Gail Kim may be best known as a pioneer of Impact Wrestling more than her woeful WWE career, but the McMahon-led company did give the Canadian a huge push during her initial few weeks. After being recommended to WWE by Molly Holly, the company were quick to sign Kim in 2003, and aired weeks of Matrix-esque vignettes, highlighting her upcoming debut.

Appearing on the June 30th, 2003 edition of RAW, Kim took part in a seven-woman battle royal, shocking everyone by winning the match and the WWE Women's title in the process. Her reign would be short lived though, as after just one title defense and four weeks as champion, Kim would lose the title in July to her friend Molly. Quickly forgotten by the bookers, Kim would leave WWE the next year, and though she returned in 2008 for a similarly forgettable run, it's her time in Impact which made her a legend.
