TNA star Taryn Terrell has opened up about the brutal injuries she sustained during her intense Last Knockout Standing match with Gail Kim at Slammiversary this past weekend, telling TMZ she hopes to be taken more seriously as a wrestler following the match.

She said: “People underestimate me for being blonde and bubbly, but I’m an athlete, and I have a passion for wrestling … I’ll do whatever it takes to prove people wrong.”

Taryn also posted pictures of her injuries on Instagram, showing the numerous bruises she sustained in the hard-fought match with Gail.

With such a major website talking about the match, Gail and Taryn certainly accomplished the task of getting the public interested in women’s wrestling!
