Just minutes after hearing about LuFisto suffering a stroke, I check twitter to see Dixie Carter has tweeted about TNA Knockout, Daffney, getting injured.
WrestlingNewsWorld.com also posted up the following report on their website:
TNA Knockout Daffney was seriously injured in a tryout match prior to the start of tonight’s Impact taping from Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. Daffney was working with independent worker Betsy Ruth (who also works as Miss Betsy). Rosie is a student of the Team 3D Wrestling Academy.
The injury occurred when Betsy hit a bonsai drop off the ropes, crushing Daffney. Daffney laid motionless for several minutes as an ambulance was called and a stretcher was brought out. The bottom ring rope was removed to get her out.
Upon loading her on the stretcher, Daffney was moving her hands. Ring announcer Dave Penzer addressed the crowd, saying she is going to be OK but everything was done for precautionary purposes. Daffney is being transported to a near-by hospital.
This really is a very sad night for women’s wrestling. I hope the injury isn’t serious – it looked like TNA were finally going somewhere with Dafferz. We here at OhSoDivalicious wish her a speedy recovery also.
