Traci Brooks comments on getting inducted into the IMPACT Hall of Fame.
During IMPACT 1000, IMPACT Wrestling revealed that Traci Brooks will be inducted into the IMPACT Hall of Fame at IMPACT Bound For Glory 2023. Brooks retired from the ring in 2015, but she returned at IMPACT Slammiversary, where she accompanied Frankie Kazarian to the ring. The duo also teamed up at IMPACT 1000. Throughout her time with IMPACT, Brooks has had various roles, including manager.
Speaking with Nickie Booshie and Driune Santana on the Battleground Podcast, Brooks was asked to describe how she was feeling when she found out about her Hall of Fame induction.
“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. 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," Brooks said.
