Who Does Gail Kim Think Started the Women’s Revolution?

I’ve heard this somewhere before. In August 2015, Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks made their main roster debuts on “Monday Night Raw” in a moment known as the Women’s/Divas’ Revolution. The moment changed the direction of women’s wrestling all at once and in a very positive way. However, there was a big question to come out of it: who started the whole thing? Over the last year and a half, Stephanie McMahon, the Bella Twins, Charlotte and probably others have taken credit for starting the movement. Now another name can be added to the list.

On her official Twitter page, Gail Kim said that she thought “Impact Wrestling” started the women’s revolution. She says she never had a real opportunity until then and it never stopped. While Kim doesn’t give a date, she signed with the company in September 2005 and became the first ever Knockouts Champion at “Bound For Glory 2007”.

My opinion is @IMPACTWRESTLING did. No shade just truth and my personal opinion. I never got my opportunity till then and it's never stopped https://t.co/5HbWH1DNbX

Opinion: I can buy what Kim is saying but I’m not sure she’s exactly right. While “Impact Wrestling” certainly did start treating the women as something important, WWE was also having major matches between women like Trish Stratus, Lita and Mickie James. Now after the first two of them left the division went WAY downhill for a long time and “Impact Wrestling”’s Knockouts stuck around for a long time, but I’m not sure I can say they started the trend. Kim isn’t necessarily wrong but I’m not sure I agree with her.

Who do you think started the revolution? Where do you see it going? Let us know in the comments below.
