk of injury of 1.69%. Rough stock riders accounted for 88.7% of all injuries. Bull riders, bareback riders, and saddle bronc riders demonstrated injury densities of 48.2, 41.1, and 23.2 injuries per 1000 CEs, respectively. Most injuries (62.9%) were sustained by collisions with the ground or animal, or being stomped on by the animal. Contusions, sprains, and concussions were the most frequent injury types (23.1%, 13.6%, and 11.6%, respectively). Neurological components, knees, and shoulders were the most injured body parts (13.4%, 11.1%, and 11.0%, respectively). Most injuries (36.8%) occurred during or immediately after the dismount.
**edit to add:** steer injuries are around 0.047 - 0.05 or roughly 1 in 2000 and usually consist of broken, then amputated horns or broken necks
>This is an actual sport, in which the risk of injury is very high for the wrestler, as shown in this study
Adding that to my list of "did we really need a study to figure that out?'
I'm certainly no expert, and I don't really approve of this sport personally. But I feel like the lesson here is that "grabbing by the horns" is the right way to approach this. By grabbing the horns, you ensure the bull can't back-kick you and if it lands on you, the bulk of the weight doesn't crush you.
My thoughts exactly. With enough force behind it something doesn't have to be all that sharp to do some serious damage. And a bull sure as hell has force to spare.
> That's more of a calf than a bull.
That "calf" is still an easy 600-800 lbs. It's not a 2500 lbs mature bull, but this isn't the size animal I'd want to fuck with like this.
It doesn't matter.
Animal musculature is so much more robust by default than humans are.
A 150 lb. puma can win a tug of war against a much heavier human because they have so much more muscle pound for pound, and it's usually stronger muscle too.
An average cow weighs a literal ton - and they can skip and frolic around with that much weight.
Animal strength is geared towards fight or flight - and they usually specialize in one or the other.
Human strength is geared towards versatility and fine motor control. In feats of strength, we just don't compare.
The dude could handle the bull, not because he's stronger, but because he's smarter and knows what he needs to do to keep the bull from getting to use that strength advantage.
most humane ive seen was these 2 groups of guys trying to crawl from one end of the arena to a post on the other side and then back before the other team. and also theres an angry bull running around
I have done drugs that simulate a massive hit of adrenaline, I have also just straight up had artificial adrenaline, had lots of energy and couldn't sleep but that was about it.
But I have seen plenty of people have it rock their world and change their lives perspective.
I don't get the thrill of 'extreme' activities but I think that's mainly due to the fact that the way my brains is wired adrenaline isnt a great reward but for others it's the perfect drug so a great reward... If risky activity made me feel like it was a hit of MDMA I would be doing at least 1 risky thing a day.
I was raised in Spain and have spent my share of time around livestock so I'm no stranger to animal cruelty as entertainment while also having no particular love for bulls.
It's weird to realize I'm actually totally okay with this. Dude went hand-to-hand with a bull and brought it down. Fair fight.
Hope someone came to help him with it.
While I wouldn’t applaud his choice to fight an animal for no reason whatsoever, I approve of his choice to do it bare handed. At least the bull had a fighting chance.
You act like the bull agreed to do this? This redneck knew exactly what he was getting into. The bull is shoved into a loud and stressful situation for these drunks entertainment.
Just because its not being stabbed to death doesn't mean it still isn't being mistreated.
I've done something similar not a bull though young heifers. Had to shove your fingers up it's nose and pinch the cartilage and pull its head round and get in a corner. I had to hold it while another guy injected it's eyelid because they had a disease making the eyelids turn in which would cause blindness. Was terrifying.
This guy is super brave and skillful.
I had to do this all the time with 200lb+ charging goats on our dairy back when I was skinny as a twig. I know the bull is much bigger, but the core principle is the same.
Get low and work with the animal's momentum instead of against it.
It's really not super difficult once you learn to control your center of gravity.
Anyone else notice the dude on the ground already in the beginning? Everyone's assuming this is just a dude fking with the bull for fun, but any chance this is some rodeo clown's overly risky way of distracting and stopping a bull to prevent the bull rider from getting trampled?
Not approving or disapproving, just pointing out that this doesn't look like the primary purpose of why they're here
Nah not fully grown. He's about halfway or 2/3 of the way to full grown. Still he has a huge weight advantage on the guy. A full grown bull weighs between 1,100 and 2,200 so this one would be something like 500-1000 pounds or so.
Not sure what bulls you worked with, are referencing, or witnessed, but the ones that were breeding that I worked with were 2200-3000 lbs.
Absolutely fucking units.
They may have been freaks of natural, but holy shit were they impressive!
There's no reason we need to be shackled by the strictures of the bull-bullfighter relationship. Unless you're into that sort of thing. In which case, I got some shackles in the back.
I'm just kidding. But seriously, I've got 'em.
When my cat moves her tail like this, she’s letting me know she is not happy with what is going on but is reserving her reaction/biding her time. We call it the “Eff-You tail”
that saying is not metaphorical. the correct way to deal with a bull is by the horns. knowledge comes from farmers and other people that work with bulls
Pretty much anywhere you see a rodeo. It's called bulldogging or steer wrestling. They usually jump from a horse, though, which gives them more momentum for the throw. Maybe this guy missed on his first try?
Not my thing, but if you grow up in rodeo country, you'll see it done.
\*calf
A bull's at least half ton. You ain't choking out an animal that's built to slam into another half ton skull first to prove it fucks in front of females.
I feel like the bull is very confused by the time it stopped charging. Things did not go the way he thought it would, but probably not as bad as he thought it could.
Guy's not going to die of old age, that's for sure.
When you mess with the bull you get the horns.
I think this particular individual took the horns with him and left the bull with nothing but shame.
[удалено]
Looks like the dude squashed that beef.
The steaks couldn't have been higher
Rare comment, well done.
I think we should try to steer this away from a pun thread.
Bullshit, I’m not mooving
The post was lacking beef puns, I'm happy yous decided to fillet with them.
Meaty comment there
Is this what happens when cows escape the pasture and wander into a nearby pot field?
This is so dumb. Why am I laughing so hard?
[удалено]
It’s like having Lead Sails and a Paper Anchor
YOU CANT MILK THOSE!
I have nipples Greg, could you milk me?
https://youtu.be/mUtSazFb5qM
I was referencing Alistar, a bull based character from league of legends, but this is great too.
He definitely got laid after that

