Gail Kim Interview: WWE vs TNA, Rookie Female Wrestlers, More

[Crayo]

SLAM! Wrestling interviewed TNA Knockout Gail Kim. Gail spoke about women's wrestling, TNA, rookies and veterans and much more. Below are some quick highlights:

Women's wrestling in TNA vs. WWE:
"(TNA) has really focused on women's wrestling in a different manner than WWE, and I just enjoy it more here. I've experienced both major promotions twice now, and I can honestly say that TNA is a better fit for me."

Working with rookies vs. veterans:
"I love both aspects of it -- working with girls that have been doing it for ten years-plus like Mickie James and Tara, and with those who are looking forward towards the future. And I enjoy being able to help some of the more inexperienced girls that I can help -- I remember my first match back was a tag match with Brooke Tessmacher; she didn't really know that much in the ring back then, but she has come so far in the past year."

Favorite moments of her career:
"Nights like winning the first Knockouts Championship is one of them. But if you think about the whole picture, the thing that makes me most proud is fighting for that women's division and it actually happening. It wasn't overnight, it took a lot of begging and pleading to wrestle. For that to happen, and for it to become successful, that was a dream come true."

Push her again, TNA!

 

[Crayo]

Agreed.

 

[Leo C]

I like watching Gail in the ring, she should be pushed indeed.

 

[Testify]

I really dunno who she should feud against if that renewed push was to come around. Tessmacher, Tara, Madison, Mickie, Velvet - been there, done that.

That leaves the returns of Kong, Sarita and Rosita.

 

[Testify]

I figured it out.

Bring in Gutcheck winner Taeler Hendrix down from OVW, and have her feud with Gail. What better way to start your TV career than wrestling Gail Kim?

There's just no cons in this genius idea of mine. Truly... truly amazing individual I am.

 

[Solidus1]

We can only hope. Women's wrestling is going nowhere right now.
I want Gail and Madison back full time, but that won't happen.

For what it's worth, Madison is back next week on live events.
