I think to me where I draw the line is does it look cool or tacky.
The tack spot is overused now, but when it happened for the first time on mainstream wrestling (WCW/WWF) with Mick Foley it looked cool at least. And still can sometimes when the guys entire back has tacks on it
The stapler stuff just looks lame because its just not that interesting and tacks too much coordination to work well.
In the end wrestling should look cool, be safe, and not actually hurt your opponent ... and too often these gimmick matches don't achieve any of that (not saying this match was that because I actually missed it this weekend)
