WWE/TNA News: Gail Kim Quits. Now Please Shut the Hell Up

(Bleacher Report)- The professional wrestling industry has no shortage on the embittered and rant-happy. Sure, it can be an ugly business with unhappy endings, and those who choose to sound off about its pitfalls have every right to be heard. But there eventually comes a time where it becomes necessary to move on.

When I see fit, I will single out those who have abused their piss and moan privileges, should cease all complaints and/or diatribes, and live what's left of their lives. Taking cues from an old Chris Jericho catchphrase, I implore you—the disillusioned wrestling personality—to please shut the hell up.

Gail Kim is one of the sacred cows of the online professional wrestling world.  Kim is known for her proficient "workrate" and boasts a decorated history as one of the pioneers of the once successful TNA Knockouts division.  The talented former WWE Women's Champion and TNA Knockouts Champion should have had no problem fitting in as one of the elite talents in WWE's much-maligned Divas division when she returned to the company in 2008.

(Bleacher Report)- Following on the heels of CM Punk’s recent statements concerning his mistreatment at the hands of WWE management, former WWE Divas Gail Kim and Melina have added their own voices to the controversy.

Melina has stated publicly that she is upset by the way the women’s division is being treated, making a specific reference to the short matches that we have become accustomed to seeing lately. She even stated a petition via Twitter, asking fans to add their voices to what she calls, "the disrespect against the Divas." Read more here…
