https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/gail ... g-time-agoWell before there was a "women's revolution" in WWE, Gail Kim had enough.
Kim had returned to WWE after a successful TNA Wrestling run, only to be welcomed with more of the same booking she'd experienced before. In 2011, Kim eliminated herself from a battle royal and never wrestled in the company again. Within a few years, WWE started a charge for a women's revolution. Kim told the WPW Podcast that she thinks Stephanie McMahon could have helped make it happen well before.
"WWE always thinks in a business mindset. For them, they are thinking, ‘ok this woman's revolution is becoming hot, Ronda Rousey, this “Me Too” movement’; so of course to be honest I’m going to say this, because I’ve said it on Twitter, Stephanie (McMahon) could have been fighting for us a long time ago. She was there every single time I worked there and she had zero interest in fighting for the women back then. So, for them, everything is business motivated. So, them having this women's revolution, and it’s from the fans as well….the fans did demand it through social media and Vince heard it and made it happen. And I think finally the girls are getting treated the way they want to get treated."
Instead of heading back to WWE when the shift occurred, she would finish out her in-ring career with Impact Wrestling, and now works backstage for them.

Gail Kim recently did a media call and was asked about if women in wrestling should be focused on athleticism or sex appeal:
“I’ve always said there’s always been room for both, it’s just a matter of doing it. It doesn’t have to be all wrestling or all sexy. As I’ve said, my first time in WWE there was such a great balance of that great women’s division on RAW with Trish, Victoria, Jazz, Molly, Ivory, and on the other side you saw Stacy Keibler and Torrie [Wilson] and Dawn [Marie], all of these girls who were fine with being in the ring, but maybe were not as passionate about the ‘pro-wrestling’ aspect of the business. Maybe they just liked to entertain more and I love that, but I know Scarlett can wrestle. I’m very sure that she’s open to that as well. I’d like to see a blend of it all, the fans would like to see it. There shouldn’t be any rules; I get it’s the Women’s Revolution, but girls can be just as confident and strong in that role as they are in wrestling.”
ring akcija ne znaci 205 Live, ima mjesta i za komedije mečeve i ostale gimmick mečeve, koji mogu uključivati i sexy mečeve
Ima mjesta, ali ti mečevi bi trebali ipak biti podređeni onim običnim mečevima. Okej je ako se neko proslaviti preko tih gimmick mečeva, recimo kao Mick Foley, ali trebaš moći odraditi i dobar standardni meč. Foley je mogao, zato je recimo legenda.~MandyRose~ je napisao/la:ring akcija ne znaci 205 Live, ima mjesta i za komedije mečeve i ostale gimmick mečeve, koji mogu uključivati i sexy mečeve
