Gail Kim Says Watching Riho Made Her Feel Uncomfortable, Doesn’t Find Her Believable

In a series of posts on Twitter, Gail Kim gave her opinion on AEW wrestler Riho, noting that watching her made her feel uncomfortable due to multiple reasons. She added that she didn’t find the former AEW Women’s World Champions matches to be believable.

She wrote: “I will say, and I haven’t watched AEW in a very long time, but when I did watch Riho and nothing against her at all bc I am The biggest supporter of all women who wanna make it in this business, but I did feel uncomfortable watching her because the camera shots would go up her skirt and she was always dressed like a very little girl and it felt improper. I am also into very believable Wrestling. Not everyone is especially nowadays. And it was very hard for me to believe a little girl that was being portrayed of that size was fighting the women they had in that division. To put it into context, I find Io, Mia, Asuka, Kairi and Lei Ying to be more believable and I don’t feel uncomfortable watching.”

When a fan noted that Riho is the same size as AJ Lee, Kim added: “OK, I’m not taking anything away from her talent. I’m talking about what I saw years ago and what made me feel uncomfortable.She looked like a very young girl in a frilly skirt and the camera man was up her ass. It just felt inappropriate to me.

Finally, she concluded: “I’m not going to comment on the Riho thing again. I have stated my opinion. It was a four part tweet so you can look at that again if you don’t understand what I was saying. It was more than about her size. It was a combination of things. I was asked about it, and I answered.”

I listenedto this whole clip. Which I said I didn’t want clips, but that’s fine. The only issue that I had was that he made a comment about her teeth.I will say, and I haven’t watched AEW in a very long time, but when I did watch Riho and nothing against her at all bc I am (1/4) https://t.co/R3i2ARS60a

Stephanie didn’t look underage when the camera man was shooting her ass. That particular show I saw years ago she looked very young and it felt uncomfortable to me. What is so hard to understand? I could twist your words to you know. You like to watch young girls up their skirts? https://t.co/UowjGcSD3B

Ok guys am
I speaking English or what? I said Riho looked like that in ONE particular show YEARS ago. What is it that you’re not computing? That was probably when AEW was in its first year or so or early years. Are you guys just wanting a fight or is it just incompetence here?
