Re: TNA IS reprehensible

I'll agree that TNA use hardcore (and gimmicks in general) far too much, but to call them reprehensible simply for having Daffney take a tack bump is mis-guided in my opinion. Especially with your wording of it.

Daffney took the bump of Taylor and she took it well, it played perfectly into the psychology of the match (which I'll admit is somewhat of a stretch, but is still relevent) and the fact that you're complaining about it without watching it nullifies you point mate. You haven't seen it, so can't say that it didn't bring something to the match, and therefore cannot call it reprehensible. The storyline and Daffney's gimmick meant this was always a possibility for her, and watching it it did nothing but make the match more impactful and provide an entertaining finish to an entertaining brawl.

It's sexist and vaguely insulting to say that women shouldn't be taking these bumps. If they want to do it, let them. Roxxi was hard-wayed when he head was shaved, but afterwards did blade... Her response to questions about that in interviews was that it added to her character and her matches and that she was more than happy to do it. The women are trained exactly the same way the guys are, so why can't they taking these bumps?
