History Wrestling / GailKim

* TheRival: She considers her best WWE matches to be the ones she had with Nidia on ''[[{{BShow}} Sunday Night Heat]]''. They since met up on opposite sides multiple times in Mexico, Korea and Australia in promotions such as [[Wrestling/DragonGate Toryumon]], Wrestling/{{N|ationalWrestlingAlliance}}WA members, Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling and World Series Wrestling.

* EnemyMine: Dory Funk Jr. [[AuthorAvatar himself]] had to [[DeusExMachina intervene]] after Gail basically stole his Conservatory women's title from The Claw but the two ended up working together of their own accord against Lady Kimberly and Miss Vicky, after Kim's attempt to ally with them didn't workout.

* VillainOfAnotherStory: A referee for Absolute Intense Wrestling while taking advantage of favoritism from the "Vice President Of The Knockouts" in TNA.

She returned to the USA for Michigan's All World Wrestling League then signed with Wrestling/{{TNA}} in 2005 to help build up their fledgling women's division. Kim received rave reviews for her in-ring work which paid off in 2007 where she was crowned the first ever [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/tna/tna-wm.html TNA Knockouts Champion]]. A feud with Awesome Kong followed, which was highly praised by critics and helped draw a huge amount of ratings for TNA. She left the company in 2008 over a pay dispute and resigned with WWE for the next three years. She then re-debuted in TNA, regaining the Knockouts Title belt, winning the Knockouts Tag Team Title Belts, again becoming one of their top female talents. During this time she also briefly held the Funkin Conservatory Women's title.

** On ''!BANG! TV'' while she was Knockouts Champion she got in a brawl with the Funkin Conservatory Women's Champion Claudia "The Claw" Reiff that quickly degenerated into a cat fight that Johnny Magnum, Christopher Daniels and even Dory Funk jr were incapable of stopping, partly because the fans told them not to.

** {{Inverted| trope}} during her initial TNA run. After Wrestling/JimCornette denied Wrestling/AJStyles and Wrestling/ChristopherDaniels the right to beat Gail Kim for continually screwing them out of America's Most Wanted's tag team titles, they responded by getting the largest woman they could find, Sirelda, to take her out. And she did, [[LiterallyMinded forcibly carrying Gail out of the Impact Zone]]. Once they actually had a match though, Gail won handily.

* VillainOfAnotherStory: An impartial referee for Absolute Intense Wrestling while taking advantage of favoritism from the "Vice President Of The Knockouts" in TNA.

* CoolShades: During her first gimmick.

** Was on "Team Hardy", who won TNA's 2015 ''World Cup Of Wrestling''.

* TournamentArc:Has came up short in quite a few of them, she won the 2013 Queen Of The Knockouts though it was more like a series of qualifying matches for a Gauntlet Battle Royal than a tournament in usual sense of the word.

** Back in GLORY it was "Anyone who steps with me inside that ring!"

* CanadaEh: Trained in both Toronto's "School Of Pro Wrestling" and "Squared Circle Gym". When WWE was in Toronto it started billing her as "A Native Of Korea"(which she is, but seemed to be another in the trend started in 2003 to remove Canadian hometowns). Still called a "Canadian Hero" by Tim Baines of the Ottawa Sun though.

* FinishingMove: Among the more notable is the Necktie Breaker (like the Regal Cutter with two arms), which she used in TNA. Eat Defeat, an innovative jawbreaker done with the foot which she first did in her second WWE run and then carried to her TNA return. Sometimes the Flying Dragon/Christo, a headscissors into an arm bar[[note]]She didn't innovate it, but since she's the first WWE wrestler to use it she often gets credited for doing so. The move was originally done by Dragon Kid of Toryumon[=/=]{{Wrestling/Dragon Gate}}. Gail ironically would end up in Toryumon Mexico in between WWE and TNA.[[/note]]. She formerly also had the air raid crash, known to WWE viewers as the Celtic Cross of Finlay or to latter viewers. White Noise of Wrestling/{{Sheamus}}.

* BadassLongcoat: Early in her career.

* CanadaEh: Trained in both Toronto's "School Of Pro Wrestling" and "Squared Circle Gym". When WWE was in Toronto it started billing her as "A Native Of Korea", either to help her FaceHeelTurn along or in continuance of the trend set in 2003 to give Canadians new unCanadian hometowns.

* {{Kayfabe}}: Is a big believer in preserving it, to the point where she was proud that various TNA superstars kept approaching her and asking if she and Jackie Moore really hated each other. Ditto for Awesome Kong. She said she was annoyed when Melina admitted on Twitter that the "horrible friend" thing was just a storyline.

* MaskedLuchador: As La Felina until Traci Brooks beat her in a hair versus mask match.

* SpyCatsuit: La Felina's ring gear floated somewhere between catsuit and LeotardOfPower. After un masking she went with pants a sports bra.

** AJ Styles was her road buddy and tag team partner while touring Australia and Korea. That all came to an end in TNA.

* {{Catfight}}: A few with the Bella Twins. They were ''sort of'' upset about Daniel Bryan turning them down for her.

* StalkerWithoutACrush: Went to Japan after learning Wrestling/{{Jazz}} was there, as she had never gotten a one on one match with her. When Jazz returned to the USA, Gail Kim followed her there too, eventually catching up with a pinning her.

* TheVamp: Molly Holly may have prided herself on her ''own'' wholesomeness and virginity but had no problem degrading Gail Kim's. She made Gail seduce Wrestling/EricBischoff into giving into her demands. It didn't work on Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin though.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: All of her outfits really. She even has TNA attire that can be described as a screened v-neck. Or in this websites terms a {{cleavage window}} with a see through screen to ensure what's behind it stays in place. An AbsoluteCleavage window.
