Gail Kim on Her Dream Opponent, Potential Return to WWE

Another perspective always helps. With the women’s revolution having taken complete hold of women’s wrestling in WWE, it’s interesting to hear what a former star thinks of the new direction. One of the best options is Gail Kim, who had a hand in a similar movement in “Impact Wrestling”.

Kim recently spoke with “Busted Open Radio” on a variety of topics, with the main focus being on Charlotte Flair. While there is no indication that Kim is going back to WWE or that it’s even being discussed, Kim does seem interested in having a match with Flair, who she sees as the best wrestler in the world right now. Here are some highlights with transcription courtesy of 411mania.com:

On if Charlotte vs. Kim Could be Her Best Match

“It could be, yeah. It definitely has the potential to be. I’m not gonna like, I’m 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 don’t know if that’s a possibility at this point. Where I am and where she is, so that’s too bad. I would love for that to happen, I think that’d be great. Her Figure Four, my Figure Four in the post. Who knows who’d win?”

On What’s Next

“My ultimate goal is always to make magic. I’m not retired, everyone always thinks I’m retired, I was injured. But hey, I’m 40-years-old, I don’t wanna be decrepit, I don’t want the fans to think of me in any way of being slowed down, which I’m not. That’s why I’ve taken my time coming back. I’m sure at some point I’ll retire but I don’t know when that is. Then, I’m already at the point where I’m helping the girls and I feel that’ll be my natural transition. I don’t know, we’ll see. I’ve always been that spontaneous, go with the flow, I don’t turn any great opportunities down whether it’s in our out of wrestling. I’m an opportunity grabber.”

And on a Potential Return 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, it’s like whatever. If you can’t accept me for who I am, f*ck it.”

Opinion: I know Kim might not be the most interesting performer in the world and having her pushed so hard in “Impact Wrestling” might not have been for everyone but there’s no doubt that she really is good. She’s incredibly talented, has been around for a long time and has had her share of great matches. It’s worth listening to her and she’s right on a lot of these points.
