10 Wrestlers Who Suffered For Being Too Good

When talking about the all-time great female wrestlers, Gail Kim has to be in the conversation.

It's absolutely incredible to realise that Gail Kim was only afforded one 27-day Women's Championship reign during her two spells with WWE. While that first WWE stint at least saw Kim tangling with the likes of Victoria, Trish Stratus, Molly Holly, and Lita, the highly talented grappler's WWE return in 2008 was a complete farce.

By this point, Gail Kim had seen her stock rise by putting on excellent matches in TNA as part of the stellar Knockouts division. As a result, many were expecting Gail to be a star attraction of WWE's female roster following that return to Vince McMahon's sports entertainment juggernaut.

Instead, Kim was put in a position where her in-ring skills were used to make vastly inferior women look better than they ever were. There were some brights spots, such as matches against Mickie James and Beth Phoenix, but the majority of that three-year WWE run found Gail Kim working with painfully awful in-ring talents like Jillian Hall, Kelly Kelly, Alicia Fox, and Maryse.

So disappointing was this run for Gail Kim, it all came to an end up when she went off-script to eliminate herself from a Battle Royal before handing her notice. Thankfully, a return to TNA was on the agenda in 2011 and Gail would get to spend the next several years again showcasing why she was one of the best wrestlers on the planet.
