Gail Kim is notable for her two runs in WWE, several years apart, plus her stint in IMPACT Wrestling where she rose to fame and went on to get inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame in 2016.

Kim is a former WWE Women's Champion and is also a seven-time TNA Knockouts Champion. Kim's first televised WWE match saw her winning her only Women's title in the company. On an episode of RAW in June 2003, Kim eliminated Victoria in the final moments of a battle royal to capture the Women's title. She successfully defended her title once against Molly Holly, before dropping the belt to her soon after.

Celebrity chef Robert Irvine met Gail Kim when a bunch of professional wrestlers appeared on a special episode of Dinner: Impossible. Kim recalled how Irvine liked the fact that he couldn't intimidate her.

He liked the fact that he didn’t intimidate me. We're the only ones who would put up with each other.

Robert proposed to Gail Kim soon after, giving her a special chocolate diamond ring. The couple got married in May 2012 and are still happily together.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
