Rundown of the latest news from around FGA.
On Flashpoint 2.1, FGA Official Leonard T. Asherman was on the receiving end of an attack from Izzy Anders. Anders left the 55 year old laying motionless in the ring before walking out of the arena. The official was later diagnosed with a Grade III Concussion and has slowly been improving over the last several weeks. Despite the walkout, Anders remained under contract. Prior to her walkout, plans were in place for her to challenge the FGA Undisputed Champion at the Six Year Anniversary Show. At the time, there was no disciplinary action given to Anders. However, earlier this evening, Anders was informed that she had been released from her contract. Her contract was scheduled to end in late December.
