WATCH: New Name Announced For Wrestling Hall Of Fame

That’s a special one. There are all kinds of awards and accomplishments that can be won during a wrestler’s career, but it is rare to see anything that acknowledges their entire career. A championship reign usually only looks at a small portion of their career, as the title reign will end one day. It means a lot to see someone’s entire career recognized and that is the case again. Over the weekend at Knockouts Knockdown, Impact Wrestling announced that Awesome Kong will be inducted into the company’s Hall of Fame at Bound For Glory on October 23. Christy Hemme returned to announce the induction, with Kong appearing and dedicating her induction to Daffney, who passed away last month. Kong wrestled for Impact Wrestling in multiple stints, where she is a two time Knockouts Champion and a one time Knockouts Tag Team Champion. She also worked in Japan, Ring of Honor, AEW and briefly in WWE before announcing her retirement in August of this year. This was a special moment. Check out the an..

No matter how much training or experience someone has, a wrestler has the chance of getting banged up or hurt. Some of those injuries can wreck a wrestler’s career for good and end any chances of them wrestling again. That is the case with a former star. Former WWE star Christy Hemme recently took part in a virtual autograph signing for East Coast Autograph Auctions where she confirmed that she was unable to wrestle another match. Hemme said that she would wrestle again if not for her neck being damaged. The neck injury forced her to retire from the ring, with her most recent match taking place on November 14, 2011. Hemme wrestled for both WWE and Impact Wrestling while also serving other roles, including ring announcer and backstage interviewer. Hemme did a lot over the years.

What a nice guy. The big story coming out of WWE this week was the situation involving Mickie James’ belongings being sent to her in a trash bag following her release. This did not sit well with the higher ups in WWE and the company’s talent relations department was shaken up as a result. This included some major firings, and now we know a bit more about one of the people fired. Mark Carrano, a longtime member of the talent relations department was let go over the situation. Former NXT interviewer Christy Olson, co-host of the Wrestling Inc. Daily Podcast, discussed Carrano on the most recent episode and said that she was not surprised by him being fired.

There was a bit more to Carrano than that though and it is not exactly pleasant. Several former WWE wrestlers have spoken about Carrano, ..
