Living up to a stereotype is apparently important for these residents of St.John, New Brunswick:

Police in Saint John say there's little they can do to stop a new kind of sporting event in the city, one the participants call "extreme backyard wrestling." It's similar to what the professionals do on TV, only the wrestlers don't have any training, the blood is real and the participants often get hurt. In a typical match, the wrestlers smash each other with chairs, ladders and tube lights. They also land kicks and bare-fisted punches to the head and stomach. One popular stunt involves putting a cheese grater on a wrestler's forehead, which his opponent stomps with his boots. It's guaranteed to shred some skin and draw rivulets of blood...None of the half-dozen members of the Passion For Pain Wrestling Organization has been severely injured. But Jeff Dunning said he realized it could be dangerous after he had an ear sliced in two. "The foldup chair opened up, and it was a little bit opened, and when I got hit it closed on my ear. But, we controlled it pretty good."
