I'm glad they are doing this, but, I wonder how they are gonna play it off this storyline? If bischoff says no more chair shots then he'll come across as a face. Also, Anderson saying it was not intended to be hit in the head just goes to show that TNA took an opportunity and made a storyline out of it, in essence they made it up on the whim. They did the best they could with the situation I suppose. You could look at this booking decision two different ways, both of which I'm not gonna get into foreseeing the can of worms that awaits to be opened At least something positive will come outta this. It will be like WWE's ban on Steel Chairs to the head. It won't be referenced on Television, but TNA gave themselves an out to not even have to pretend in one reality that they're allowed and in another they're not, as they can still have chair shots to the head, if they're protected, so TNA keeps that element of Wrestling in a safer form, and they're able to cut down on the chances of something like what happened to Anderson taking place, again. gotcha

lol, Jeff Hardy always s everything up. Nah kidding. In all seriousness, I'm glad. You don't need to get a concussion and 50 stitches in your forehead to get over, but the person hitting you needs to make sure you're protected too.

It's about time after Jeff literally split Anderson's head open.

Thank God, TNA is slowly smartening up.

In an interview with fanhouse.com, Mr. Anderson has revealed TNA has banned chair shots to the head. "TNA has absolutely thrown down the gauntlet and said no more unprotected chair shots... And every time there is a chair involved in the ring, the agents will come up and say please make sure for me that you are not going to ... that you're going to put your hand up. Please tell me you're going to put your hand up or it's going to be a back shot or something like that." Anderson, who is currently out of action due to an errant chair shot from Jeff Hardy, reminded everyone that incident was an accident. "The chair shot that I received from Jeff Hardy was not intended to hit the back of my head. I heard through the grapevine that there were some people who were concerned about that. That was an accident and, you know what, in our business, accidents are going to happen." Makes me wonder, will it help, or hinder TNA? i would think most likely neither. i dont think banning unprotected chair shots to the head will make TNA awesome, but it wont hurt at all. Thats if its handled correctly. if handled correctly this should just come off as business as usual. btw does anyone think the higher ups in TNA r part of the group that really wants to increase awareness for concussions? i dont have a problem with that but i cant think of any other reason for this whole thing being such a big story. plenty of other people have had concussions but nothing is really made of it. anyway i say good for them for turning this into a storyline. its for a good cause.
