Then you think about it, the Kurt "Perc" Angle, Jeff Hardy story has a lot to tell as well about how TNA cared about their talent mental and physical health too... Really WTF Dixie did with this Company. CM Punk and other WWE stars talked about how WWE did not care about talent health, but this "uncare" is on another level in TNA. And in the end we get stories like Daffney tragedy.

Ya know what? As uncomfortable as Piper calling out Russo for Owen's death might have been, I will forever insist that it's justified. The whole gimmick that led to his death was Russo's idea, and it was spite booking cuz Owen didn't want to do a more tawdry angle. I don't blame Piper for taking his opportunity to chew him out at all. Also, I knew about Daffney's death, but I didn't know the details. That poor woman, I hope her soul found some peace.
@isitoveryet95254 ай бұрын
Disagree. The only reason it was said was for ratings, which makes it gross. Plus, McMahon has shot down plenty of unhinged Russo gimmicks, & he easily could’ve shot down that one too….especially since Owen was scared of it to begin with. The boss should get the blame, especially since VKM was the who had final say on everything. A lot of blame should also be on the company who did the harnesses. It could’ve been done safely, but they fd up bad.

The Daffney thing was worse according to what I've heard. she was encouraged by those backstage including Mick Foley and Vince Russo to take big bumps in order to further her career, except these bumps did serious damage to her and the company still didn't give her any push, she was always treated as a minor character. Then she took a really big bump which left her unable to wrestle but the company released her and didn't help her with medical bills. Unable to work anymore and still suffering physically, she eventually took her own life.
@medes55975 ай бұрын
Daffney said Foley told her not to take such big bumps for weekly shows and if she really wanted to take such bumps, she should save them for big shows. Russo however pushed her to do more and more, claiming that he'd write more material for her and give her a push. However behind the scenes he was running her down for not being "hot" enough, and saying that all she could do was bump so they should just use her to her heat. So Russo is guilty as charged but Foley seems to have been trying to help her.

@@Filmation77 I mean tna lied to her about how many people watched the show and so on. But her main story is that a casting director saw her on tna, and thought she was ridiculously over the top and rejected her outright. As bad as TNA was to talent, I don't think a guy thinking you were bad on a show is their fault. It definitely wasn't cool how they tracked her down and made her life miserable but I'm still skeptical of her story about it costing her a career. I'm not sure her career would have gone much differently without tna.
