Exclusive: Gail Kim Talks About Her TNA Return, Quitting WWE & Much More!

Fresh from making her big, Twitter-trending return to TNA last week on Impact Wrestling, Diva Dirt talks to the woman of the moment — Gail Kim!

In a whirlwind few months that saw her quit WWE amidst a storm of controversy, return to the company that she calls “home” and star in the first ever live shoot interview on Internet pay per view, Gail Kim’s name has been hot on everybody’s lips. Gail has granted a select few interviews, each proving as buzz-worthy as the last, and in only her third interview, Gail talks to us!

We talk to Gail about her return to TNA, where she was once the first ever Knockouts Champion, playing a heel again, whether she feels she made the right decision in quitting WWE, why she quit instead of waiting out her contract, frustrations with the way the Divas were used in WWE and being disrespected backstage.

Gail also discusses her first match back on Impact Wrestling this Thursday where she faces Tara, her upcoming independent match with Traci Brooks, her next TV project and more.

    Gail Kim is such an awesome person and she deserved way better. WWE has a lot of issues backstage, with the king being Johnny Ace.

    I recommend this interview to everyone, It’s a must hear.

    • Kaledrina

      October 25, 2011 at 5:37 am

      it’s like a total fairytale, quite sad to listen to in some parts but has a happy ending :)

    • Mr.Int

      October 25, 2011 at 6:28 am

      WWE needs to push their Divas because Gail Kim is amazing.

    • Mr.Int

      October 25, 2011 at 6:48 am

      I agree WWFOVERWWE Jonhnny Ace is a jerk. What is wrong with him.

    • mskhamla

      October 25, 2011 at 7:06 am

      i hate johnny ace now

    Over this bitch. Can she fade into obscurity?

    • WWFoverWWE

      October 25, 2011 at 5:22 am

      Like Gail has said, until you walk a day in her shoes, you don’t know her or what she’s experienced.

      • Michael

        October 25, 2011 at 5:24 am

        Gail, yeah one troll is sick of you, maybe time to hang up the boots.

        • mandoceleb

          October 25, 2011 at 5:45 am

          Just because I clicked on a post featuring a story about her and having my own opinion, I’m considered a troll? LOL okay, I guess no one on here can have opinions and I’m supposed to jump on the gail kim bandwagon and praise this 40 year old woman! Please….

        • Mr.Int

          October 25, 2011 at 6:30 am

          Lol.

        • _Bryan_

          October 25, 2011 at 7:56 am

          shes 34…

      • mandoceleb

        October 25, 2011 at 5:42 am

        Oh please so I’m supposed to feel bad for her because WWE didn’t use her amazing talent? LOL go cry in the corner. If she wasn’t getting used like she wanted to, bitch should’ve done what EVE has been doing and is doing. You can tell she is working hard to get in front of the pack and WWE has taken notice! Which is why she’s getting pushed. Gail just thought she deserved everything because of her “seniority” in the business and she was one of the oldest divas still with the company. Gail is mediocre at best.

        • Mr.Int

          October 25, 2011 at 6:31 am

          You have some points Mandocelb, but do you like anything about Gail? Or did you lose respect for her because she quit?

      • mandoceleb

        October 25, 2011 at 5:46 am

        Maybe she should get back into porn.

      • Mr.Int

        October 25, 2011 at 6:29 am

        I feel bad, for her when she was in the WWE, I’m happy shes happy.

      • Mr.Int

        October 25, 2011 at 6:49 am

        If I walked in Gail shoes one day, I would be so sad and angry.

        • mskhamla

          October 25, 2011 at 8:22 am

          mandocelb u are a womens wrestling hater get out of here go cry to maryse i like maryse but for u to be talking about gail why wont u take maryse off ur avatar weird.

    • Kaledrina

      October 25, 2011 at 5:35 am

      i don’t think you are over her, why else would you click a link and comment on an article that clearly has her name on it? ;’)

      • mandoceleb

        October 25, 2011 at 5:45 am

        It’s called having my own opinion ;)! Am I not allowed to have one?

        • WWFoverWWE

          October 25, 2011 at 6:29 am

          Having an opinion is fine, but when your comment just consists of calling her a bitch, that’s what makes you a troll.

          You don’t know Gail or what’s she’s been through. Calling her a bitch because she’s telling the truth that you don’t wanna hear makes it more of a personal problem of yours than Gail being a bitch.

          Gail said she was disrespected numerous of times, and that disrespect was not from getting no push. It was straight up disrespect and that’s one of the reasons she left.

