During a recent interview with Busted Open Radio, former WWE Superstar and TNA Knockout Gail Kim took the opportunity to talk about her time in the professional wrestling industry. She was also asked about who she feels is currently the best female worker in the business today. Below are some highlights of the interview:
Who She Thinks is the Best Female Worker in Professional Wrestling Today
"Charlotte Flair definitely. I donāt watch a lot of wrestling right now because number one thereās an overabundance of it, I canāt keep up. I pretty much keep track of all wrestling through social media, which has been great, and so I watch bits and pieces. If I talk about people having a great match then I have to go watch it. That started happening when the NXT girls were doing their thing, you know The Four Horsewomen, and I remember watching a four way with those girls and thinking āWho stands out to me?ā And Charlotte actually didnāt stand out to me back then.Ā I thought she was solid, I thought she was athletic, and then the way that sheās progressed over the years just in her confidence, her year, everything is just now the complete package. And mind you, since weāre in the business we hear about people and their work ethic, their personality, whether theyāre well liked or respected, and that usually factors into everything. And Charlotte, everyone will tell me sheās the hardest worker. And I can respect that. I met her for the first time maybe two months ago, so sweet, really great girl. I love that she has hard shoes to fill. The people that come from, especially successful, second-generation talent, itās just hard to fill those shoes of their fathers or mothers. She has done an awesome job. That would be a dream match for me as well."
If She Were to Compete Against Charlotte Today, Would it Be the Best Match of Gail's Career?
"It could be, yeah. It definitely has the potential to be. Iām not gonna like, Iām a little old. There are some girls that I would love to work with up there and Charlotte is definitely one of the. But I donāt know if thatās a possibility at this point. Where I am and where she is, so thatās too bad. I would love for that to happen, I think thatād be great. Her Figure Four, my Figure Four in the post. Who knows whoād win?"
Would Gail Ever Consider Returning to WWE?
"I will say never say never. Number two, my loyalty is always with Impact Wrestling to tell you the truth. But never say never, and if that was the case, if I ever had to or did go back and get that opportunity, I would be myself. Because at this point you have nothing to lose, itās like whatever. If you canāt accept me for who I am, f*ck it."
What's Next?
"My ultimate goal is always to make magic. Iām not retired, everyone always thinks Iām retired, I was injured. But hey, Iām 40-years-old, I donāt wanna be decrepit, I donāt want the fans to think of me in any way of being slowed down, which Iām not. Thatās why Iāve taken my time coming back. Iām sure at some point Iāll retire but I donāt know when that is. Then, Iām already at the point where Iām helping the girls and I feel thatāll be my natural transition. I donāt know, weāll see. Iāve always been that spontaneous, go with the flow, I donāt turn any great opportunities down whether itās in our out of wrestling. Iām an opportunity grabber."
