Steve Maclin: “TNA Sacrifice Was One Of The Scariest Moments Of My Career”
Maclin got back in the ring for the first time since the injury.
Headlining TNA Wrestling’s Sacrifice special on March 27th was Mike Santana defending the TNA World Championship against Steve Maclin.
Early in the bout, Santana delivered a kick to Maclin’s face, and it landed flush. The ringside medical staff, referees, and TNA President Carlos Silva came over to check on Maclin. Eddie Edwards jetted to the ring and started brawling with Santana, and the main event was ultimately called off.
Taking to Instagram, Maclin wrote about the situation. He described it as the scariest moment of his career and added that for the first time since the incident, he got back in the ring under the supervision of trainer and TNA producer, Ace Steel.
TNA Sacrifice was one of the scariest moments of my career.
My first instinct was to keep going, push through, and finish the match. Because that’s just who I am, how Marines are hardwired.
But it only took one voice to protect me from myself. Ace looked at me, calm as ever, and said, “You’re done.”
No hesitation. No debate. I said “yes sir.”
Sometimes you need that coach,
that dad voice, someone you have the upmost respect for, to make the call you won’t make yourself.I got back in the ring today for the first time in 2 weeks under Ace’s supervision. I can’t thank you enough.
You might have dropped me but you CAN’T FU*KING KILL ME. #MACLIN