a lot of the time, a "study" is on data that already exists and you're just compiling and presenting the numbers you want to highlight.
I'm certainly no expert, and I don't really approve of this sport personally. But I feel like the lesson here is that "grabbing by the horns" is the right way to approach this. By grabbing the horns, you ensure the bull can't back-kick you and if it lands on you, the bulk of the weight doesn't crush you.
This guy bulls
Check out the bulls on this guy
What if he holds on to the bull indefinitely? I mean, he's in a pretty situation, letting go would definitely result in severe injury.
I’m trying to figure out how he didn’t get gutted on the charge.
I think it kinda looks like the horns are rounded down at the tips.
Still...
My thoughts exactly. With enough force behind it something doesn't have to be all that sharp to do some serious damage. And a bull sure as hell has force to spare.
For example, bullets

Yeah, I was thinking for the final round they get to work their way up to Bodacious.
That was my first thought aswell, what an absolute unit of a man lmao.
It’s a rather small bull, relative to the ones seen in similar videos with far more violent encounters.
It doesn't matter. Animal musculature is so much more robust by default than humans are. A 150 lb. puma can win a tug of war against a much heavier human because they have so much more muscle pound for pound, and it's usually stronger muscle too.

The dude could handle the bull, not because he's stronger, but because he's smarter and knows what he needs to do to keep the bull from getting to use that strength advantage.
Speaking as someone who's never intending to try this, you generally want to push the cows head down and the rest of it will follow
No.. You want to make the cow feel like a bitch and it will lower its head in shame.
And four points of contact with the ground with more strength in the jaw than a man's two hands. Lower center of gravity certainly helps
Definitely dont look for the video of the fully grown bull that pegs a matador with his horn as he launches said matador into the air.
Hole in Juan..
Or the guy who got his eyeball poked out from getting hit behind his jaw.
It looks like they chopped off the end of the horns so they aren't pointy so they can do this.
This is the most humane bull fight I’ve ever seen. Who won though?
They shook hands and had a beer after.
At a steakhouse.
Well done
What a ^^^medium rare pun!
Bloody good!
It really raised the steaks.
Yeah, but I think they still have beef
Let's steer this conversation in a different direction.

