I don't get it?

Did Abyss ever win the title?

The guy hit the chair with the bat and the bat ricocheted into the other guys face and broke his eye socket. They cut to Lashley getting beaten by white folks really quick.

Omg ouch. Now I see it.

His reaction is clearly "OH SHIT."

Cornette put Solomon Crowe in his place and Chris Hero blasted him also.

when did they do that match about a month and a half ago? I am surprised info about it did not come out before Thursday.

Jesus Christ that is brutal.

What an asshole, seriously. Should be fired for that. Can't even understand what he was trying to do. Wreckless and indefensible tbh

Yeah. I don't get what the logic of the spot is from an aesthetic standpoint.

The matches are taped like 3 weeks before they actually air.

I mean yeah, he fucked up,but accidents happen.

Not quite as adept with a baseball bat than HHH then.

Didnt Kurt Angle crush Sting in the face in TNA?

No

I dont think he should be fired. But i agree. I dont know what was being accomplished by putting a chair on his stomach and then hitting the chair with the bat. It really makes no sense. It makes more sense to not unfold the chair and hit him in the stomach. In fact, thats what should have happened if you're even going to do a bat/chair spot. Unfolding the chair is just fucking dumb to begin with. Regardless if he hits Eddie in the face on the ricochet or not.

Clearly the spot was to unfold the chair and set it up on Eddie Edwards chest because Edwards grabs the chair and tries to position it. The question is why? Who in TNA is giving the ok for these things? Why not just lay the chair across his chest and hit him with the bat then? Why unfold it? It makes no sense what so ever.

Or better yet, if you insist on unfolding the chair for some asinine reason. How about turn it the other way so ricochet is taken out of play ( atleast to the face. Edwards probably wouldnt have been able to make babies afterwards, but whatever). Someone in TNA backstage is ok'ing this stuff and they really need to be fired or demoted.

Erm, yes. I know you have some knowledge of the business and have wrestled yourself. Also realise accidents happen, but it was a completely stupid stunt to try in the first place. It was sloppy, dangerous and needless and he has seriously injured another performer.

It's at best reckless and at worst completely stupid and irresponsible.

A suspension at the very least

Whole spot was done very recklessly by Callihan from his bad positioning to the dumb idea of the chair not being folded.

Only bright side is Edwards moving the chair towards his chest likely saved him from suffering an even worse head injury assuming the bat still ricochets.

LOL. I swear Kurt Angle on TNA went to hit Sting and Sting missed the bat catch and got hit in the face. Same deal man. Total botch. In this recent case, no way the wrestler is to blame. Someone backstage should have known better to allow this shit.

We as wrestling fans, complain and bitch, but you wanna know why you dont see shit like this in WWE? It's simple. There is a group of people that oversee this type of junk. They dont allow this mess. Someone in TNA dropped the fucking ball. Someone let Eddie Edwards take a bat to the face. It's a joke. It's not the bat swinging wrestlers fault. Are you serious? No way its his fault. You think he went out there on a pre taped show and pulled that shit? You're dumb if you think that. It's TNA's faut. There was so many different ways they can pull that spot. Whoever is running backstage is fucking to blame and is a fucking moron

Someone gave the ok in TNA.

Who gave the ok for that stunt?

There was an instant in wcw where Liz decked Sting with his bat and I swear it was botched as Sting dropped like a sack of potatoes.

But yeah, I think you blame Callahan for being sloppy, but the full blame falls on the idiot who approved a dangerous and unnecessary spot. There was no purpose for it. A simple chair shot, or even driving the top of the bat's barrel into Edwards' ribs would've sufficed. That swinging the bat at the chair spot is horse shit

I dunno, I think there is a difference between botching and being ridiculous. Missing a bat catch is different to me than trying to hit a folding chair on top of a guy, which is so stupid in itself. And then swinging so wildly that you fracture a guys face?

Will always be a difference of opinion about things like this, but at the end of the day, you have to think about what is likely to injure your opponent.

Felt the same way tbh when AJ was breaking necks doing the Styles Clash. Wasn't worth it for such a shitty looking move even though it wasn't his fault. This is worse because it very clearly is his fault and what he was trying to do looks ridiculous anyway.

Very unfortunate accident and I hope Edwards is ok. At the end of the day, we must remember that these wrestlers are working for a paycheck and are trying to feed themselves. I personally do not feel comfortable in laughing at the mishaps of a man trying to support his family or dependents.

Who are those guys? How is TNA still around?

He had a crushed orbital. He wasn't ok. Nobody is laughing at Eddie Edwards.

Fuck Solomon Crowe. Just proved that CZW trash doesn't deserve a shot. Just like porn stars can't make the jump. Garbage like him should stay with the lightubes.

Yeah, no one who has wrestled in CZW has ever proved themselves on the big stage.

is abyss still the booker responsible for matches or did some one else take that. they need al snow back.

They need to watch the CHW archives and learn how to be safe while they are using weapons. CHW would never allow such things.

I agree, as much as the main stream media rags on CHW, CHW has never had quite an injury like this.

I disappointed that this isn't a thread full of TNA gifs and videos.

We can fix this.

This is why the bat is a bad weapon in wrestling. Nothing looks real when you swing a bad unless you really swing it. But if you really swing it, you really can hurt people.
