Will Ferrell blasts cheerleader with a basketball, who turns out to be TNA's Taryn Terrell

Late last night, some stories started making the rounds in the sports world that Will Ferrell was filming a movie at halftime of a Pelicans game in New Orleans. During the course of filming, he blasts some poor cheerleader with a basketball.

Watch this:

That cheerleader, it turns out, is none other than TNA's own, Taryn Terrell, who had herself a blast taking a ball to the face from the funny man:

Here's the thing: Most of the stories written on this make no mention of the fact that Terrell is the cheerleader in question, which means TNA was given no publicity.

Because of course, right?
