Bullfighter is a wretched event. So the teenager kills 6 bulls. Big deal.

The matador has at least 6 assistants. After they all enter the ring and show off to the crowd while studying the bulls behavior, they leave the bullring.

A mounted lancer enters the ring and pierces the bulls neck with a long spear. This weakens the bull, and the animal suffers a lot of blood loss.

This attack is followed by banderilleros. Their job is to stick two bards into the bulls shoulders (2 for each banderilleros).

Finally the matadors enters the ring, and after a number of passes, he plunges a blade through the bulls shoulder blades and into the heart, thus killing the bull.

I’d like to see that matador enter the ring at a PBR event. Now those bullfighters don’t have weapons and an army of assistants. It’s just a one, two, or three of them, their agility, and one rank, angry bull (BTW, the bull hasn’t been prodded, speared, and stabbed either).

But aren’t they cinched to kind of make them mad?
