In a recent interview with the Generation Of Wrestling podcast, Gail Kim discussed several topics, including the passing of Don West, wanting to see Don honored alongside Mike Tenay with an IMPACT Wrestling Hall of Fame induction and much more.

“I’m not exaggerating, I don’t have one negative, I worked with him for years, we did all the live events and a full-time schedule and we saw each other every week, I don’t have one negative memory of Don. That voice that you heard, that excitement, that positivity you heard when he was commentating, that’s who he truly was backstage, positive, excitement for the matches, he’d always be so complimentary.

He would say, you and Kong, you make it so easy to call a match, because I’m so invested in it. He made you feel good all the time. It was heartbreaking, I did get to talk to him before he passed, and he wasn’t in a good place. I guess I was prepared somewhat mentally, and knew it wasn’t going well, but it doesn’t help the sting once the real news gets delivered. He was so beloved by so many, it was a hard one to deal with for a lot of people. I want to see him and Mike Tenay in the Hall of Fame this year, it’s most-fitting and deserved.”