        • Mr.Int

          October 25, 2011 at 6:34 am

          It’s okay to have opinion, you make some good point but I just enjoy Gail Kim as a wrestler not her as a person. WRESTLING!!!

        • Mr.Int

          October 25, 2011 at 6:51 am

          WWFOVERWWE I understand your point, if I work somewhere and clearly I’m not getting no where, I will leave with a bang knowing that I will have it great somewhere else and it don’t have to be about money or class = )

        • fan2010

          October 25, 2011 at 7:25 am

          and our opinion is that we are going to gain up on u from reading ur post ur a hater get out of here ur not a real womens wresting fan we all have our favorite but dont hate.

        • mandoceleb

          October 25, 2011 at 7:42 am

          @fan2010

          You seriously need to have a seat and shut up. I hate Gail so I’m not a fan of women’s wrestling? What has Gail even done to make her memorable? NOTHING. She doesn’t bring nothing to the table and TNA is only using her to throw it in WWE’s faces but watch TNA screw her over as well!

          Next time you want to come at me, check your spelling and grammar first. Bye

        • mandoceleb

          October 25, 2011 at 7:45 am

  6. Kaledrina

    October 25, 2011 at 5:33 am

    i’m glad that she wants to be going for the tag titles and i hope that’s the direction tna takes gail. i would kinda feel a bit cheated as a fan if she headed straight for the main title.. and, well, it’s gail frickin’ kim! if she can’t raise the importance of the tag belts then who can??

    it’s pretty saddening to hear about the whole documentary debacle, especially as it seems as if stephanie was the one who didn’t want one of her divas to do something that could ultimately had brought more eyes to the divas -__-

    anyway, it’s great to hear that wwe didn’t suck away her passion like has happened to sooo many divas before her and instead seems to have increased it! i’m looking forward to seeing gail breaking out the old submission holds again and seeing where the whole karen/madi/kim thing goes :)

        October 25, 2011 at 6:49 am

        Gail quit under the right circumstances.

        john Cena never gives up because he has no reason to give up. Face of the WWE, gets handed championships, big paycheck, movie deals etc.

        • Mr.Int

          October 25, 2011 at 6:55 am

          Jonh Cena has it good, if WWE treats him like crap and he knows he is good, he would probably quit. We will never know like Gail said =(

      • Mr.Int

        October 25, 2011 at 6:54 am

        Most humans are quiters, we lose jobs, we get divorce but people still loves us from what good things we do, people will always talk, but why talk about people? look at your self first, good point WWFOVERWWE = )

        • Goodvibes

          October 25, 2011 at 7:08 am

          John Cena? Are you serious, why would he quit when he IS what the WWE is all about, Gail is a different story altogether, no comparison and it makes no sense.

    This was a great interview! I’ve had my opinions about the way Gail exited the company and her (lack of) professionalism, but she seems very genuine in reflecting on her career. You can tell that she loves this business, and wants the women to have a fair chance at showing everything they can do. I wish her the best! Thanks for a wonderful interview, DD.

  9. mojodoom

    October 25, 2011 at 6:21 am

    After listening to all her interviews, she made me feel like the WWE didn’t really wronged her, if anything she kinda used them to help established herself financially and when she found some stability and felt she wasn’t being used the way she thought she should be, exited the company in a very unprofessional way. I understand her frustrations tho, just wish she handled it differently.

    • WWFoverWWE

      October 25, 2011 at 6:37 am

      It amazes me how so many of you miss the important stuff she says. Gail said that she was disrespected on numerous of occasions by them, and not the “they are not pushing me” disrespect. The real kind of disrespect.

      • Mr.Int

        October 25, 2011 at 6:43 am

        Really good point, if I was picked on, I’ll go to someone or some place who will treat me better. We are human, thanks for backing her up. We should just care about Gail Kim as a great Wrestler and judge her on that = )

      • fan2010

        October 25, 2011 at 7:31 am

          October 25, 2011 at 12:34 pm

          The fact that Gail left a company that was using her as their top baby face and pretty much making her into a TNA legend for a company that had the likes of Maria pinning Victoria and the Bella’s getting wins over Victoria/Natalya, does show that Gail was most likely in it for the money, thats really the only thing WWE had and still has up on TNA really. Gail knew what she was doing an I’m sure she expected just because of what she did in TNA, she’d be pushed to the moon. But in honestly, she played TNA like a bad boyfriend, and WWE played her.

        • WWFoverWWE

          October 25, 2011 at 7:42 pm

          Gail said she didn’t have any expectations, but she went in with a hopeful attitude, because she couldn’t see the future or what was in store. In the end, it was WWE who wanted her to stay but she gave them a “kiss my ass” and left.

