Gail Kim returns! We return for Part 2 of this 2-part conversation with the 7x TNA Knockout champion, former WWE Women’s Champion, and TNA Hall of Famer to discuss more of her journey in the wild world of professional wrestling.

Gail has always been a risk-taker. Both in and out of the ring. When she was unhappy with how she was treated and being portrayed on WWE television, she took a risk, bet on herself, and left. In TNA Wrestling, Gail was the centerpiece of a female roster that revolutionized women’s wrestling. In Part 2, Gail discusses how scary risk-taking can be, but all the wonderful experiences that’s led to for her in her life. Because in the end… wrestling is life… is wrestling!
