Matt Hardy comments on Gail Kim's departure from TNA.
March 25 was a dark day for fans of TNA Wrestling, as respected individuals like Gail Kim, Ariel Shnerner, Rob Kligman, and Michael Shewchenko were all fired from the company.
The firing of Gail Kim specifically rocked the world of wrestling, as she was widely considered to be one of the promotion's most valuable employees.
On the latest edition of his The Extreme Life Of Matt Hardy podcast, Matt Hardy commented on the news, saying that the departures were shocking.
“The Gail Kim departure was definitely shocking, very unexpected. I don’t think you could have asked anyone if that was on their list of somebody that would be released — I don’t think anybody thought that would have been a possibility. Yeah, huge 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. Those were the two that stood out the most. Also, Gail Kim, someone who was universally loved, the women felt blessed to have her, she was such an iconic trailblazing women’s wrestler. She was great with working with them and she really fought hard for the women’s division. So, yeah, I don’t know. Anthem is the major company, 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. I don’t know what went into those decisions, I have no idea, but it did catch a lot of people off guard.”
Hardy recently stated that there is a strong possibility that you'll see the TNA Tag Team Championships on the main roster in the future. Check out his full comments by clicking here.
