Gail Kim stirred up controversy when she questioned the credibility of AEW star Rihoand now things have taken a disturbing turn. A deranged AEW fan allegedly sent an unhinged email threatening both Kim and former WWE referee Jimmy Korderas after her remarks went public.
Jimmy Korderas shared the disturbing message on Twitter, exposing the extreme backlash that followed Gail Kims opinion. The fan accused Kim of being jealous of Riho and blasted the HUGE POP podcast for even featuring her.
This violent outburst was allegedly sparked by Kims take on Rihos presentation, which she believed lacked realism in the ring. Kim previously stated that former AEW employees agreed with her take, suggesting that Riho didnt come off as a believable performer despite her in-ring skill.
While wrestling debates are common among fans and personalities, threatening violence crosses a very serious line. Its one thing to disagreebut no one should ever be subjected to personal threats, especially over wrestling opinions.
Threats like these not only reveal the toxicity in parts of the fanbase, they also raise concerns for the safety of talent and media alike. Hopefully, Gail Kim and Jimmy Korderas remain safe and continue speaking their truth without fear.
