Gail Kim: Difference between revisions

'''Gail Kim''' is a female Canadian professional wrestler of Korean descent, known for her high-flying innovative moves. She first had a two-year run in WWE where she won the Women's Championship on her very first night on Raw. She was abruptly released with many others in late 2004 and spent a year honing her craft in Mexico and Korea. She signed with TNA in 2005 to help build up their fledgling women's division. Kim received rave reviews for her in-ring work which paid off in 2007 where she was crowned the first ever TNA Knockouts Champion. A feud with Awesome Kong followed, which was highly praised by critics and helped draw a huge amount of ratings for TNA. She left the company in 2008 over a pay dispute and resigned with WWE for the next three years. She has recently re-debuted in TNA.

 

* [[Aborted Arc]]: There was never any real resolution to her mini-feud with the Bella twins. It got transitioned into a Divas' Championship feud with Gail in [[Eve Torres]]'s corner but Gail never really had much of a part in it.

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]

* [[Screwed by the Network]]: ''Twice''. The first time, WWE turned her heel abruptly without giving her a chance to get over, and the second time, WWE barely used her after they hired her back. TNA also offered her a pittance back in 2008 when her contract was up, despite her being a proven ratings draw with Awesome Kong. Then when she had no other choice but to sign with WWE, TNA officials called her a "sell-out".

* [[Spot Monkey]]: A rare non-high flying example (though she is a high-flyer). When she started a submission based style in 2004, she would often bust out holds with no rhyme or reason. Ironically when she wrestles as a high flyer she shows more awareness of the story and is able to utilise those moves in the right way. She's shown the same awareness using submissions in TNA now.

* [[Stepford Smiler]]: This became apparent in 2011 when she started criticizing how she and her fellow divas were being used on Twitter. On television, she was all the while a smiling [[Face]].

** Another was during a Divas Battle Royal. She walked in to the ring, and immediately jumped back out, disqualifying herself. When she was asked on Twitter later that night, she said she did it just to see if anybody backstage would notice. No one did.

** They also told her to make sure she was out in the first minute. She was more than happy to oblige...in her own way.

* [[What Could Have Been]]: Rumours were that she was going to feud with Mickie, though people weren't sure which of them was going to turn heel. There was also talk of Kharma's first WWE match being against her.

* [[Who Wears Short Shorts?]]: Was once booked in a "Legs Match" (because the Guest Hosts that week were ZZ Top) where all the girls had to wrestle in short shorts, never mind the fact that she wrestled in hot pants normally.
