Speaking on Story Time with Dutch Mantell, Mantell credited Gail Kim and Awesome Kong with helping the Knockouts division become successful. Kim has similarly credited her chemistry with Kong with helping launch the division.
Mantell credited Kim and Kong with getting TNA’s women prepared to succeed.
What did a lot of good in TNA was the girls, and I credit Awesome Kong and Gail Kim because they got those girls cranked up and ready to go.

She didn’t want to give the girls any more money, so the women’s division fell apart.
