Seems to me that MJ has always had those tendencies to fight back.It has been a long time since I saw it, but I'm still impressed by a scene in The Jacksons An American Dream where little Mike is at the table and Joe is there larger than life and he looks over and says with foreboding 'whose shoe is that'. Little Mike gets up to put it away but in the scene you can see his resentment building and then he picks that shoe up and hurls it at Joe with all his might before running for his life. How courageous for such a little boy to stand up like that and knowing what the consequences would most likely be. So, yeah... he's hardwired to fight back I'd say.
I do believe he used doubles in the latter years. In Bucharest, he obviously uses a double at the end of Thriller. Once he turns away and puts on the mask, it's not him. Look at the body and it's plain to see because the face is covered. As soon as it's over he's on the cherry picker. Also I do not believe for one second that he flew out of that arena. Too much of an insurance risk for that to ever happen. Never would they risk that kind of dangerous stunt with Michael.