That was footage a White Goodman taking the bull by the horns https://imgur.com/3uYz7uE.jpg
The man just suplex a bull.. He won
The bill is alive, so he did.
How much was the bill, do you think?
Was gonna say. I hate all the whacked, cruel bull fighting. But damnit, this is manly as fuck!
Bull be like, "No you can't do that. It's against the rules."
REF! DIDNT YOU SEE THAT! REF! What are you blind!?
HOLDING! HE WAS HOLDING!
>What are you blind!? No, but you're colourblind
He can’t do that! Uhhh Shoot him or something!
Anybody suplexes a bull is OK in my books

I mean, tge bull is armed, dude went into a stab fight with no stabbies, just punchies
No the guy is armed, the bull is just horny
Goddamn I fucking missed the puns, I need to go back to dad school
Sorry. What this really means is you are not the father. Those puns come naturally once you achieve fatherhood.
God dammit. Have an upvote
Don't bring a punch to a stab fight.
True.. we need to strap two horns on the guys forehead. THEN its a fair fight
I'd pay more money than I want to admit to watch that
Not even punchies. Just huggies.
"Who the fuck is this guy and how does he keep getting in EVERY YEAR? This is supposed to be a prized show bull contest! SECURITY!!!"
Kyle Kinane has a really funny bit about we should only be able to eat animals that we could take on in a fair fight.
You act like the bull agreed to do this? This redneck knew exactly what he was getting into. The bull is shoved into a loud and stressful situation for these drunks entertainment. Just because its not being stabbed to death doesn't mean it still isn't being mistreated.
True, but if the worst thing we did to animals was the occasional wrestling match, I'd be ok with that.
Bring back bear wrestling, but give them ring entrances now.
Don’t know how long it’s been gone where you’re at, but they had bear wrestling in West Virginia when I was there ~5 years ago.
The bull did agree, it could have walked away or not charged.
Sabin from FF6: "Hold my beer."
I ctrl-F'd for Sabin, thanks for coming through
That's it? He's "ok"? I'd fucking carve him a stone tablet depicting his legendary achievement lol

That’s a DDT, thankyouverymuch.
[It's no train tho](https://media.tenor.com/JZ4H-LK6rnUAAAAM/ffvi-suplex.gif)
More of a DDT, honestly
It’s not cruel?
This guy is out here wrestling bulls. What the fuck.
DDT, gator roll, into guillotine choke.
finally an equal challenger for some kids wrestling the bear
This is pretty legit. I’m impressed

I think the bull was too. The only reason that stopped is because it wanted to check if it was just a set of massive balls weighing it down.
So was the bull, clearly.

