This isn’t the first time Gail Kim has been seen in the NWA
The Crockett Cup marks a return of sorts for Gail Kim, who was also featured at NWA Empowerrr in 2021. Kim appeared on-screen for the official retirement ceremony for Awesome Kong, one of her greatest rivals in TNA. Kim was one of the team of producers that Mickie James recruited to help with Empowerrr, highlighting why she chose her team.
“They’re the ones sitting at the table with me making these decisions, helping to build the vision for each person. It’s a lot of work, especially because it’s all these women that haven’t necessarily had a spotlight put on them. And to really showcase who they are, we need to do that and I’m one person. I need the right people in there to guide that vision of what that is. I’m excited,” James stated. “I feel like I couldn’t have picked a better team to stand alongside. I think we all want the same thing, especially for women’s wrestling and it’s exciting. It’s exciting and it’s a good core group of people who are well-respected in the business.”
Kim held many roles during her time in TNA. She served as an in-ring performer, on-air figure, producer and co-Head of Talent Relations for IMPACT/TNA Wrestling since 2011, her second run with the company. Gail Kim was released by TNA in March, a decision the company claimed was due to restructuring.
