Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted April 24, 2003 I finally picked it up. For those two cheap to get it (or scared away by HHH on the cover), here's a lowdown: She's the seventh WWE superstar from the Toronto area. She got her foot in the door largely thanks to Molly, who viewed wrestling footage of her Gail gave to her after her first tryout and presented it to higher ups in WWE. Six months later she had a second tryout, and was notified two days later she was hired. Describes her style as a lucha-libre style due to her the high-flying moves she utilizes. It shocked the hell out of fans at her first house show when she executed a springboard arm drag against Dawn Marie in a Bra and Panties Match. Her father has seen her wrestle once, and her mother never. Her parents support her although they aren't wrestling fans by any stretch. Has often been compared to a female Rey Mysterio, a comparison she's quite flattered by as a fan of his. (Other favorites of hers are Molly, Jamie Noble and Brian Kendrick) She's almost always worked as a heel, but in WWE she's been working as a face so far (YES! No Evil Foreigner gimmick for Gail!), likely will continue to thanks in part to her style and the pops it gets. She has a belly ring in one of the pics...er, how's that relevant? Isn't really. She periodically worked in other promotions as a valet for Simon Diamond. "Maybe he's a good luck charm--everybody [he works with] gets signed by WWE." Finlay mentioned he feels she'll really elevate the Women's Division--so she'll most definately be on Raw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If she pulls this spot out in the same gimmick match on TV, she will be made my favorite WWE Diva immediately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted April 24, 2003 Heheh--well, she's going to be on the Raw roster, and they usually don't book those matches. It would be funny if they made an exception for her. I WANT MY GAIL, VINCE!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is hilarious *and* awesome.... to pull that move off against Dawn Marie of all people... the only way that she would make that more impressive is if she did it against a worse worker, like Sable.

After all who could she possibly have a decent match with on Smackdown? Nidia on a really, really, really good night? Maybe Gayda if the Workrate Fairy clubs her with her magic wand?

Guest Breetai Report post Posted April 25, 2003 Small depressing point: WWE management will tell her to stop doing that in order to not show up the main eventers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted April 25, 2003 Small depressing point: WWE management will tell her to stop doing that in order to not show up the main eventers. I don't think so, since she's not a threat to the Cliqueweight Championship. Well, she could kick Nash's ass easily by hitting and running, but she won't be booked against him.

Guest Space_Cowboy Report post Posted April 25, 2003 Well, with Gail Kim being added to Raw the Women's Division should continue to be more intriguing and entertaining than Raw's Heavyweight Division. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted April 25, 2003 Well, with Gail Kim being added to Raw the Women's Division should continue to be more intriguing and entertaining than Raw's Heavyweight Division. Yup...although Lita could have been good there if she became less sloppy. Of course, knowing WWE they'll forget Eric fired her and have her show up on Raw in 2 months or so when she's healed up and able to wrestle again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2003 can someone answer my question, what's a gimmick? The fact that you don't know what it is kinda scares me. A gimmick is a character, basically. For example, The Hurricane does a superhero gimmick. Get it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least as a face she won't really need them until she gets comfortable enough to be a heel. Some pictures to make up for my lack of a scanner. Bob: Who are Will and Grace?
