As previously noted here on eWn by Andrew Ravens, Gail Kim recently talked with former WWE creative writer Kevin Eck of Pressbox & during their conversation, Gail & Kevin discussed WWE Chairman Vince McMahon’s philosophy on Women’s wrestling.

Kevin Eck“When I worked on the WWE creative team; I started in 2011 right after you left the company, Vince McMahon said several times that “no one wants to see the girls fight like the guys.” Was that something that was ever said or implied to you while you were there?”

Gail Kim“It wasn’t politically correct to say out loud, nor would they say that straight up, but, I’m not going to say which agent said it, but they would tell us that Vince doesn’t like that. I remember specifically a match I had on “Superstars” with Jillian. We got seven minutes, which was rare back then;  we usually got three minutes. There’s no way to tell a story in the ring in that time, so when we had a match on “Superstars” it was like a pay-per-view match. Jillian and I had awesome chemistry, so we’d want to wrestle. We wanted to do a superplex off the top rope, and the agent, again, I’m not going to name names said, “Go ahead, I’ll take the heat for it,” because he knew Vince wouldn’t really be happy with that. Now I heard WWE has announced a Money in the Bank match for the girls. I honestly feel like [Triple H] has done so much for the girls because he started that whole thing in NXT with the Four Horsewomen. When I left WWE, he was one of the people who was so positive. He told me, “You’re talented and don’t let anyone else tell you any different.” I was very flattered and glad that he respected women’s wrestling.”
