TNA star Chris Sabin was injured tonight during an Impact taping for the episode scheduled to air on 10/29. Sabin and partner Alex Shelley were wrestling Team 3D when Sabin took a bad bump on his neck while working with Brother Ray.
I was told it was an extremely scary moment but Sabin did eventually walk out of the ring. Sabin was diagnosed as having suffered a stinger during the match.
Interestingly, I was also told that when Kevin Nash came out later in the taping for a live promo directed at the World Elite group, he actually addressed the injury. I was told that Nash said he was glad that TNA was a taped show and then "tore down the company" for not stopping the match after they learned of Sabin's injury. Nash also continued his rant backstage, Nash was screaming to whoever would listen that the production of the match should have been halted because of Sabin's injury and was loudly complaining that the company continued on with the match when it was obvious Sabin had injured his neck.
When Nash went out before the crowd and made reference to the incident and that the company should have halted the match, he was going into business for himself and shooting. It wasn't something scripted for him or added to his promo at the last second by TNA creative. I suspect those comments will be edited off the 10/29 Impact broadcast.
One rumor making the rounds is that Nash was screaming at Team 3D for the situation, but according to witnesses I spoke to, there isn't anything to that. I was told Nash wasn't yelling at 3D or any other talents during his tirade but more screaming and "throwing a tantrum to anyone in ear shot" about the production truck not being responsible to the wrestlers.
There's no word yet as to whether TNA management spoke to Nash following his outburst and unscripted comments on the mic.
