While I do love to wrestle, and really enjoy when a woman can wrestle pretty competitively with me, getting punched/stomped (or doing the punching/stomping) doesn't hold the same appeal. Wrestling, to me, is about the struggle and the power exchange, but it's one where nobody (should) get hurt. Sure, a hold might be uncomfortable, but that's when the person taps and you start the next fall, and it often involves pins, which are a demonstration of strength/control that often aren't painful at all. Punching and stomping just seem like they're too likely to inflict pain for me to be interested.
Obviously, everyone has different tastes, though, and I'll be curious to hear what others have to say on the topic.
