19. Gail Kim Talks About Being Held Down In WWE, Knocking Out Jacqueline Moore’s Two Front Teeth During A Street Fight
During a recent appearance on X-Pac 12360 podcast, Gail Kim talked about her time in WWE, knocking out Jacqueline Moore’s two front teeth during a street fight & more. Below are the highlights:
On being held down in WWE:
“I felt held down in WWE. It was just the wrong timing in that company. When I first came into the company the woman’s division was strong with Trish and Jazz with all those girls. When the first diva’s search happen it kinda went away, that’s when I got fired actually, and mind you, it brought me my best friend Christy Hemme. It always felt like it was just never a right fit for me.”
On the difference in match layout from WWE Compared to TNA:
“In WWE, it’s a little bit more controlled in ways. For example, you know we always had Fit Finlay as our agent. Well, most of the time. And so he would tell us to do certain things. Not the whole match. You know because we kind of work together but if there is something he really wanted us to do then we would do it. Whereas in Impact it was kind of different where we have more independence.”
On knocking out Jacqueline Moore’s two front teeth during a street fight In TNA:
“We had a street fight one time and Jim Cornette was our agent and so Jim is like ‘Have you ever done a pinata spot? You know with the garbage can over the head …’ I said ‘no’, he kinda explained it, but he didn’t tell me which way to way to frame… and all that. I swung away and I knocked out her two front teeth!”
On who deserves to go into the GFW (TNA) Hall of Fame next:
“The person I feel is most deserving probably because I’ve worked with him for so long, I don’t know how the fans feel, but I think they would agree is Abyss. Abyss has been there for a long time he’s such a great talent and he produces behind the scenes. I have nothing against all the other producers but I think he is the best producer. I mean he’s so good and what he contributes to the company because I know he deserves it.”
