Gail Kim Says TNA Is “Small,” Mickie James Talks a Heel Turn

August 26, 2009

MSN.com conducted interviews with WWE Divas Gail Kim, Mickie James and Michelle McCool during this past SummerSlam weekend. The following are highlights:

Gail Kim on WWE vs TNA: "TNA is smaller," Kim told MSN.com. "WWE is a bigger production and you get many more fans. It’s so exciting to perform in front of so many people. It is what we thrive off of."

Mickie James on a possible heel turn: "If it came to that, I would totally embrace that opportunity. I am very much a perfectionist so if I were to turn heel, I’d want to be the nastiest girls out there, where the people hated me," James told MSN.com. "It’d be a really hard task for me because I am a fan favorite and there has been a lot of hard work on my part to earn their respect. So, even if they hated me, I think they’d still love me."

Michelle McCool on her current character: "It’s the all-American girl gone bad," McCool said. "Initially, the name callings from 6- and 7-year-olds was tough. My heart was in my stomach. But it is more fun to play someone that you are not. I think for the rest of my life, I don’t want them to ever cheer for me again."
