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.

Popular Impact Wrestling Star Becomes Free Agent

She might have some su-itors, like in Impact Wrestling. Women’s wrestling has come so far in the last few years that it is almost impossible to fathom. The days of women as novelty acts who go out there for the sake of being eye candy are long gone and that is the kind of thing that is going to help move wrestling forward. It has also opened the door for several women’s divisions who never had the chance before. Now one of the more talented wrestlers in the world could be up for grabs. The Impact Wrestling Knockouts division has been one of the high points of women’s wrestling before the WWE Women’s Revolution. Led by the likes of Gail Kim and Awesome Kong, the division was the first mainstream promotion to take women’s wrestling seriously. It is still a big deal in the promotion, but they may be about to lose one of their more unique talents.
