Gail Kim Says She Would Need Something ‘Really Special’ To Have One More Match

Gail Kim retired from the ring years ago, and while she’s not completely shutting the door on one more match she says it would need to be something very special. Kim retired from the ring in 2017. Since then she has only worked two matches, most recently in 2023.

Kim recently spoke with the Toronto Sun for an interview. During the conversation, she was asked about the possibility of another match. You can see highlights below (per Fightful):

On a Potential Return To the Ring:

“Of course you miss the sport of wrestling, I miss having that adrenaline rush. I don’t mind doing some physicality spots here and there if I’m ever booked for anything. A full match is something entirely different, I guess I would say never say never but it would have been something really, really special. For me to get conditioned for a full match, I don’t think people realize how hard it is to train for the cardio of a professional wrestling match.”

On Being Protective Of Her Legacy:

“Also, the last thing, which is the more important thing, I care about my legacy. I care about my body of work that I left behind and what fans remember of me. If I’m coming out of retirement, this is going to be the last thing they remember. I don’t want them to think I’ve slowed down, I don’t want them to think I’m rusty or whatever it is. I’m very hard on myself when it comes to that.”