          Obviously the fans who believe working for WWE is a dreamland need to wake up themselves

        • fan2010

          October 25, 2011 at 9:43 pm

          kellytrishfan i agree its like a ex boyfriend that u left but u came back because they said they will change but u go back and its the same crap, u have high hopes because u think u can change ones ways u went back because the guy have a future but u realize u just one of his girls he mess with because he has a lot of money and was angry that u were happy with someone else so he did what he can so that u wont go back and be happy with ur new boyfriend.

          gail did used the wwe for their money, she is smart. if u are good at what u do, why not go and make more money by going to the wwe and u will not have to injury ur self because the divas don’t really wrestle for that long. smart move, she played the wwe and she smart, they are a big company there are countless storys of how the wwe treat people badly they deserve this. theres guys who has been with the wwe and has been loyal but never gets a push and this happend to nattie she was a great wrestler it took her that long to get a less than a month push, she is way more deserving and worthy to be jobbing right now so gail is smart, don’t be a b*tch and be step on, because the bullies will laugh at u and continue stepping on u and act like they don’t know whats wrong with u.

          wwfoverwwe i so agree aspring fans will want to train to be a wrestler if it was fun and entertaining like the wwf days, now wrestling is becoming a joke in the wwe, if they turn it to a kids show then what about us wwf fans who loves the violence? kids watch horror, action and comedy movies all the time if they can sneak it in.

    What a great interview!

    Gail seems like such a great person. She truly loves this business and you gotta respect her for what. She just wants to make women’s wrestling mean something and I think we’re on the right track of getting the Knockouts division back up there!

      October 25, 2011 at 7:00 am

    Melanie I enjoyed this more than Gail’s shoot, well done you guys always bring out the best in anyone you interview, great job! thank you.

    As for Gail, if she’s reading THANK YOU for having the balls (not literally) to follow your passion, you only live once and time stops for noone.

    Im excited as a wrestling fan again, I know this woman combined with Tara, Mickie and the other girls in TNA will put their hearts and souls into the product, and as Gail mentioned, bring up the quality of women’s wrestling in general.

  19. DivaDerby

    October 25, 2011 at 7:17 am

    I like Gail, but I do have mixed feelings about her comments on the WWE. Like in any facet of entertainment, there will always be some stars that become megastars and some talented people that never become big stars. In movies, few actresses become big stars, most end up on mediocre roles, some never even get on a movie. In music, most talented singers don’t become big stars, lots of very talented singers never even get a recording contract. Similarly, in the WWE, some divas become big stars, and other talented divas are never really used. The same thing happens in all facets of entertainment. Let’s be realistic here, there have always been divas in the WWE that went on to become big stars and some that where never really used. Everyone always brings up Trish/Lita/Chyna/Sable/Sunny…. well, recently we’ve had new diva megastars. We have Melina/McCool/Layla/Beth and most recently Kelly & Natalya… maybe Eve in the near future? They got enough TV time to become memorable divas. Gail is frustrated because for whatever reason the WWE decided not to make her a big star. She always either had a mediocre diva role or a jobber role. Never being able to get past that frustrated her. But, that’s the entertainment world. The top executives always pick who to give the leading roles to. The fellow actresses/singers/wrestlers just show up to work when they are called up. But, I don’t think she should talk down the entire divas division because her experience wasn’t to her liking. Divas like Melina & McCool had the spotlight on them for years and did develop into major WWE stars.

    But, there’s also another side to this, maybe by releasing a lot of backstage gossip the WWE will make some positive changes to the division? We’ll see.

    • Goodvibes

      October 25, 2011 at 7:27 am

      Thats the thing, Gail never talked the division down at all, she just praised Natalya, Alicia and Beth in this interview and mentioned the girls work with what they’re given.

