IMPACT Wrestling Hall of Famer and professional wrestling legend Gail Kim recently had a conversation with Denise Salcedo on a number of topics, including how IMPACT has been a roller coaster such as how wrestling in general has been a roller coaster due to the changes that has been happening and how the company has gone through a little bit of a negative period, especially when fans wanted to hate them, but she feels like they have really turned things around.
Gail Kim also talked about how the storylines, the characters, the wrestling and the wrestlers in the company has really helped in the success and how every person is being utilized as well as how IMPACT Wrestling has been killing every PPV they have ran in 2022 and how their upcoming Slammiversary Event will be no different.
Gail Kim said:
“It’s been a roller coaster, but I feel like wrestling in general is a roller coaster to be honest. I’ve seen many management changes, who’s in charge, and we’ve always kind of been this little underdog trying to prove to everyone that we are the best wrestling product on TV.”
“We went through a little bit of a negative period where I think that fans just wanted to hate us, and now, we feel like it’s really turned around. I get comments all the time from people and I respect their opinions, you know, from fans to people in the business that say, ‘You guys have the best product on TV right now.'”
“The storylines, the characters, the wrestling, the wrestlers have so much talent, and everyone’s being utilized. You really look at that roster and you go, ‘Okay, everyone’s part of the show.’ It’s incredible and we really do just come together because we feel like the underdog sometimes to produce.”
“I think, in my opinion, in 2022, we’ve been killing every Pay-Per-View consistently. So I feel like Slammiversary is going to be no different except we’re going to have a special feeling in the air, obviously. We don’t even know the whole card yet. Whatever has been released right now is already so impressive to me, but I know there’s going to be some nostalgic faces. There’s going to be reunions of sorts. I don’t even know everyone that’s on the card right now because I like to be surprised.”
