Hmmmm. Well we know Britani is going to be there as this is the 3rd video Dave has posted of her, but is this a clue that Saraya will be the 2nd one?...

Wasn't the first video Britani v Shanna? Could well be Shanna to add a further international flavour. Or have her feud with Ariel for the crown of Portuguese Princess.

I have said it before, I'm crossing my fingers for Saraya. Knight Dynasty vs Canadian Ninjas for the belts. And a re-match between Saraya and Melissa after Melissa broke Saraya's leg a few years back.

The first one was Britani Knight vs. Shanna, then Britani Knight vs. Wesna. This one is Sweet Saraya vs. Britani Knight. The first two matches list Britani first, this one lists Saraya before Britani.... yeah, I know I'm clutching at straws here, but I think the Knight's are both coming... |

Yeah I hope so too, for both reasons Trellian said, but I wanna throw out some potential mystery and suspense.

:)The ring looks small. ;)I guess this is just my Americanism coming through. Just not used to it.

No, it IS that small.

You should see the size of the ring the last two ChickFight events took place in. I think it was impossible to lock on a submission hold as rope breaks were instantaneous.

Though that ring in the video shown appears to be 14x14 (perhaps apron to apron rather than rope to rope) in all fairness the traditional standard size ring in Europe is and always has been 16x16. There are only 3 20x20 rings in the UK, two are from companies who don't rent out and another owned by an 18 year old kid who may or may not show up to your event dependent on whether or not on that day his mum lets him (seriously).
The reason it tends to be that way is because most venues don't allow / can't fit 20x20 rings (unless you're booking huge venues which are not cost effective) and the longer beams (unless they cut down but then a number of those rings tend to have a whole host of problems as anyone who went to the RQW shows in Bethnal Green, London will attest to) also means that transportation is next to impossible as very few people in the business can afford to own the sized vehicle required which more than often doubles up as the companies storage for the ring so then they have the problem of where they store the truck.
If anyone saw the TWC International Showdown event that took place at the 3000 seated Coventry Skydome you'll possibly be shocked to know that it was a 14x14 ring used for that event due to some of the issues mentioned above. I do believe this tends to be an issue more experienced in the UK then anywhere else. But when you consider the 16x16 is the norm and you hear of all the 'classic' matches that have taken place in the UK and Europe I'd make a safe bet that while it may not be as visually appealing to some on screen (which can sometimes come across as being smaller than it actually is dependent on where you place your hardcam) it's not an actual issue as far as in-ring action is concerned, additionally a lot of talent say they prefer the 16x16 as it means they don't get knackered out running the ropes and there is less 'waiting times' on some moves. So really it all comes down to personal preference. I can understand people's favouritisms towards both to be honest as it very much is swings and roundabouts.

The ring in the WAW footage is 14x14 as it fits on a dance floor in the venue and to leave a legal limit between ring and audience we use a smaller ring. For our man shows normally we use a six sided ring.
