I wouldn't put Gail near any list of top female wresters. She is really nothing in the ring, benefiting from decent booking in her first TNA run and getting the benefit of being held down, screwed over or whatever other excuse people come up with to ignore how she has done nothing of note outside of the Kong feud. The fact that TNA holds her to such a high regard has set back the Knockouts going back to her return. I'd say she is the KO's equivalent to John Cena but Cena can actually deliver in the ring.

I agree with you about most things wrestling, but we're total opposites on this. I think Gail is fantastic.

Fair enough. I assume he means currently only, but in that case you'd still have to include Cheerleader Melissa, Ayako Hamada, Sarah Stock who all wrestled in TNA and are still around (sort-of in Stock's case), plus a few of the NXT girls. Cheerleader Melissa is really good, but she's not as good as Gail. Hamada isn't as diverse and Sarita was good in her time there and very impressive, but I still find Gail a much better performer overall. How many classic Kim matches can you name though? Hamada and Melissa have had so many. Hamada can brawl, can fly, can go hardcore and is a damn good technical wrestler. She's the complete package.

Not to mention international success in Japan, the USA and Mexico.

To be fair, I think he meant on a bigger stage than SHIMMER. It's still wrong of course. I don't think it's wrong at all. I'm sure if Gail was given time like the women in Shimmer are given, she'd be praised more than the others. She's amazing. Certainly the best mainstream wrestling has to offer. Maybe. But she's never been given that time so how do you know that? It'd be like saying that if Justin Bieber were to be allowed to sing opera he'd be the best at it. Who knows, maybe he'd stun as all and be incredible, but it's just you assuming she would. For all we know if Kim wrestled in Shimmer at the top level she'd be exposed as out of her depth. For what it's worth what did you make of Kim's WWE run? Because Paige's run in WWE has been better than Kim's was. We know Kim was capable of more, as proved by her work in TNA, so why don't you think Paige is?
