She’s rather young. Sometimes wrestling goes a little more extreme than it might need to be. This could be in the form of a violent weapon spot, someone saying something rather intense or just something that you don’t see very often. The latter was the case over the weekend, and it’s something that has gotten quite a bit of attention. Whether that’s a good thing isn’t exactly clear.
There’s not much of a way to describe this one. Check it out for yourselves:
At a recent indy event in California, Mae Young Classic competitor Priscilla Kelly pulled a bloody tampon from her trunks and pressed it into the face of her opponent. The spot has received a lot of attention, both positive and negative, from various members of the wrestling world including Kelly herself. Here are a few of the reactions, both positive and negative:
Hey guys. Ya know, it's all fake.
21+ show with a bar. Can't take life so serious all the time.
Call me what you will… ?

Really had no intentions of going "viral", I just thought it was funny. But thanks, guys!

People want my take so I'll give it direct to you–I expect nothing else from outlaw mud show "rasslers", male or female, cause none of you can work. But to defend your bullshit by starting "Well, it's all fake"? THAT'S why you, dick guy & others are killing wrestling. Fuck you. https://t.co/XZmYhvLBAI

I’m seeing this post of a women’s match that got disgusting and I’m not gonna repost it Bc it’s seriously a disgrace. Why??? Whoever thought that was a spot that was gonna get a pop and was worth it….. NO. how about telling a story in the ring with your wrestling instead?

Opinion: I’m going to put this as nicely as I can and say that this isn’t for me. I’m a rather traditional wrestling fan and I really don’t care to see something that is there for the sake of gross out humor and shock value. As Gail Kim says in her tweet, tell a story with your wrestling skills instead. This might have been for an adult show, but that doesn’t mean adults want to see it.
