Report: Vince McMahon Was Hesitant On Hiring Gail Kim?

UPDATED: In a post on Twitter, Gail Kim stated she does not blame JR at all for anything that happened when she was with the company. She said:

@NJ_JeffK @JRsBBQ @WRESTLEZONEcom @VinceMcMahon I don't blame JR for someone else's ignorance. JR has always been respectful to me

ORIGINAL: Earlier this week on his Ross Report podcast, Jim Ross noted that back when Gail Kim was initially hired by WWE, Vince McMahon was hesitant to do so because she was Asian-American. Ross said that while he also spoke about Kim’s in-ring ability to sell her to Vince, he also had to take drastic measures.

He said: ““I remember Vince said, ‘You want to hire this Asian girl, right? I don’t know, I just don’t know.’ And I said, ‘Well Vince, you know, there’s a lot of guys that like Asian women. There’s Asian porn sites.’ ”

This news, according to Ross, “shocked” Vince. Kim later responded to this on Twitter.

Nothing I'm really surprised at concerning @VinceMcMahon yes it's in poor taste but it's his character https://t.co/ucWlDSucod

In his latest blog on his official website, Ross went on to explain his claims. He said: “For the record, I am and have said on many occasions that Gail Kim is one of my ALL TIME favorite performers of any gender. She’s Canadian of Asian decent and a beautiful person inside and out. When pitching me hiring her, was I wrong to say that many men were attracted to Asian females? I obviously should have used a better illustration to explain that point than mentioning Asian adult websites being revenue generators but it was merely to illustrate my point as unfortunate as it was in hindsight. My problem is that I am honest and have no issues admitting when I make an error in judgment, if one was made, but the web site point wasn’t what got Gail hired in WWE. It was her ability in the ring and the fact that she did have a great look. She is a credit to any organization that she’s affiliated with and i’d hire her again tomorrow if given the opportunity.“
