Spoiler: Impact Inducts Former Champion Into Hall of Fame

:impact:

Impact Wrestling is currently taping shows from the Skyway Studios in Nashville. One of the shows taped yesterday was the Knockouts Knockdown event and during the event, Impact inducted a new member to its Hall of Fame.

After officially retiring from the ring at NWA Empowerrr, Awesome Kong was inducted into the Impact Hall of Fame, according to a report from Fightful. Kong said she dedicated her induction to Daffney. A special Daffney memorial Monster’s Ball match will take place to honor her on the Knockouts Knockdown event as well.

Awesome Kong is a 2x Knockouts Champion and also won the Queen of the Knockouts tournament in 2015. Her long-running feud with Gail Kim is often considered one of the greatest programs in the history of the promotion. Kim was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2016.

Impact Wrestling’s Hall of Fame dates back to 2012 when Sting was the inaugural inductee.

• Sting (2012)
• Kurt Angle (2013)
• Team 3-D (Bully Ray & Devon) (2014)
• Jeff Jarrett (2015)
• Earl Hebner (2015)
• Gail Kim (2016)
• Abyss (2018)
• Ken Shamrock (2020)
• Awesome Kong (2021)

TNA almost has a better Hall of Fame than WWE does :P

Awesome Kong deserves it no doubt.

Bunch of ex wwe guys

^^ LOL. How many of these had a greater WWE career than TNA career? The only one I can think of is Angle. But if you ask me, he was used as a bigger star in TNA than in WWE. The others on this list, except for referee Earl Hebner, are truly TNA-made and not WWE.

Dudleyz made in ECW and WWE :P sane with Shamrock. Sting wcw

^^ Sting's career is divided between WCW and TNA, you cannot deny that. Abyss was a creation of TNA. Jarrett created TNA. Gail Kim and Kurt Angle's career's hit their highlights while being in TNA.

You cannot always use the argument " Ex WWE guy " because if a wrestler is lucky, most wrestlers wont turn down a chance to wrestle for WWE. So whetever we like it or not, most pro wrestlers with a bit of fame will be ex WWE wrestlers at some point.
