Gail Km is a veteran of the pro wrestling business, so she’s been through her share of bumps and bruises in the past. Now, it appears that she is dealing with another setback after suffering a concussion at Impact 1000.
Gail Kim made a ring comeback at IMPACT 1000, joining forces with Awesome Kong, Jordynne Grace, Mickie James, and Trinity to secure victory against Angelina Love, Deonna Purrazzo, Gisele Shaw, Savannah Evans, and Tasha Steelz.
While in the match, Velvet Sky yanked Kim off the apron, causing her to hit her head on the mat. Following the episode’s broadcast, Kim disclosed that she had suffered a concussion. She emphasized in her Instagram post that she didn’t want anyone to blame Velvet Sky for the incident, as she fully understands the inherent risks in professional wrestling.
A fan video of that brutal spot went viral, and it was a bit upsetting to see. Gail Kim said that she’s okay after that brutal fall.
Gail Kim posted a video on Instagram along with a caption that made it clear that she is going to be okay. She had a lot more to say about the reaction that Velvet Sky received from fans after this spot.
After #IMPACT1000 someone posted a video clip from the match where I hit my head. I think it’s so important to show that what we do is high risk and also important to show the importance of following up with any injuries or trauma that occurs.
I didn’t want to initially show the clip but I thought in the end, it’s important to show everything. I want to stress here though:
I WILL NOT CONDONE ANY ATTACKING BEHAVIOR OR BULLYING TOWARDS VELVET OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THIS CLIP.
Professional Wrestling is a career we all enter knowing the risks we take when we perform for the fans. Shit happens. It’s not my first concussion and perhaps not my last.
This video is for information and educational purposes so that you may be able to take a step in the right direction if you experience something similar.
We will have to see how this situation pans out. Gail Kim was semi-retired from the ring, but it appears that she will be forced to take a bit more time. Either way, she’s not leaving the pro wrestling world, and she obviously has a lot to say.
