How good is Gail Kim?

Postby Headlesspete » Oct 09, '13, 7:51 pm

With Joey not here, i can ask this without all the hate he brings! :lol

So Gail Kim's been in both WWE and TNA, she's essentially done all she can. My question is, when her career is over, where will Gail Kim stand on the best females of WWE and TNA history list? Is she one of the greatest of all time? Is she just a decent performer? Or is she over-rated and replaceable?

I honestly think she's in at least the top 10 of all time. Admittedly, charisma wise she's never been good, her voice is pretty annoying and she's pretty hard to listen to. But, she's one of the most agile and athletic woman I've seen compete, she's had numerous matches I'd consider match of the year in terms of the woman, and i truly think she plays her role as best as she can.

Bottom line, Gail Kim is a fantastic wrestler, and the best female in both WWE and TNA right now!

Your opinion?

.......is it safe? :lol but seriously I think she may be one of the best Diva's we've seen in the past decade. She's not quite on the level of Lita & Trish but she's probably the 3rd or 4th best Women's wrestler we have seen.

She's the best going at the moment, simple as that.

I actually disagree that she has no charisma. She has tons of charisma. She's not that great on the mic, but that's not the same as charisma. The way she struts down to the ring, the personality she gets across in her matches, the way she commands the audience and makes them take notice of her - that's what charisma is. And she has that down better than most of the Knockouts I've seen. Better than a lot of men in wrestling at the moment too, quite frankly.

I love watching Gail, she almost always delivers in the ring. Great performer and great wrestler. Call me crazy, but I'd rank her above the likes of Victoria and Trish Stratus.

I only know her from WWE, but I always liked her. She is a good in the ring and could work a mic. Was she the best in either category? No but she is a LOT better than most of the divas we have now.

Yeah, i guess from the way you put over charisma, your right. I just meant more her mic skills.

As for putting her above Victoria and Stratus. I think her and Victoria are on the same level, both very good workers who got their characters down to a T and could always be relied on to have a good match. As for Stratus, i think she's one of the most over-rated woman of all time. Yeah, she improved from awful in the ring to good, but good does not mean excellent! She had a great character, but her ring work was always average to good.

I really like her. Not the best on the mic, but is pretty good in all other aspects. She's definitely one of the better female wrestlers at the moment, she's an asset to TNA.

Yeah by far the best female TNA have right now, and probably better than anything WWE have. It's a shame the TNA KO's division has shrunk so much recently because they have such talented workers. When Gail Kim was feuding with Awesome Kong, that was probably the most exciting thing happening in either company at the time

Yeah I used to love the knockouts division, now they have like 3 or 4 in that division and there's only so much you can do with such a small roster and I wonder how much longer the division will be around for. They used to have so many talented workers.

Gail is an athletic veteran, but the last time I checked wrestling was a business & not always does skill draw money. If you want athletes go watch a sports game. Is Gail entertaining? From what I've seen from her in WWE, not really. She had plenty of tag team matches with Kelly Kelly & Gail couldn't hold a candle to Kelly in drawing power.

And I know it's you guys since you think Gail's lone title reign of 28 days was more memorable than Kelly's lone title reign of 104.

That's not fair. I don't agree with any of joey's opinions, but I'd rather just try and convince him that he's wrong than ask him to leave. It's better to be inclusive.

Could this be any more terrible of a welcome wagon?

If my memory serves me, I'm actually talking about the topic at hand and you people are bawling and complaining just because I am here. Complaining. On the internet. Am I not allowed to be here? In case you didn't know, you are on a website. Nothing bad is going to happen to you. You have the choice to reply or not. Nobody is making you. Can I not take a marketable approach on the wrestling business if I feel it's right? Everyone is entitled to their opinions. It sounds more like you got some issues to work out, mates.

You expected a welcome wagon?

The only reason I'm not thrilled your here is because of how biased and negative you are, and that in turn put me of posting in the TNA section. You seemed unable to keep your bile in when it came to certain things, and that in turn took away any enjoyment in discussing things, this specific title being the perfect example.

I have no problem you being here, if your able to not to hate on everything someone has to say about what they think. Like you said, we have the choice to reply, so maybe don't reply if all your going to do is hate on something over and over.

Wow, that's it? I seriously cause you to post only in the TNA section? Sheesh, I'm not here all the time you know.

For one, I'm not "bias" or "hateful", the more understandable phrase is that I just don't agree with you. But that's how the wrestling industry normal has been as well as almost every company, a business powered by the consumer's expense.

So in this case, Petey, no, Gail Kim was never even a solid money-maker for WWE despite her athleticism and passion for wrestling. And no, it's not "bias" or "hate", it's simply what people are able to observe.
