11. Gail Kim

Even though Gail Kim stands at 5'4 and only weighs 120lbs, she's one of the toughest and hard-hitting wrestlers of her time. While she's willing to rsik her body with Running Dropkicks and top rope aerial acts, she's a submission specialist utilizing unique moves like the Ringpost Figure Four, Diamondback's Leglock, and her patented Queen of Spades maneuver. Kim is one of those all-atround complete wrestlers that has undeniable talent and ring presence. Her finishing moves in the Happy Ending and Eat Defeat have won her over eighty matches.

After wrestling in the North American independent circuit, Gail Kim joined the WWE in 2002 where she won the WWE Women's Championship in her debut match making her the only woman to do so. Kim bounced back and forth from the WWE and TNA where she won the TNA Knockouts Championship (7x), the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship (1x), the Queen of the Knockouts tournament in 2013, and TNA World Cup in 2015. In 2018, Kim retired from in-ring action and currently works as a producer for TNA where she was also inducted in the Hall of Fame.
