That's it in a nutshell. Throwing is a pretty sucky thing to do to your body, and in the end we all finish with the same injuries.
Of course, some of the substances these guys use to dial things up a few notches (Prior was legendary in this regard) may speed up the breakdown process. There's just no way to repeatedly accelerate the arm/hand up to those kinds of speeds, then rapidly decelerate before punching through your leg, without hurting something eventually. It's not a motion we can do half a million times without consequences.
Pay me $100K/game and I'll give it my best, though.