      • mskhamla

        October 25, 2011 at 8:14 am

        agree she always wanted to wrestle and all of them to be apart of something

    • fan2010

      October 25, 2011 at 7:45 am

      good point but at the end of the day if gail kim a great wrestler and can put on a show and entertain us that should only matter people are making gail popular by talking about her like how britney and other pop stars to stay on top of the game gail knows how to play games and shes great and i love her she can be a bi*ch but i will still love her because she entertains me who cares how she is as a person its not our lives people gotta stop and live there own and watch the dammm wrestling match and enjoy women’s wrestling yeah she quit she was f*ckin* pissed glad she is not a professional b*tch more power to gail, she will not have a man hold her down she wants to have balls like guys and stick it to them because they have money power and she used them hahaha gail get the last laugh because she smart. dont be nice people will respect u but it never takes u know where if u dont act out, steve austin teaches that on tough enough go somewhere that u will be appreciate u, if u know ur good enough they stick it to them and show that u are theeeee sh*t

      • Mr.Int

        October 25, 2011 at 8:07 am

  20. fan2010

    October 25, 2011 at 7:53 am

    gail kim dont care she took the money wwe was the stupid one to pay her out, if they going to play her and pay her that much and not use her then whos fault is that? Vince so she acted out because shes not a bi*ch and sit there and keep taking it. fight back……we are human, if ur at a job u dont like it, they treat u bad, u stay for the money, but if ur not happy, even money means nothing, so what do u do when u have stabitly? u stick up for urself and say f*k off. so if gail kim is bad so what? does that make her a bad wrestler, what if u watch her match and say omg she brought it, that unprofessional bit*h brought the house down. so if she put a crazy match on and we go crazy we will say yes glad she left the wwe because we would of never seen some good womens wrestling.

    • Mr.Int

      October 25, 2011 at 8:05 am

      You clearly made really great points, I bet if Gail Kim reads this she will be happy to read it I hope.

    my point is that with gail kim going to tna she will bring womens wrestling to the top she is the final piece to perfection for the ko’s division gail mickie tara jackie odb agelina sarita is going to bring back the golden era i so much hope they are going to bring it people will talk but if u are a fan of any wrestler u shoud respect the divas or the ko’s.

    • Mr.Int

      October 25, 2011 at 8:04 am

      I know, I agree with you. I feel bad for the Divas. Both the KO’s and Divas are great. The Divas has so much talent but is not getting used right. So where do you go from there. I’m happy for the KO’s.

  24. mskhamla

    October 25, 2011 at 8:24 am

    thanks diva dirt for the great interview and gail for telling it all now we know how bad it is for the divas now they are getting promos thanks to ur return to tna the wwe will now have to step it up because ur a threat

    • Mr.Int

      October 25, 2011 at 8:28 am

      Good point MSKHAMLA, I felt that way as well. WWE is considering Gail Kim as a threat since she return to TNA, the Divas get a push now they get mic time, promos, backstage, longer matches, title feud, and started to use other girls. Finally the Divas Title will have a meaning if Beth holds on it longer.

      I’m sure the Divas are thanking Gail Kim, WWE don’t wan’t a law suit for being sexist, so they are taking Gail Kim seriously for telling all = ) so she did the right thing to quit and represent a company that always cared for her and she always cared about TNA.

      Happiness over Money, or both would be awesome.

      • DivaDerby

        October 25, 2011 at 9:54 am

        TNA as a whole is very positive for the WWE Divas. TNA gives the knockouts plenty of time and they often get the highest rated segments on the show. It shows that if booked right, the fans do care about the women’s division. Recent examples include Kharma & Beth Vs Kelly in Buffalo NY. If booked right, the fans can get really into the divas. The WWE is likely seeing the potential dollar signs in the divas, I’m sure! The WWE Network might be the best thing to happen to the divas. If the reality show is a hit, they might get a 1 hour divas wrestling show. At that point we’d have A LOT of diva TV time! We’d get a match on Smackdown & Raw, sometimes superstars & NXT. Then the 1 hour reality show and 1 hour wrestling show.

        • Mr.Int

          October 25, 2011 at 10:44 am

          Good point, I want the Divas to continue getting on a push, us Fans deserve to see this, then we have something to tune into left and right and support both company, this is a good thing. The Divas show, if they can make it like Basketball Wive and etc….drama equal ratings, we don’t want to see weak womens wreslters thats the truth we want the real deal like what Gail Kim gives us thats why she is trending people care and some hate but this all good.

        • fan2010

    Gail Kim is awesome! I had been disrespected before, and as much as I would like to just sit back and take it, I cannot, so I fully understand where Gail is coming from. I may not have known what went through her mind when she left, but as a person whom have had been disrespected before and kept my mouth shut until the end, I have no problems with the way Gail quit her job. She actually had the balls to leave the biggest wrestling company, and that says something about a person. Instead of disrespect, you can just leave her be. The haters are funny, I for one hate one particular wrestler in mind, but you know what? At the end of the day, that person was on my mind and got me to use my energy towards them. Such is a way of life. We CARE so much about them that we bother to even read up or comment. The winner in the long run is Gail, and she deserves the best… as we all :). Go Gail! Rule TNA once again. Cannot wait to see Gail Vs. Mickie again… in a real feud!!!!

