Matt Hardy Speaks Out On Gail Kim's TNA Release

It was revealed earlier this week that Gail Kim was one of several executives released from TNA in what came as both a big shock to fans and those working in the company. Kim had spent several years working in TNA both as a wrestler and backstage name.

Reigning TNA World Tag Team Champion Matt Hardy is one of many who were shocked by Kim being let go, taking to his Extreme Life Of Matt Hardy podcast to exclaim his surprise. 

“The Gail Kim departure was definitely shocking, very unexpected. Huge shock. And even reading that news, it was hard to believe that it actually went down. Also, Ariel was a pretty big shock as well…. Gail Kim’s someone who was, like, universally loved. The women felt blessed to have her. She was such an iconic, trailblazing women’s wrestler, right? And she was great with working with them and she really fought hard for the women’s division… There’s some new ownership that just came in. So they’re reformatting, and it’s just above my pay grade, for sure. It’s just stuff that I am not really in the know about.”

It was noted in the aftermath of this news that many TNA talents were not only unhappy, but were also fearful of losing their own jobs after Kim was let go. The legendary performer released a statement after her release.
