12 Awesome Wrestling Gimmicks WWE Didn’t Know How To Handle
10. Gail Kim
Though not technically a gimmick in the traditional sense, Gail Kim's reputation as the best Women's wrestler in North America whilst leading TNA's revolutionary Knockouts Division was criminally cast aside when she made her 2009 WWE return.
Despite re-signing with WWE in late-2008, the company elected to keep her off television until March the following year, where she inauspiciously crept back onto the roster via a run-in on both competitors, failing to position her as a either face or a heel.
Worst of all, the re-debut came two weeks before the demeaning 'Miss WrestleMania Battle Royal' at the twenty-fifth iteration of the show. Kim was shunted into that amongst peers far below her talent and stature.
More misery followed, with Kim rarely able to get a foothold in a useless Divas division, before a romantic pairing with Daniel Bryan in early 2011 at least gave her a slight sense of direction for the first time since her return.
After several more months of frustration, Kim allowed her her contract to expire mid-way through 2011 to allow an immediate return to TNA.
Humorously, she calmly eliminated herself from a Raw battle royal shortly before her WWE exit, exquisitely highlighting how little attention was paid to female performers and their actions.
