If she was trying to make a point, she failed.
The casual fan who knows nothing about her situation didn't see that and go "You go girl, show them who's boss" most of the probably thought "What is her problem".

Actually I doubt even most casual fans noticed it. I didn't even notice it until I saw people here constantly talking about it after it happened. I think it was one of those things some people, including Gail Kim herself, were trying to make it into something bigger than it actually was. It was unprofessional, but it really didn't affect anything as she was suppose to be eliminated within the first minute of the royal anyway, and she did so in a fairly discreet fashion. |

Yeah it does. If you're going to risk getting in trouble for a stunt like that, at least do it in a way were people are going to definitely take notice. That or don't do it at all, and settle your problems in private. |

Even though she could have gone about it a better way, she did prove that WWE doesn't care much about the divas. She didn't quit because she wasn't the top diva, she quit because the divas weren't getting any ring time or good angles. Pretty much the same thing we complain about. I could list the Divas (and Superstars, for that matter) in the same position who have never pulled the same kind of bratty behavior. I sympathize and I understand that she doesn't like the direction of the WWE. Well, I can pretty much guarantee that Phoenix, Natalya, DiBiase, Kidd, DrewMac, and a whole slew of others aren't too satisfied with their own positions in the company. Frustration with your job is no excuse to take your ball and go home in the middle of a show. You talk to management about a bigger role or you ask for your release, but you don't walk off because you feel entitled to something. Period. |

I wouldn't put Beth anywhere near that category though. Natalya either.
I would say something like Hawkins, JTG, etc.

Gail haters to the left. She did what She felt was right. It's WWE's fault for not using her to her potential. And to say She had awful matches? did you confuse her with Kelly? Yes, because we disagree with a person dumping on the people in the ring and the fans by quitting in the middle of a match, everyone must a hater. Sure, they didn't use her well, but she doesn't get off the hook for being a bitter bitch about it. Unprofessional is unprofessional, regardless of who is doing it. I don't care what he felt, her actions make her look bad to everyone but the most ardent fanboys and fangirls. |

I completely agree that Gail wasn't given a real chance to make an impact (no pun intended) this last run. However, what she did lacked professionalism. What she did was selfish and extremely conceited. She gets no sympathy whatsoever because of the way she handled this instance. You sign a contract. Grin and f***ing bear it. |

I don't recall Anyone saying what she did Was Unprofessional so obviously it went unnoticed. Hell Yea it was unprofessional but at least she has the balls to stand up for herself and not take her mistreatment lying down. |

Right? Shitting on the product on live TV? Thats not going to get you what you want ever in a corporate culture. Thats spoiled brat stuff. Im not bashing her. I know how talented she is. I agree with HER that they should've done her better. She did it the wrong way. |

Hell Yea it was unprofessional but at least she has the balls to stand up for herself and not take her mistreatment lying down. Except she basically did the opposite. She slipped out in a crowd of about twenty people when the camera wasn't focused on her, which'd probably make it harder than hell to even notice she'd left - particularly with most people backstage probably busy preparing for later in the show - and then used it being naturally overlooked as the basis for throwing a fit. Like, it'd be something - at least as a sign that she means business - if she did it in the middle of a tag match or something (though not so much those clusterf*** ones they like to do), but in a battle royal it was an oddly cowardly rebellion. |

While I agree that she was acting unprofessional, I think its being a bit overblown.
She quit in the middle (at the beginning, actually) of a match that she wasn't expected to factor into anyway. Was it unprofessional? Clearly. Did it ruin the match or detract from it in any way? Not really. Most people didn't notice and those who did just went "Oh, where's Gail? Hmm, I must have missed her being eliminated. *shrug*." And as far as her bitching on Twitter goes, it wasn't the epitome of class, but there have been far worse offenders in that regard.
So yeah, she could have handled it better. However, they weren't using her anyway, so it really didn't matter in the grand scheme of things.

Hell Yea it was unprofessional but at least she has the balls to stand up for herself and not take her mistreatment lying down. Just because they didn't see her do it from the announcer table on the other side of the ring, on the ground, with other wrestlers in the way, doesn't mean it wasn't unprofessional. She's been in the company before, she knew what she was getting in to, she just has a famous boyfriend now and decided to quit in an unprofessional manner. She doesn't like the way she was used? Fine, that's her right. But the way she left was the least professional way she could have short of shooting on the match. As far as standing up for herself, she wanted to be pushed and wasn't. Yeah, sure, she should be unhappy about that, but the way she handled it doesn't give me any reason to applaud for her. |

So She had every right to do what she did. No, she didn't. There is a good way to handle things and a bad way. She chose the bad way. |

It's hard to sympathise when she changes her damn story. First she said she did it because Melina, who was supposed to eliminate her, got tossed accidentally so she had to eliminate herself. Then she said she did it to see who was paying attention. Which is it?