    • Mr.Int

      October 25, 2011 at 8:31 am

      All hail Gail Kim = ) thank god!!! I see and feel everything you just said. Why so much hate? All of the girls are helping each other, we need to look at the real point. Women’s Wrestling needs to get back in the spot light. Thanks for your comment, you made perfect sense.

      • VarsityBaseDude

        October 25, 2011 at 9:28 am

        Thank you Mr. Int :). That makes me happy that someone agrees with me. I’m so glad we have this interview here for Gail. She sounds so down to earth, so I have even more respect for her after this and the shoot interview. Imagine her bringing out her submissions again! She is so amazing with those. I cannot wait to see the matches coming up. All hail Gail Kim!

        • fan2010

          October 25, 2011 at 9:51 am

          i agree with u varsitybasedude thanks for taking time to get ur point across. gail kim is human she can act whatever way she want if we choose to be her fan then y do we have to care about who she is as a person? if we like how she entertains us then why hate right? it’s wrestling y do these girls have to be soft and nice? y can’t they be a b*tch if they want to? y can’t they be mean and selfish if they want to? why do they have to do this or that? they are just like us not perfect.

          wrestling is a mans world so they have to be a tough bi*ch, they are fighters, not meant to be classy or nice, suppose to be mean and tough and to beat up who ever steps up to them, this is wresting so like gail be unprofessional, shes a tough girl, she don’t need to fit in any kind of mold she is her own person and should only be judge on in ring skills, that entertains us womens wrestling fans.

          its like me watching the “bad girls club” and expect them to be tough but classy get out of here with that, women’s wrestler should be tough, mean, they beat people, just like the men so should be what hell they want to be.

          y hate on them when u dont know them personally, y does it kill u if she not professional, she is now giving us fans what we want and is getting paid less but dont care so we should be thankful even if we are not her fan she will a big part of the ko’s and so will all the other girls dont hate on them they are here to entertain and every ko’s and divas count when it comes to diva-dirt news we should all enjoy, if we got rid of every girl we hate on womens wrestling would suck thanks for comment varsity u made me feel happy.

          womens wrestler will be taken a joke if girls in the wwe dont act out like gail kim they are letting the mens walk are over them and take the back seat. f*k the professionalism and have a back bone, stand up for womens wrestling if u believe in it, go some where like gail kim to wrestle if u believe in it.

          thats what gail did, thats not a quitter but a smart person who didnt get her a$$ beat made money and ran with it, now she ready for the fight and have everything she needs, she is obiviously smart and got them like how they got her, if she didn’t speak up and got release people who of still hate and laugh at her, so we knew inttention were good, to fulfil a dream by going back, but they didn’t want her as much she didn’t want them so speak about it, u got them, she played the game and left with a bang go gail ur controversial wrestler that will remain in the game because u are sexy, smart and definitely powerful, so suc& it haters…….

          nice gail kim fans will not even reply to haters because thats what they want but im one of those people who dont hate on something good but i hate on haters.

    • VarsityBaseDude

      October 25, 2011 at 8:20 pm

      Thank you Fan2010, your comment made me happy too. I really appreciate that huge write up you did. I totally agree. It’s really her life, and if someone is holding you down, it’s time to move on. Life is too short to stand in the shadows, and Gail has taken an initiative to move forward and be strong as you said. Now I would love to have the balls to do the same and change my career (working on it), but I FEAR I won’t have money. The thing fear stops us from doing. I myself will find my way and be free to pursue my passion, I’m just working out the details. And I have to say, Gail fans are usually nice… and I love that about them. The haters will hate. All they need to do is not watch her or whomever and be done with it. Life goes on. Again thanks Fan2010 and Mr. Int.

      • fan2010

        October 25, 2011 at 9:59 pm

        no thank u, u taking time to do a write up is awesome. u expose gail kim as a human and this is y there is less haters now, they are now reading it and realizing that it is okay to be ur self and be hated because at the end of the day gail will do what she wants, she felt unhappy, and we know how frustrating it is to be at work and be frustrated and unhappy, so we train or go to school to have a better job, we fear money just like gail and people act like she did something bad. is like me having a good job that pays less, the other company wants to pay me more, i go there for the money and i’m unhappy and feel like i’m not going no where, i decided to go back to the less paying job because i can actually have something to do and have advancement it might be less but ill do it for my passion now that i don’t worry about money. once she put on some good matches, i know the hater will watch her match and secretly know shes good. but don’t want to admit it
