Gail Kim

“I would miss the action if I ever stepped away from wrestling.”

“I never wanted the fans to remember me as anything but my best.”

“I have lots of people tell me I'm beautiful and ask if I'm a model, but the biggest compliment I got was a fan came up to me and said, 'You're the best female technical wrestler.' That's the one compliment that sticks out.”

“To have the title has always been special to me, and I would love to win the championship.”

“I want to contribute the best I can to TNA and the Knockouts division. I want to be a part of taking the Knockouts division to another level.”

“I started becoming an agent and producing before I retired. I was doing double-duty to get my feet wet.”

“I've lived a gypsy life and wouldn't know any other way to live.”

“When I first saw 'Broken' Matt Hardy, I thought to myself, 'Umm...' I actually said to Jeremy Borash 'Why is he talking like that? Is he trying to make an accent and it's coming out really bad?' And then it kind of grows on you and it's just funny as hell, at least for me.”

“I had a minor back surgery, as minor as it's going to get.”

“Tessa Blanchard is a premium athlete and you can't take that away from her.”

“A lot of people that have worked with me know I'm pretty direct.”

“I wasn't on television until 25.”

“There are so many girls that are really talented like Sasha Banks and Bayley. I have been lucky enough to work with many generations of girls, so every time you see someone really talented you get that urge to make some magic with that girl.”

“I love food. I love to eat. I'm married to a chef. I can't go without food.”

“I was always into sports.”

“As an ethnic female in wrestling, there will be people reading my words and I want to set an example. I did experience racism.”

“I always wanted to make the matches in some way different unique and interesting. I never wanted to have that basic match. I just wanted us to stand out in some way or another, whether it was storytelling or interesting wrestling moves.”

“I've noticed a huge difference in my energy level cutting out the red meat. It's crazy.”

“My back was starting to deteriorate and basically what happened was I just couldn't walk after a couple of matches here and there. I never had an MRI and I never knew what was going on in my body for so long, and then it was coming to point where I was always wrestling and not being able to walk after.”

“I always tell everyone wrestling is like the mafia, once you get in, you can't get out.”
