Wrestling Legend Confirms She Is Retired From The Ring

It was great while it lasted. There have been countless wrestlers over the years but only a small handful of them reach legendary status. Those wrestlers are some of the greatest of all time and you will occasionally be lucky enough to see them in the ring after reaching such a high level. That is the case with a few names today, but one of them will not be getting back in the ring.

Impact Wrestling Hall of Famer and former WWE Women’s Champion Gail Kim appeared on Busted Open Radio and confirmed that she will not be returning to the ring and is officially retired. Kim cited a variety of health reasons, including not wanting to risk her back or memory getting worse. Kim is currently a producer and on air authority figure for Impact Wrestling. Her final match took place at Rebellion 2019 against Tessa Blanchard.

Opinion: If this is what Kim wants to do and she is happy with the decision, then good for her. She is someone who has had an absolute Hall of Fame career and has nothing left to prove by getting back in the ring. There is nothing wrong with stepping away from the ring and it is even more impressive when someone knows that their time is over. Kim can still do all kinds of things to help the wrestling business without being in the ring and that is a great thing to see.

What do you think of Kim? What was the best moment of her career? Let us know in the comments below.
