Anderson also confirmed to The LAW that TNA has instituted a policy banning chair shots to the head, just as the WWE and Ring of Honor have done.

Wow thats a really good call and as much slack that TNA gets im glad they are taking steps to protect their wrestlers.

[Seth Drakin of Monster Crap]

It is honestly about time they did this.

About damn time. It took Mr Anderson getting brained before TNA decided to do the right thing. Chairshots to the head are longer cool and hardcore. Especially with the new studies out there currently.

Good to see they're finally doing this.

[MrBRulzOK]

I'll give credit where credit is due. Kudos TNA for following the leads of the other promotions and finally enacting this same restriction. We honestly don't need to see any more of these in any wrestling promotion period, but I'll settle for the big three at least. It would be impossible to stop everyone from getting away with these.

[The Ichi]

Thank god, TNA scared the crap out of me with two chairshots to the head this year. Good for them.

[Mozenrath]

A wise move.

Great to hear. I've been waiting for TNA to do this for a while. Its a shame that Anderson had to get his skull cracked open in order for TNA to put this into action.

This brings to mind a video about 5 reasons to watch TNA or something. I wish I had a link to it, but in the video one of the reasons to watch TNA was for chairshots to the head. Guess they learned their lesson.

[Can you afford to pay me, Gah]

Well about time they did. Just for the sake of the wrestlers. It used to be cool but now it just scary to think what really it does to a wrestler.

[Alex Shelley]

Thank you, TNA.

While it's a bit disappointing that it took what happened to Anderson to finally have this happen (at least I assume that's the reason they did it), I'm glad that they did and applaud them for it.

[dav]

Anyone else find it somewhat amusing that the reason they're banning chair shots to the head is because of a chair shot to the back?

I read this thread as TNA bans unprotected sex. What is wrong with me?!

It's good that we're finally realizing the dangers that unprotected chair shots can do, and TNA is wise for doing this.

[Krimzon]

Better late than never. Glad it's finally happened. Shame it took a legit concussion to get this to happen.

Guilty Conscience?

Good to see TNA taking a strive to tone down something that really is dangerous. Seems like sometimes they just do some of the more violent stuff just for the sake of doing.

Understand they want to be a edgier alternative, and they can still do that along with protecting the workers.

[Junkenstein]

Good call by TNA. That Anderson chair shot was just horrible, whether it was intended to be a head shot or not.

[Deleted]

A good move, but if their guys aim for the back and hit the head anyways, they should consider banning chairshots outright.(yes, I know that doesn't happen regularly)
