Traci Brooks is set to be inducted into the Impact Wrestling Hall Of Fame alongside Mike Tenay and Don West at Saturday’s Bound For Glory pay-per-view event.
During a recent edition of the “Battleground Podcast,” Brooks revealed that she wasn’t aware she’d be inducted until the announcement was made on-screen at Impact 1,000 and her reaction was legit. She said,
“Well, you saw my emotion. That was legit. I didn’t know it was happening. I remember it was like one-two-three. I remember being on the ground, and I remember thinking, ‘This is not a flattering position.’ I’m like, ‘Get up.’ So I remember getting up and celebrating with Frankie, and then all the sudden, Frankie grabs the microphone, I’m like, ‘What are you doing? What’s happening?’ Then they said it.”
She continued, “I’m an emotional mess. I don’t know how this is my life. Who gets this ending? Who gets to come back after 12 years, wrestle against two incredible, talented people like Alisha and Eddie, [with] my husband, who’s one of the greatest in the business, and then have my son in the ring, and I get announced for the Hall of Fame? I was a retired school mom, PTA member, baseball coach, and that was my life. Now, all of a sudden, I’m like, ‘Okay, things have changed a little bit.’ I never thought in my wildest dreams. I love this business. I got in it to be a wrestler, and I never thought past that. Especially when I was a stay-at-home mom for almost 11 years. I never thought that.”
