Professional wrestling career

Canadian independent circuit (2000–2002)

After obtaining her degree from Ryerson University, Kim decided to become a professional wrestler and joined Ron Hutchinson's School of Pro Wrestling in Toronto.[4] She received supplementary training from Rob Etchevarria at the Squared Circle Pro Wrestling Gym.[1] She debuted in December 2000, wearing a mask and wrestling as "The Queen of the Cats" La Felina in the Southern Ontario-based Apocalypse Wrestling Federation. She, however, was eventually unmasked by Tracy Brooks in a "Mask versus Hair" match.[4][5] Kim worked on the Canadian independent circuit for two years, wrestling for promotions such as Border City Wrestling.[6]

World Wrestling Entertainment (2002–2004)

Kim was introduced to World Wrestling Federation (WWF) employee Nora Greenwald (known on-screen as Molly Holly) by Jason Sensation in 2001; Greenwald encouraged Kim to send her videos and tapes to WWF officials.[7] In October 2002, she was hired by the WWF, now renamed World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).[8] She spent eight months training in their then-developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) and wrestled house shows and dark matches before being called up to their main roster.[6] After several weeks of vignettes showcasing Matrix-like effects aired on Raw, Kim debuted on June 30 as a fan favorite, with a Matrix-inspired outfit.[6]

Her first televised WWE match was a seven-woman battle royal on the June 30, 2003 episode of Raw with the WWE Women's Championship, then held by an injured Jazz, on the line.[6] Kim won the match by lastly eliminating Victoria.[6] Kim held the title for four weeks, successfully defending it once against Molly Holly, before losing it to Holly on the July 28 episode of Raw.[9] The following week, Kim turned heel on Trish Stratus, which stemmed from a previous Raw episode where Stratus cost Kim and herself a tag match against Victoria and Holly; Kim subsequently formed an alliance with Holly to take on Stratus, defeating her and various partners on several occasions, until Stratus was later assisted by Lita.[2] At WWE's Unforgiven pay-per-view event on September 21, Stratus and Lita defeated Kim and Holly in a tag team match.[10] The four women continued to feud until November, when Kim was sidelined with a broken right collarbone.[7][8]

Kim returned to Raw in April 2004 and immediately reforged her alliance with Holly.[8] In May 2004, Kim submitted then-Women's Champion Victoria twice, in singles match and a six-woman tag match, earning herself a title shot at Bad Blood.[11][12] However, Lita pinned Kim on the June 7 episode of Raw, and Lita and Trish Stratus were added to the championship match. At Bad Blood on June 13, she faced Lita, Stratus, and Victoria in a Fatal Four-Way match for the WWE Women's Championship, which was won by Stratus.[13]

Kim participated in a battle royal on October 19 at Taboo Tuesday, which was won by Stratus.[8] Kim, however, was released by WWE on November 3, 2004 as a result of cost cutting.[8][14] Kim was caught off guard by her release and was told that management wanted to take the women's division in a new direction.[7]
