Gail Kim took to Instagram to announce that she suffered a concussion during the 10 Knockouts Tag Team Bout that aired last night on Impact 1000:
"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.
Thank you to @dr.rheetommy and @physicalchiropractic for always having my back (LITERALLY!) keeping my one body and mind in the best condition I can. I can’t stress enough the level of excellence your whole team puts out everyday.
