Gail Kim was hailed as one of the true pioneers of women’s wrestling, especially thanks to her contributions to the business in TNA Wrestling. With that said, she has now claimed that she isn’t in pain despite a severe injury and is opting out of surgery as well.

Gail Kim retired from in-ring competition in the past and is now keeping herself busy as a producer in TNA Wrestling, among other things. Gail Kim recently took to Twitter to share that she has torn her bicep, though she’s uncertain about when or how the injury happened. In her post, she described the situation as having a “Popeye bicep,” mentioning that the tendon rupture happened without a specific moment of pain.

Despite this, she has chosen to avoid surgery for now, opting to manage the injury through therapy and adjusting her workout routine. Gail Kim acknowledged that while surgery is an option, she prefers to avoid it due to the challenging recovery process it entails. She is seeking advice from others who may have experienced similar injuries and is prepared to work around the issue as she continues her daily workouts.

“I officially have a Popeye bicep. My tendon ruptured with no definitive pain or moment and I refuse to have surgery! Anybody have one for years? Did it get worse over time? I workout everyday. But I have a good therapist. Surgery is optional but I’ll have to deal with working around it. This is one of the toughest recoveries surgery wise. That’s why I don’t want to!”
