May 29, 2020May 29, 2020 by Nick

In April of 2019, Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro-Wrestling co-produced an event called G1 Supercard. From that event came a dark match which we have decided to make this week’s Free Match Friday. It is to highlight the late Hana Kimura.

Last weekend, Kimura tragically left this earth. At such a young age of 22, Kimura was a bright star and her talent was unmistakable. Her appearance along with Oedo Tai (Kagetsu and Hazuki) highly represented Stardom.
