WWE Confidential Report for 7/12/2003.
First up is a piece on the newest member of the Raw roster, Gail Kim. We’re reminded that 2 weeks ago Gail, in her WWE TV debut, won a 7-woman Battle Royal to become our new Women’s Champion. Gail talks about becoming a wrestler and her arrival in WWE in our ‘Cover Story’.
As footage of her ‘Matrix’ flavored pre-debut video rolls, Gail remembers having a major case of the butterflies while waiting to make her first walk down the ramp-bugs were instantly gone as the crowd popped. Gail describes picking up the gold during her first match as a dream come true.
We get down to brass tacks-Gail hails from Toronto, Ontario, where she was a high school ‘Athlete of the Year’. She recalls participating in basketball, baseball, volleyball, softball and badminton (hey, she’s hardcore!). She’s been a fan of both Raw and Smackdown for quite a while, and eventually (no exact time specified) decided to give the biz a shot. She got her first training in the ‘Squared C ircle’ Pro Wrestling Gym, and quickly developed an affinity for taking to the air. She also digs the more technical aspects of wrestling-Chris Benoit and Rey Mysterio are cited as current favorites.
We get footage of Gail doing a photo shoot-excuse me while I wipe some drool off my keyboard.
Gail feels she brings something new to the WWE table, both as a wrestler and as eye candy. Segment wraps with Gail, in reference to making it to WWE, stating ‘I always believed that I could’.
