Frankie Kazarian Says Surprising Traci Brooks With TNA Hall Of Fame Reveal ‘Meant the World’

Frankie Kazarian surprised Traci Brooks in 2023 by announcing she was going into the TNA Hall of Fame, a moment he reflected on in a new interview. Kazarian made the announcement in September of 2023 on the 1,000th episode of Impact, and he spoke about it in an interview with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp. You can see the highlights below:

On surprising Brooks with the announcement: “It meant the world to me, man. I’ve always said regardless of what happens in pro wrestling, I’ll always be grateful to the pro wrestling business because it brought her and I together. We now have a wonderful son, 12 year old son. So it means the world to me. That moment was very cool. Tracy was very content riding off into the sunset and becoming a mom and she’s the best mom in the world. With circumstances, they were what they were. There was a storyline in place that brought her back.”

On his final tag team match with Brooks: “She got to have one final match with me and we got to announce her as the next Hall of Fame recipient with my son standing in the ring. Very emotional night, very special night. Her and my son are everything to me. So to have that and to share that with my family and to share my family with the world meant everything. I know it meant the world to Tracy. She, from a small farm town in Canada, never thought in a million years she’d be in a wrestling Hall of Fame. So ah this is just one of those [things where you] have your really bad nights in this business and your really good nights. That was one of the really good nights.”
