Gail Kim's WWE contract has expired and she was officially removed from the WWE roster on their website today.


So finally she can leave the company. It is a shame it never worked out because I looked forward to her adding some more wresting to the Divas division. Her work in TNA was great but unfortunately WWE never gave her that chance.

If they stopped pushing Divas that botch then they wouldn't have anyone left. I was surprised that they didn't give her a chance once LayCool left.

Well it's such a shame but Kim was a huge botcher in my eyes. I don't know whether she was purposefully doing it or not but I noticed her botching a lot. Saying thaat this could be due to other Divas not being able to take the moves correctly. Whatever, she won't be missed by me anyway.

I don't think she will be missed by many, only by those that saw the Kim vs. Kong fued in TNA. In the current form of WWE she was so far down the pecking order the fans couldn't get behind her as she was rarely used.

Yeah a good wrestler who could have added something different to a struggle divison won't be missed, that makes sense!

Thing is WWE have always had a blindspot towards Kim, you could see her talent during her first run there, and at first they gave her the big push and then for some reason dropped it.

WWE never used Kim well, I say go back to TNA where she can be used properly.

Actually she won the women's title on her first night there in a battle royal and for weeks before that had been promoted heavily in promotion videos, so it is clear than Vince had big plans for her in 2003, but for some reason never followed through on them.

Don't think she should go back to TNA, it just wouldn't be the same now, and besides they never valued her enough to offer her a better contract before. To my knowledge she has never appeared in ROH before, and it is an exciting time for that promotion, so I would like to see them sign Kim and add some more depth to their women's divison.

Are there even many girls in ROH?

I'd say something like SHIMMER or TNA would be suitable for her, but that's just me.

Kim had an odd first run in WWE where she got the title first night but then suddenly creative didn't like her. She wanted back in WWE because they paid a lot more than TNA but obviously with TNA she was featured more. She took the money and hopefully she saved it because she will make less everywhere else. I definitely see her going back to TNA. I can't see there being much of an opportunity, or much pay, in SHIMMER/ROH.

The differnece is Troy that now I think TNA have lost interest in the women's division, so I don't think there would be that same oppertuity for Kim there, besides I don't think they would pay her that much more than ROH, my guess is that unless your one of the big names in TNA then you get paid indie league kind of money. I say ROH would be a fresh challenge for Gail and they would use her well, so that should be her next stop IMO.

I would like to see her go to ROH as I think that would suit her best at the moment I just can't see it happening. In the past few months she has hinted at TNA and she was happy there other than the pay so I can see her going back there. Even if TNA have lost some interest in the women's division I am sure that Kim would be used weekly on tv.
