There's a really gross and violent sport called cage fighting.
I simply don't understand why anyone wants to watch someone beat someone else to a bloody pulp - or be involved in the show. Yuck is right.

TAPS
Because healthy, handsome, intelligent, happy, friendly, young men want to test their strength in friendly combat, genetic echoes of more than a million years in which a male hominid's strength was a matter of survival...

Yeah, I myself would not do a combat sport. I would be scared to death to do it.

Prestige I guess Taps some guys want to be the best. I used to soak my hands in some liquid my Dad said bare fisted fighters could punch a door. Thankfully I soon got over that phase. I note Busy Lizzies are back here,they were withdrawn for a while as they had a mildew diseaser. I thought I would trial a few for the oldies.

All your plants sound so pretty and cheery. And I do so enjoy a favorite CD in the background. Your post brought to mind, from a closet in the basement of my brain, a time when I was quite young and cash was scarce, when the tranny went out and the cost to repair was a whopping thousand dollars! Highway robbery even then. About wrestling, have no idea why - must be a guy thing!

It HAS to be a male thing. I used to watch my sons wrestle on the floor. I was never sure who was trying to kill the other except they would both laugh. I sat there saying don't kill him in case one of them was getting a bit overeager. Never did understand any of it. Your balcony sounds beautiful. Pictures pretty please.
