MsChif is going to win!!!! You're probably right. No reason for MsChif to come in, mist Haze and then lose to SDR.

SDR has lost twice to MsChif. I don't think it'll happen again.

How long did the Chif/SDR match last? The reporter on PWInsider sounded (naturally) disappointed by the length. The show on the whole though sounded like 2 thumbs up, which is terrific to hear.

The match was indeed short and kind of one-sided in favor of Death Rey, I thought. Del Rey used a pretty cool move as a finisher, though, was something like Shingo's Original Falconry, I think; a wrist clutch Olympic slam.
The whole show was really good, overall, though.

It was like five minutes. Popcorn match, coming out of intermission. Everyone basically agrees it should have been given more time to develop. Hopefully the WM weekend ROH shows will give the women more of a spotlight.

Hopefully the WM weekend ROH shows will give the women more of a spotlight. I hope so, too. Given the fact there will be some debuts for ROH during WM weekend. Yeah, the match was too short. Not that ROH has never had any short matches before, but for how it was built up (Del Rey needing some competition and MsChif having the upper hand on her the last couple of times they faced in ROH) it was definitely disappointing.

It's a bit frustrating that ROH keeps talking about wanting to strengthen and build it's women's division and yet still it's just Del Rey and Haze wrestling each other, or wrestling guest women who lose and thus don't have much reason to come back. I mean it's great that the Women of Honor are being showcased and hopefully it trickles down a buy here or there for Shimmer, but I do wish for more from an honour based wrestling company.

I liked SDR's finisher, and MsChif's bit of revenge, but it was way too short. Otherwise it was a very good show.

Hopefully the WM weekend ROH shows will give the women more of a spotlight. 4 minutes for the women, 10 to 30 minutes for the men. They do it again and again. (Yes, I'm repeating myself, but ROH is repeating itself too.) How can a promotion be so good and so disagreeable at the same time?

Joshi Comes To Atlanta!
Ring of Honor is excited to announce an agreement has been reached to bring in three of the top current generation Joshi stars from S-Ovation in Japan! Hiroyo Matsumoto, Ayumi Kurihara, and Tomoka Nakagawa will debut in Ring of Honor during the “Honor takes Center Stage” weekend on 4/1 and 4/2 in Atlanta, GA!
All three of these Joshi stars have competed on events promoted by S-Ovation under the IBUKI banner in recent years, and most recently on their “Joshi 4 Hope” event. Additionally, they currently appear for several promotions in Japan, including OZ Academy and Pro Wrestling WAVE.
HIROYO MATSUMOTO Height: 5’5″ Weight: 70 kg (150 lbs.) Hometown: Hiratsuka City, Kanagawa, Japan Pro Debut: July 2006
Hiroyo Matsumoto is a young wrestler who many see as the future of the Joshi scene. Known as “Lady Destroyer” Matsumoto debuted in 2006 and in her short career has held some of the most prestigious championships in Joshi wrestling including titles in JWP, NEO and OZ Academy. She also has won tournaments in NEO and Sendai Girls and defeated some of the top female wrestlers in Japan. Matsumoto loves to finish off opponents with the Backdrop Driver and Tokaido Drop. During the spring of 2010, Hiroyo made her American debut for SHIMMER, and had the opportunity to battle Sara Del Rey in singles action.
AYUMI KURIHARA Height: 5’5″ Weight: 57kg (126 lbs.) Hometown: Tokyo, Japan Pro Debut: April 2005
Ayumi Kurihara debuted in 2005 for M’s Style and is known for the exploder suplex and uranage. Kurihara closed her 2010 with great success in Japan, making history by defeating Yoshiko Tamura on the final event promoted by NEO, to become the last NEO singles and NWA Pacific Women’s Champion. Ayumi is on her way to being one of the top joshi stars and has dazzled fans with her hard hitting style and passionate drive to be the best. Kurihara became the first of the visiting Joshi stars to work her way into main event status in SHIMMER, after scoring an impressive string of victories against several established American women wrestlers.
TOMOKA NAKAGAWA Height: 5’1″ Weight: 58kg (128 lbs.) Hometown: Tokyo, Japan Pro Debut: January 2005
Tomoka Nakagawa debuted in 2005 in a tag match with Yuu Yamagata against Taka Michinoku and Ryota Chikuzen. She is one of the only female wrestlers to break in with Kaientai Dojo in Japan. Tomoka and Ayumi Kurihara have taken their feud from Japan to both Mexico and SHIMMER in the United States during the past year. Nakagawa is a lady that is not afraid to take liberties with the rules and in combination with Tomoka’s vast array of lethal kicks and bridging fisherman suplex, she is one of the most dangerous women on the Joshi scene. During 2010, Nakagawa formed a very successful tag team with Daizee Haze in SHIMMER, where they are currently undefeated as a tandem.
For the first time ever Joshi pro wrestling comes to ROH at “Honor Takes Center Stage” on 4/2 and 4/1! Tickets are sold out, but you can still catch all the action live on iPPV with GoFightLive.TV (http://www.gfl.tv/Events/Fight/Wrestling/Honor_Takes_Center_Stage_Both_Shows/968). With a great deal of only $19.99 for BOTH events, or $14.99 individually, it’s a can’t beat buy for the best wrestling around!
