The Apocalypse Wrestling Federation and wrestling trainer Ron Hutchison would like to congratulate 25 year old Gail Kim for becoming the latest in a long line of talented Canadian wrestlers to be trained by Hutchison to be given a contract to work for World Wrestling Entertainment based out of Stamford, CT.
Ms. Kim enrolled in Ron Hutchison's Pro Wrestling Gym in Toronto on Nov. 28, 2000. She trained and worked with Mr. Hutchison, AWF President Rod Boudreau and their Toronto, Canada based Apocalypse Wrestling Federation from Dec. 2000 to April 2002. Ms. Kim's first match was held in April 2001 at the Apocalypse Wrestling Federation's Lords of the Ring card held at the Birchmount Tavern in Toronto when she debuted under a mask as La Felina. Ms. Kim's first match also saw her first defeat as her team came out on the losing end of a 6 person Inter-Gender Tag Team Match. Ms. Kim's last AWF match (her 41st sanctioned Apocalypse Wrestling Federation match, out of an estimated 48 matches so far in her career) also ended in defeat when she was pinned by the Fabulous Firebird Phoenix.
In March 2002, as part of the AWF/ CHIN Radio and Television International booth set up at the WWE's Wrestlemania Fan Axxess in Toronto prior to Wrestlemania 18, Felina, on hand daily during Access to sign autographs and promote upcoming Apocalypse Wrestling Federation events, was given the opportunity to meet with and present her promo package to WWE ladies star Molly Holly. She was also introduced to fellow Ron Hutchison trainee Trish Stratus at Access. Also, just days before Wrestlemania 18, Felina was featured on Toronto Television station CITY TV's local newscasts as an up and coming lady wrestling star. Footage of her training at Ron Hutchison's Pro Wrestling Gym aired on the popular Toronto news program.
As the Apocalypse Wrestling Federation's La Felina, Ms. Kim's picture graced the pages of Rampage Wrestling Magazine (Summer 2002) and she also appeared in training pictures taken from Ron Hutchison's Pro Wrestling Gym in an article titled "Ron Hutchison: Trainer To The Stars" in the Aug. 2002 edition of TV Wrestlers magazine.
Based on her Apocalypse Wrestling Federation exploits from 2001 and 2002 Pro Wrestling Illustrated's Women of Wrestling magazine (Fall 2002) named Felina a "Breakout Diva for the year 2002" in yet another full page article complete with a color photo taken at Hutchison's gym.
A complete history of Ms. Kim's exploits in the Apocalypse Wrestling Federation, including her pro wrestling debut, unmasking and pictures can be found in the shows section of the official web site of the AWF at www.awf.ca. Felina also appears in the TV Wrestlers magazine article titled "Ron Hutchison: Trainer To The Stars" online soon at www.wrestlingtraining.com-- the official web site of Ron Hutchison's Pro Wrestling Gym.
Ms. Kim is the eighth of Hutchison's students to be recruited by one of the major United States wrestling organizations. Current WWE stars including 3 time WWE Women's champion Trish Stratus, Edge and Christian are also products of Hutchison's world famous pro-wrestling training program. Former WWE performers Tiger Ali Singh, Jason Sensation and Just Joe also trained with Hutchison before stepping into the ring as did, former WCW and ECW wrestler Johnny Swinger.
