In an interview with Scott Fishman of ChannelGuideMagBlog.com, TNA Wrestling knockout Gail Kim commented on her recent character change, the WWE’s Divas Revolution and more.

Highlights of the interview are below:

On her character change in TNA: “We were talking about this for a couple of years, to be honest, it has always been the Gail Kim that everyone kind of saw me as, but I never was visually like that. Christy [Hemme] and I have talked about this look for probably over two years now. It just never happened. We did a photo shoot for it like two years ago. The thing was it was never the right time with storylines, people getting pregnant or injured. With the way I look at it, everything happens for a reason. I think it has happened at the perfect time. If you look at my career, I try not to get stale. I try to keep things fresh. There have been times where I did feel stale, but I try to change that. I’ve been in this business for a long time. I don’t want the fans to ever be bored. That’s why I attribute my wrestling style to always keeping it fresh and the matches interesting. That goes along with my look and character. I feel like this was the evolution of where I should be and what I envisioned probably at the beginning of my career. It just happened now. I would say it was more mysterious, but still Gail. I don’t want to be too serious because I still want the fans to connect to me and know it’s still me, but serious when I need to be in the ring. It just depends on the circumstance. Christy and I went through so many stages and finding the happy medium because ultimately I had to be comfortable with what I was wearing, how I was portrayed. I needed to feel that character. It all worked out in the end.”

On WWE’s current #DivasRevolution: “I made a comment on Twitter that we’ve been doing it all along, but that was not to bash any other company at all, I think it’s great what they’re doing. I’ve been waiting for them to do that for years now. I think it’s great. I think they have a really great group of talent, especially the girls that have come up through NXT. I wish Nattie was a part of it because I don’t see how see she can’t fit into the equation. She should have been in there from day one. They just have a really good core group of girls. I really like Sasha [Banks]. I know she is a fan favorite. I just love what they’ve been doing. It’s so funny I saw a match I thought, ‘That’s so like TNA knockouts style.’ They are bringing it to another level, and I love it. I the saw Sasha and Bayley match. I just loved the psychology and the crowd was into it. It was great. Now I just feel they are doing it on the main stage. I think they really need storylines and characters. They can do what we’re doing. TNA is very good about pushing individual girls and letting them stand alone and develop their characters and stories that way. I think fans can connect on a deeper level. Just throwing three girls against three girls out there, it’s great they are giving them more time. Now they need to give them the storylines and so forth.”
