More Details On Lady Frost And Impact Wrestling

Lady Frost and Impact Wrestling are not currently on the best terms. Impact denied Frost’s request for a release, which has led to Frost not appearing in the promotion, and not being paid per the stipulations of her deal.

Fightful Select recently confirmed that Frost was recently asked by Impact to put over Masha Slamovich, with reports saying that Frost and Impact ceased communications shortly after that, confirming a recent PWInsider report that said similar.

Slamovich has been on a serious winning streak in Impact Wrestling, having not lost in the promotion since September of 2021, most recently defeating Deonna Purrazzo on an episode of Impact Wrestling, the wrestler that dealt Slamovich her September 2021 defeat. Before heading to Impact Wrestling, Slamovich wrestled on two occasions for All Elite Wrestling, losing to Penelope Ford and Hikaru Shida on episodes of “AEW Dark” and “AEW Dark: Elevation.”

Frost has still not been released from her contract, despite Frost requesting it in June, and she even went as far as pleading her case to Leonard Asper, the CEO of Impact’s parent company Anthem. Frost was last booked for an Impact event in April, during the promotions tapings in Dallas, TX, despite needing an undisclosed medical procedure. Frost reportedly lost money on the tapings, as Impact made her pay out of pocket for hotel and travel expenses. Frost initially signed with Impact Wrestling in October 2021, answering an open challenge from Deonna Purrazzo. Impact wrestling has yet to comment on the situation publicly.

Last Rodeo For Mickie James

Mickie James returned to the Impact Zone on Thursday night for an announcement regarding her future. Signs pointed toward retirement, but that wasn’t the case. James announced she’s saddling up for one last rodeo to chase the Knockouts Championship, however, there is a catch.

James took center stage for her announcement. November will be 24 years since first stepping into a wrestling ring with a prayer and a dream. Over half her life has been living, breathing, bleeding, and crying for this business that she loves so much.

The last few years were a whirlwind journey. When she was released from WWE to feel like being thrown out with garbage, negative criticism flooded her mind. It was the fans that brought her back to be empowered for the greatest run of her career returning to Impact. James won the Knockouts Championship for the fourth time and was in a PPV main event for a Texas Deathmatch.

Then, James lost the title to Tasha Steelz. Protege and friend Chelsea Green betrayed her and beat her twice in the ring. That sent James back to negative thoughts that she couldn’t hang anymore with the new crop of talent.

James went home to do some soul searching. What more does she need to prove? James only wanted to make the business a better place for women, where they could be seen as equals.

James never wanted to hang on too long to be a shell of her former self. She doesn’t know if she can compete with the best anymore, but she has to find out. James will not be retiring. She is going to test herself in a quest to be the best. James isn’t asking for a title shot. She wants to earn it the same way she earned everything in life, with dirt in her eyes and grit in her teeth.

James issued an open challenge to anyone and everyone in the Knockouts division. She will build her way back to the top. James is coming for the Knockouts Championship.

Even though James is not retiring at this time, there is a catch. If she loses on this journey, then that’s it. This is James’ last rodeo. She’ll either end as champion or go home for good. James can’t promise it will be a long ride, but she can promise it will be a hell of a ride. Hardcore country!
