Working in media requires an ability to adapt to unique situations. Sometimes, it's providing breaking news updates in unexpected situations. Other times, it's being thrown onto a mat by a wrestler.

Fox News personality Abby Hornacek recently went for a wild ride while presenting a segment on television. Wrestler Kennedy Blades from Real American Freestyle "taught" her how to suplex someone. As it turns out, this involved a hands-on lesson.

The two women started facing each other but then Blades moved around and grabbed Hornacek from behind. The wrestler then lifted the Fox News personality off the ground and flung her onto the mat.
"Amazing," Hornacek said while laughing. "I don't think I can be a wrestler. The mic pack did not survive, but I did, luckily. I know that looked worse than it was, but that was a lot of fun."
The comment about the move looking worse makes sense. After all, Hornacek appeared to land on her face after the suplex. However, she later confirmed to her Fox co-hosts that she suffered no injuries during this lesson.
"I actually feel great, you guys," she said. "...Kennedy Blades is a true professional. Look, I showed up, and this was my idea. I want to set the record straight because I got a lot of comments like, 'Oh, Kennedy put you in danger!'
"She really didn't. I said, 'Please, Kennedy, can I please do this?' And she was so sweet. Just the kindest soul I've ever met."
So how did the Fox News personality avoid injury? Obviously, Blades is a professional wrestler who knows how to move other humans around with ease. Hornacek also received some guidance, which included being told to tuck her chin.
Hornacek entered the day with some idea of what to expect. She said she watched many videos of suplexes in preparation. She just didn't know exactly how she would land.
Still, everything appeared to work out just fine for the media personality, and she created a memory that will last a lifetime.
