The sad story of Shannon "Daffney" Spruill

[! JDM The Professional !]

Btw my take on the merch sales was not a shot at TNA at all, just an observation.

lol I know dude

jack honest that one of mystery of TNA , because they are a private company , we can not see there sales figure or know if they are turning a profit.  all we can is look at the what they are doing and  they same to follow the same pattern that WCW was doing in there later stages before they were brought out .

now it not a given the TNA is going to die.  hell maybe there going to have a upswing and start  to improve in there product and other aspects . but right now the center does not hold . They get so much negative press , warranted or unwarranted it does not help there image as whole.

The Daffeny thing is just one of many things that come out of the backstage.  is it true , don't know . ( tend to think so only because it one of many stories about bad dealings when it comes to there females  that are are not high profile in the company )  

my opinion is that they have a few people at the top that dragging the whole thing down. if they can root out some of the bad elements in the company before things get out of hand than , I see them  taking a turn for the better. The window for that is shrinking and there maybe a point where there beyond savable , if something is not done

Nothing wrong with being passionate about something you believe in mate. I am sure if someone was ragging on ROH you'd have a voice as well.

Fair point.  I wouldn't invest as much time and energy as you have in the last year or so.  But I get where you're coming from.

Nothing wrong with being passionate about something you enjoy.

I know this thread has got WAY off topic.  But here's an interesting bit of news I've just read which kind of relates to the original topic:


UFC issued a press release on Monday to announce that 350 UFC and Strikeforce fighters are now eligible for customized accident insurance coverage. The insurance will cover accidental injuries suffered by the fighters during training as well as non-training incidents such as automobile accidents.

"The new policy adds 24-hour worldwide medical life insurance and dental coverage, as well as emergency medical evacuation," reads the press release. "Zuffa will pay 100 percent of the premiums for its athletes and have an employee dedicated to handling and filing all claims."


UFC also class their fighters as independent contractors, like WWE and TNA.  I wonder if they will follow UFC's lead by finally offering insurance cover to their wrestlers?  Here's hoping!