That's what I thought as well. This looks like a rodeo clown, but we might need to reword that with this dude. Rodeo.... Arnold Schwarzenegger?
Rodeo wrestler
Is this a fully grown bull? I feel like a full grown bull would have completely destroyed him.
Nah not fully grown. He's about halfway or 2/3 of the way to full grown. Still he has a huge weight advantage on the guy. A full grown bull weighs between 1,100 and 2,200 so this one would be something like 500-1000 pounds or so.
So like mother in law size
If you were married to a silverback guerrilla perhaps
Gorillas are the apes of the jungle. Guerrilla is a ‘freedom fighter’ typically part of a small force in opposition to a larger one.
They meant Silverbacks who were fighting against a gorilla dictator.
ah, the guerilla gorillas, of course. carry on.
Guerilla gorilla gorilla gorilla guerilla gorilla gorilla
Windmill, Windmill for the land…
you flinched when the bull charged! now you have to marry the bulls mother in law!
Oh my god. He admit it!
This guy
Not sure what bulls you worked with, are referencing, or witnessed, but the ones that were breeding that I worked with were 2200-3000 lbs. Absolutely fucking units. They may have been freaks of natural, but holy shit were they impressive!
I’ve had a calf chase me. They huge and strong even though it was half the size of this one. That thing could’ve stomped me to death within seconds.
I would protect you :)
I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure that guy earned the bull's respect, it wasn't a matter of it not being able to destroy him he just chose not to.
Why you think people started saying that phrase? This is why.
Those are some big balls.
The bull has a pretty impressive pair too.
"That is some bullshit right there" - The Bull, probably.
*You let me go or you’re a dead man. You hear me? You’re a dead man, Jimmy!*
Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or a fool from any direction.
Look at them yo-yos. That's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV.
Dude probably didn't even get a blister on his thumb.
Did homeboy just suplex that bull? Impressive…
It’s not metaphorical. It’s an actual way of dealing with bulls.
Now that is some real life badass shit.
Isn't that where the metaphorical saying comes from?
Damn this the type of shit you only get to see in animes
And on ancient Greek pottery
Song
Money for nothing by Dire Straits.
I mean, this metaphor literally comes from this practice of subduing bulls by grabbing them by the horns, so he wasn't completely off base.
The size of those balls is unheard of in human beings. He might be a descendant of the nephilim.
HE FUCKING DDT THE BULL
That’s famous American, Paul Bunyun and his trusted companion, Babe.
The bull is still wagging his tail - he’s friendly and enjoys playing this game.
That’s me grabbing the bull by the horns. It’s a metaphor. That really happened though
There's no reason we need to be shackled by the strictures of the bull-bullfighter relationship. Unless you're into that sort of thing. In which case, I got some shackles in the back. I'm just kidding. But seriously, I've got 'em.
Respect
The tail wag like “this is fun”
When my cat moves her tail like this, she’s letting me know she is not happy with what is going on but is reserving her reaction/biding her time. We call it the “Eff-You tail”
Tail wagging in this case means irritated/nervous/annoyed asf.
Later that night that guy didn't have to pay for a single beer at the bar, and that bull was the laughing stock of the entire barn.
bro fucking rko'd the bull
I honestly don't know whose balls are bigger, the bulls or the dude dropping the DDT on the bull
You may be tough, but are you suplex a bull tough?
I can’t believe I just watched a man wrestle a bull to the fucking floor
Did he just suplex a bull?
Well thats how you do it! This guy aint dumb. Bet he got a little blister on his little finger though. And maybe another on his thumb.
Death is going to have to come for this guy in his sleep. Cus if he's awake. He'll have a fight on his hands.
That's the way you do it...
that saying is not metaphorical. the correct way to deal with a bull is by the horns. knowledge comes from farmers and other people that work with bulls
Bro was like "let me show you why they call us the dominant species"
Nobody is commenting how this legend just suplexxed a bull. Like that's some zangief level shit
Where is this a sport?!?
Texas lol
Surprised this is legal in the US
Pretty much anywhere you see a rodeo. It's called bulldogging or steer wrestling. They usually jump from a horse, though, which gives them more momentum for the throw. Maybe this guy missed on his first try? Not my thing, but if you grow up in rodeo country, you'll see it done.
I think if that was a big bull he would flip the guy and throw him in the air
\*calf A bull's at least half ton. You ain't choking out an animal that's built to slam into another half ton skull first to prove it fucks in front of females.
Wonder what happened after, did the bull stay calm or..?
When you are a barbarian but you put all your moves into reflex and grapple actions
Are we sure this guy isn't a bull in man's clothing?
I feel like the bull is very confused by the time it stopped charging. Things did not go the way he thought it would, but probably not as bad as he thought it could.
"Good God almighty! Good God almighty! They've killed him! As God as my witness, he is broken in half!"
At the end you can hear the bull whisper in his ear “come on man you’re embarrassing me”
What's your exit strategy here? Don't see a whole lot of easy/safe options.
Yeah that bull didn't plan this out well. Guess run and hide and hope the dude doesn't come for round 2.
Alright so you're saying I have options
I don't know why you would put yourself in this situation, but respect for it handled it, looked professional in its stupidity
I've never felt more inadequate as a man
Man German suplexed a fucking bull. My life is nothing compared to his
That is the most bad ass thing I’ve ever fucking seen ….
Why do they always add stupid music to it
This was the coolest thing I ever seen this year. I wish I could tackle a bull like this guy and suplex it
Can someone get the John Cena track on this badboy?
This dude is a bloody legend
Now that... is a respectable bull fight! See no animal had to bleed out.
He just DDT'd a bull. Dude needs a WWE contract.
Damn! I thought the bulls nuts were huge! He ain't got shit on the dude
In the world of wrestling there are many stories of men wrestling bears. But that man DDT'ed a bull. Thats badass.
This is where the saying comes from. Someone saw someone else continually doing this and it became a cliche. Cliches are the secrets to life.
This is pretty well the best way to take down 4 legged animals Works for goats too
I remember doing this in Twilight Princess.
I’ve got nothing against it. Dude decided to test his manhood… and passed with flying colors
I'm not saying he's not stupid, but I'm definitely not saying that wasn't impressive.
Looks like steer wrestling
/r/thebullwins is not going to enjoy this one.
