She’s famous for her two appearances in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), where she captured the WWE Women’s Championship in her first match.

Kim went on to wrestle as a singles wrestler, winning the TNA Knockouts Championship for the first time in October 2007. She had an acclaimed rivalry with Awesome Kong in TNA, which is widely regarded as one of the best women’s wrestling feuds of the 2000s. Also that year Kim was listed on Forbes’ top 40 list of “America’s Most Eligible Bachelorettes.” She’s a seven-time Knockouts Champion in Impact Wrestling, which is a record.

Kim has since retired from the world of pro wrestling but remains active in the scene and is signed to Impact Wrestling as a producer.
