IMPACT Wrestling Star Masha Slamovich recently appeared on Tommy Dreamer's House of Hardcore podcast, where she talked about a number of topics such as which pro wrestling legend recommended her to go to IMPACT.
Masha Slamovich said:
"To my knowledge, it was Mickie James because she was the one who recommended me for (NWA) Empowerrr, and she seemed very happy with my work, thankfully. So that's how I ended up being the pick your poison match for Deonna Purrazzo at the Knockouts Knockdown.”
Masha Slamovich also talked about how she had no idea she was going to be offered an IMPACT Wrestling contract on the spot.
Masha Slamovich said:
"I had no idea that any of that was gonna happen. So I just knew that we would go out there and do our match and stay at ringside. I assumed that perhaps somebody else was coming out, or something that I wasn't aware of was going to take place. Gail Kim comes out and she just walks right through me and tells me to get in the ring. I had no clue that any of this was going on. Then immediately she got on the microphone and praised the match and offered me a contract. I was just completely blown away in that moment."
Masha Slamovich then talked about how she loves to compete in death matches.
Masha Slamovich said:
"I love death matches. There's really no other feeling. There's nothing that I found that makes me feel so focused in the moment, alive and aware. I don't think you know until you do it and get in there with somebody who knows the art of the style. There's just a rush. I guess it's how people get hooked on doing drugs because I suppose death matches are my drug of choice. Ever since I discovered indie wrestling, I immediately discovered CZW and I watched all the cages of death."
