Crossbody of Work Episode 17: Gail Kim

Welcome to Crossbody of Work, a show where we break down a wrestler’s career through five of their biggest matches.

This week we are covering one of the most accomplished women’s wrestlers of the 2000s and 2010s: Gail Kim. We take a look at her very successful WWE debut in 2003. Then we cover her TNA run, including a pair of legendary matches involving herself and Awesome Kong. On top of Kim’s great career, Evan & Javier also talk about:

• How poorly some commentary has aged
• Shoutouts for Molly Holly & Victoria
• ODB entering the Hair Hall of Fame
• The dangers of covering hockey games

And a lot more.
