IMPACT 1000 is already stacked as it is, but there’s always the possibility for surprises. Frankie Kazarian thinks we’ll see some tonight.
IMPACT Wrestling’s Frankie Kazarian recently sat down with Steve Fall of WrestlingNews.co. They discussed IMPACT Wrestling hitting the 1000 episode milestone, as well as potential for surprises at the event.
“Most episodic television shows don’t reach this milestone,” Frankie Kazarian said. “So this is a huge win for the company, a huge win for the industry. I have so many favorite moments, like winning my first X Division Title, winning my first tag team title with Christopher Daniels, competing in the first Ultimate X match. It would be impossible to narrow down to one, but there’s so many, and I’m sure we’re gonna see a lot of those in the next upcoming weeks as we gear up for number 1000.”
As far as potential surprises, Frankie says:
“I would say expect the unexpected,” Frankie Kazarian teased. “I mean, I’m quite certain that IMPACT is pulling off all the stops to make this show even more special than it already is. As far as the surprises, I don’t know, they don’t tell me that. I’m just a wrestler that’s above my pay grade.
“They don’t tell me that. But yeah, I mean, this show, look at the names you mentioned already, a who’s who. Fans are literally going to see some of these people for the last time ever. And so it’s going to be an incredible night. And if I was a betting man, I would bet on a few more surprises.”

Frankie Kazarian revealed at Hard to Kill In January that he had signed a long term contract with IMPACT Wrestling after feeling valued in this company and getting out of his AEW contract in order to do so.
Frankie is set to team up with his wife and former TNA Knockout Traci Brooks to take on Eddie Edwards and his wife and current Knockouts Alisha Edwards in a mixed tag team match at IMPACT1000.
Eddie and Alisha have been a thorn in Frankie’s side for literal months, and he’s hoping to finally put an end to the feud tonight at the IMPACT1000 TV taping.
