Outlook - Gail Kim is everything a pro-wrestling company could want in a female talent. She is an excellent athlete, has a natural charisma, a dynamic moveset and a unique sex appeal. Kim was signed by the WWE and quickly pushed hard, but ultimately the company was unhappy with her and dumped her for less capable talent. The Korean-American has the mainstream good looks and "ethnic" look that sets her apart from the busty blondes that are always pushed, which TNA has managed to capitalize on more effectively than the WWE did. Inside the ring, Gail Kim is a hardworker who just needs the right opponents. On the mic, she has improved greatly. TNA's new women's division seems to be largely a platform for her talents, although the superior talent coming in from the indies may claim her spot, they could also be the talent necessary to push her to the next level.
