10 Wrestlers That Seriously Took The Piss

7. Gail Kim

In a recent tweet on how just how myopic, toxic and emotionally destructive the WWE divas division had the power to be before the company's women's wrestling actually became mostly about women wrestling, Gail Kim called working bra and panties (and similar) stipulation matches "some of the most traumatic moments of my life that I have to live with, feeling like I never had a choice."

It was in response to an Alexa Bliss remark about how much respect for Kim er al because she "couldn't do it", noting the sacrifices the women made in order for females to have any profile on the show before the division eventually became what it is today.

Kim could and should have been one of those moving things forward for the league, but a total disinterest in it from the top downwards left her with little option but to do it elsewhere. Mocking the process she was happy to remove herself from, she lost an August 2010 Raw Battle Royal by rolling out of the ring within seconds of the start. She confirmed her intend to leave the company within days, and was formally released a month later.
