Okay, a daredevil wrestler is basically my "turn of a phrase" code for "spot monkey" but in a more respectful way because the "spot monkey" term is disrespectful in my eyes.
In my opinion, TNA's best daredevil has to be Elix Skipper. Besides his memorable Cage-Walk, I feel that his performance at Bound For Glory cements that in my mind.
During the Ultimate X match, he hit a cross-body from the top of the X-Cable Supports, he took a neckbreaker from the cables down to the mat, and he even took a Border Toss out of the ring onto two other people.
He obviously trusts his fellow performers and has nerves of steel, which makes up for the fact that he is not that good at much else in wrestling. He doesn't sell much, has no real psychology, and always sounds awkward on the microphone, but his amazing athleticism shows why he deserves a spot on the roster, especially in a stable surround by other guys who can handle the before-mentioned weaknesses.
So, there are my points. Anyone else have a favorite daredevil?
