Gail Kim Talks Being Inducted Into TNA Hall Of Fame, What’s Next For Her, ‘Broken’ Matt Hardy
- Updated: October 1, 2016
The Rack Radio Show Podcast recently wrapped up a great interview with Former WWE Diva and 5-time TNA Knockout’s Champion Gail Kim. They sent us these highlights:
What her initial reaction was to being named to the TNA Hall of Fame:
“Well, they didn’t tell me. You guys all saw it with me on television; they tried to make it a surprise and it was kind of funny that day because they were trying to hide it and keep it secret. They were kind of making it obvious, but you just never know which way it’s going to go. It’s funny because I told the office after because they were like ‘Did you know?

What has it meant being the first Knockouts Champion and a standard bearer for the division:
“That probably was the most meaningful series of events I guess you could say because you fight for so long for something and for it to come to fruition and successfully happen. It took a while for it to happen but when the division happened it was such a success almost, it seemed, overnight; you couldn’t ask for anything more. It’s like all your hard work and begging and fighting pays off and you can’t have a more satisfying feeling.”
On the ongoing Women’s Revolution in wrestling today and its start in TNA:
“You know, it took some time and because, probably, we’re looked at as a smaller company, people might overlook that but TNA has always been, like I said, it took a little bit of pushing and begging and …
