10 Times Wrestlers Ate Thumbtacks
9. Daffney (TNA Impact, 2009)
The only woman to appear on this list, Daffney was one female seemingly desperate to prove that the girls could do everything the boys were willing to. That's the only explanation logical enough to clarify why she agreed to land back-first on some thumbtacks during an otherwise throwaway television show.
On the June 25, 2009 episode of TNA's Impact Wrestling show, the former WCW star faced Taylor Wilde in a match dubbed a '10,000 Thumbtacks' affair. The stipulation was simple; someone was going onto those tacks. After teasing that it might be Wilde, it turned out to naturally be Daffney, and it looked agonising.
As she attempted a Clothesline, Wilde ducked and scooped Daffney up into her arms. Flailing her legs around, Daffney knew what was coming. She kicked her limbs out, ready to be hurled, and shortly thereafter landed with a thump on the thumbtacks below.
Worse yet, her arms landed flat too, meaning they soaked up a lot of the punishment. That cannot have been fun.
