TNA Hall of Famer Gail Kim has issued a public statement calling out fans who made negative comments about the physical appearance of the legends who appeared at last night’s WWE Evolution 2 Premium Live Event. Kim urged people to focus on their contributions rather than their looks.
Gail Kim Calls Out Body-Shaming Comments
In a post on her Twitter account, Kim addressed what she saw as a trend of body-shaming comments directed at the returning legends. She explained that this type of criticism is a direct cause of body image issues that performers often face.
“I’m noticing a lot of comments regarding the legends that were on Evolution last night,” Kim wrote. “It seems like a huge amount of comments are in regards to their aging and looks. That’s where all our dysmorphia comes from which I still go through today.”
A Plea To ‘Remember And Celebrate’
Kim contrasted the pre-show excitement from fans about potential surprise appearances with the post-show critiques of those same legends once they appeared. She asked that fans celebrate the wrestlers for their contributions to the business.
“Think before you comment,” she continued. “Pre PPV, people were just excited about who they could possibly see show up. Then when they see them, critiques on their looks. Please don’t do this. We are all human beings. Remember and celebrate what they gave to the business.”
The legends in attendance at Evolution included Torrie Wilson, Cherry, and WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus, among others. Stratus did more than just appear at the event; she competed in a highly praised match for the WWE Women’s Championship against the champion, Tiffany Stratton.
