www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=lFHqkKsXnJ0Watch at your own risk. Now, I've seen a lot of hardcore wrestling in my day, and nothing has made me cringe like this. I've never felt wrestling is truly trashy until I saw this footage. I normally support Beyond Wrestling - they're a great company - but I won't be buying a show that puts this out as "entertainment". I can't believe there's people defending this, too. Wrestling fans can truly make me sick sometimes. You can say she got her hands up, but what good did it do when Dickinson swings it for the f***ing fences anyway? It offered no protection. It didn't feel like two people working any more, it felt like witnessing a woman beater getting cheered for being a violent prick. And that's exactly what it was. Absolute bullshit. And Dickinson is of course being a dick about it on Twitter. Get f***ed, Dickinson. You're scum.

The amount of drooling bloodlust a large population of wrestling fans seem to get regarding violence against women is both unsettling and mind-boggling.
Heck, look at any video with any connection to ECW and there'll surely be comments nostalgically reminiscing about days of women getting beaten in the ring.

That's not wrestling, that's straight up assault and battery.

just watched it, that was major bull crap. Protected or not he just unloaded on her which is just amazing. I'll be very shocked if she didn't get a concussion from that. Not to mention that she wasn't protected at all on that power bomb.
Very sickening.

I don't even want to watch. I'm happy a lot of the love affair with hardcore wrestling is gone. Weapons can truly enhance a story when used right, not just randomly because "hey. It's cool"

I'll just throw in some Youtube comments here, because they're always "quality":
Randy Hardy -everyone saying "this is so wrong" are hypocrites.. most of you probably trended give divas a chance and said they can do EVERYTHING men can and then now this is discusting? this is was the men do so if women can do what men do why is this vile and disturbing? idiots
13 likes.
James Pelletier -How is this any worse than what you saw in the original ECW or in The Attitude Era?
6 likes.
iamsiaho -to all you stupid SWJ bitches: 1) wrestling is fake 2) if we are all equal, a man, in a violent sport, should be just as entitled to hit a woman as he is another man 3) if wrestling WERE real, you should be applauding this STRONG WOMAN for making it in a MANS sport, rather than doing something feminine and demeaning, like play tennis, field hockey, or, god forbid, cheer-leading. suck my dick.

The chair was one thing...but powerbombing into the bottom turnbuckle made it way too much.

Ugh.
It's like they saw Dixie Carter getting put through a table, and decided they wanted to be even more unsafe because they have a trained worker doing it.

Sickening? No Way. That was pretty awesome. I seen more brutal and harder spots involving women in WWF, TNA and Japanese Wrestling.

I honestly am not super happy watching unprotected spots in general anymore, after what we know now. The once awesome clip of Big Show swinging Rey into the turnbuckle on the stretcher is hard to watch now when all I can focus on is his head bouncing like a basketball, since he was strapped in and couldn't protect himself.
It's just not worth it.

If this happened to a male, there would be no outrage. She chose to do this spot, so I see nothing wrong with it. It seems that most of the world has become so PC and soft.

It has nothing to do with gender, though. Nothing in the slightest. No one is disputing that Kimber Lee is talented and can do what men can. When she's wrestling, she's pretty good; deserving of a top spot. The problem is Dickinson wailing her - unprotected - as hard as possible and giving her a very unsafe move afterwards. Male or female, that's terrible. Especially in this "PC" world, as you call it. It's a safer world where people learn from the mistakes of the past and move forward in protecting others, but feel free to give it a negative association all you want. The world hasn't become more soft, they've become smarter.

I don't think I'll ever 'get' hardcore wrestling. That chair shot was idiotic, man or woman.

I still love this mindset that being proactive about concussions and head injuries or just safety in general is "PC and soft" and "wussifying our sports". Not just in regards to wrestling, but I've had this same discussion over football, hockey, car racing, you name it.
We all know that REAL MEN slur their speech when they're fifty and REAL MEN forget how to tie their shoes and so on, and so on.

It's just basic stupidity, especially for the woman to allow full-on chairshots to her head.

Why, when there's all this documented research into head injuries and the long-term effects of concussions, do people still friggin' insist on chairshots to the head? It's ridiculous. I was linked to LuFisto weighing in on it earlier. Should be spread around and be required reading for anyone who watched that video.
