TNA crew member was killed on Sunday night following the Slammiversary pay-per-view when a piece of scaffolding broke and the man fell 15 to 20 feet to the concrete below. WMCTV reports that the man was rushed to a local hospital where he later died. The man's name has not been released and authorities are investigating the accident.

In related news, a second worker with a local outfit named Crew 1 that was brought in for the event lost his thumb when the scaffolding collapsed. He was taken to the hospital and is expected to recover. His name is also being withheld. For more information and a news video regarding both accidents, visit WMCTV.com.

This is the opposite of what they needed. CNN will be over this one, so they can start bashing wrestling again. Although, lucky for TNA, they will probably end up blaming WWE for another wrestling death...

Cross the line. ;)

But really, if CNN jumps on this, that's a lot of media exposure for TNA. Imagine if the ratings increase from this, lmao.

Trust me, it wont help them. Remember how everyyone went after wwe for "not being safe" and all that. If Angle, Christian, Steiner, etc, cant help TNA's ratings, a guy falling 20 feet to his ultimate death probably wont either...
But Im guessing your just joking, lol.

Man every time there's an incident concerning humans being injured or killed, it's always in/near my area! First, the damn Grizzlies seats that were the F'N section right beside me fall, now this?! BALLS, now I regret not convincing my dad to let me go!

Sucks for the workers, whoever they were.

a 44 year old man still has to beg his dad to go to a show?

LOL... Jhar is just a liar, he signed up saying he was 44, he also said he worked for TNA, and lol, in his sig it says "if you want to read actual TNA scrips, PM me"
:rofl:

Anyways, too bad for this guy, and his family... At least it happened after the show though, and not before.

Might have been one reason for the death, going on that basis there are going to be more deaths in the near future.. :y:

Meh, if this gets any attention. Which I doubt it will get much at all, it'll be good news for TNA. Hell even just having someone on CNN say their name under any circumstances is a good thing,

It sucks that the guy died in all, but TNA's name out there is a good thing, but I can definitely smell lawsuit.

Wow that sucks. Poor guy. Sure, this will get TNA media attention, but imo, its the WRONG media attention.
