Gail Kim is a woman of many, many talents, and she credits Jeff Jarrett for helping her discover her knack for producing wrestling shows.
Women’s wrestling legend Gail Kim recently appeared on Oral Sessions with Renee Paquette and the former Knockouts Champion would delve into how she got into producing back in 2007 when she simply asked Jeff Jarrett for the opportunity.
“I always talk about the fact that, you know, Jeff Jarrett, back in 2007 when there was no women’s wrestling really being put on any type of platform, gave us that opportunity. Since then, I think, he’s always believed in me and once I became a leader in the locker room, the girls started coming to me and asking me my feedback and all those things,” Gail explained. “Eventually, I knew to continue on in this business, I loved putting matches together and it was something that I was really good at, so I just asked Jeff, ‘do you mind? I want to become a producer.’
“He said ‘yeah, okay!’ and I asked if I could shadow one of the producers that are there now and he said ‘yeah, yeah, yeah!’ and then he threw me on a live pay-per-view. So, that was fun, but you know what, you learn the fastest when you’re thrown into things and maybe you might not do the best job,” she explained, “but I’m okay with making mistakes and learning along the way.”
Gail Kim currently serves as an agent and on-air character with IMPACT Wrestling, and also helped produce the NWA’s Empowerrr event this summer.
