There’s an extensive interview with TNA Wrestling Hall of Famer Gail Kim that was put out by Donnie DaSilva and Jimmy Korderas for their HUGE POP! As the conversation moved along, Kim told the story of when TNA offered her a $36,000 deal, which was during the Spike TV days and right after she feuded with Kia Stevens (Awesome Kong). Kim ended up departing TNA. She stated that her feud with Stevens had the highest-rated segments, and she wanted a fair payout for it. But, we were the highest-rated segments consistently, and all I wanted was a fair pay day, and I was offered $36,000.
