Hana Kimura, Stella Grey, and Sumie Sakai vs. Jenny Rose and Oedo Tai – G1 Supercard ROH

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.

It is clear that Kimura was the next big thing. She is loved and missed by many.

Please enjoy this match and discuss what you thought of it in the comment section below.

If you are a Stardom fan, discuss other favorite matches of Hana’s that you enjoyed as well.

R.I.P Hana Kimura –

We all need to do better and love one another.

Viper vs. Kay Lee Ray – ICW Queen of Insanity Match 12.02.18

Before Viper (now Piper Niven) and Kay Lee Ray were mainstays on NXT UK, these women battled in several matches on the independent scene. One of the most highlighted matchs in their career took place with Insane Championship Wrestling (ICW) with a Queen of Insanity Match.

In late 2018, Viper put her ICW Women’s Championship on the line against Ray who was no stranger to holding the belt herself. The two would battle it out with using just about any weapon you could think of.

This war between the two was very big throughout their rivalry and it is highlighted very well in the gruesome match.
