TNA Knockout Women’s Champion Gail Kim appeared as a guest on the November 7th edition of Between the Ropes to discuss her role as the top female wrestler in the company, working with Awesome Kong, her time in WWE, and more.
Kim expressed her feelings on becoming the first-ever TNA Women’s Champion at last month’s Bound For Glory Pay-Per-View. “It’s such an honor to be part of history. What more could a girl ask for when you dream of being in this business? It was just such a fight over the past two years to just get this women’s division even started. So, I definitely feel grateful and appreciated from the company. When they (TNA) called me, they said, ‘We’d like to have a women’s division, but realistically we have an hour show, which his approximately forty-three minutes of programming.’ And (the company only had) – let’s see, Traci was there – Ms. Brooks – SoCal Val, and that was pretty much it. You can’t have a women’s division with three girls. So, I was patient. And I would say about a year and a half marked in, I started becoming really antsy, becoming frustrated and impatient. But, they’ve pretty much lived up to their word, it’s just that it took longer than I thought.”
