Ring of Honor is dedicating an episode of its weekly television to Hana Kimura.
The company recently announced that an episode of "Ring of Honor Wrestling" taking place in July will do a tribute episode to Kimura, who tragically died in May. Below is what ROH said about the future episode.
"As first announced on ?ROH Week By Week,? ROH is dedicating an entire episode of ?Ring of Honor Wrestling? to the late Hana Kimura next month. The tribute show will celebrate Hana?s life and feature some of her outstanding matches."
Kimura wrestled for a number of promotions throughout her career, most notably with Stardom, which did a ten-count in tribute to Kimura on a recent show. Kimura has wrestled for Ring of Honor a handful of times, competing in the tournament to crown an inaugural Women Of Honor champion, losing to eventual tournament winner Sumie Sakai in the first round.
Kimura also wrestled at Madison Square Garden at the ROH/NJPW G1 Supercard in 2019 and also in a match at Wrestle Kingdom 14, teaming with Giulia to face Mayu Iwatani and Arisa Hoshiki in a tag team match.
