As Sara Del Rey revealed to us exclusively last month, word is that Ring of Honor is looking to add a women’s division to its new television show in 2012.
The company never had full-fledged women’s division on its previous TV incarnation, rather the odd match here and there, despite fans calling to see weekly matches and storylines amongst the women. It looks like we just may get our wish in the coming year.
One woman who must certainly be in line for a spot in the division if it does come to fruition is Mia Yim, currently the only female listed on the Ring of Honor roster.
Speaking to us last night on DD360 prior to this weekend’s ROH Final Battle Internet pay per view, she said: “I really hope I’m involved. I don’t know [many] details about it besides that next year… I was just told that next year they’re going to be starting a women’s division. I don’t know if they’re going to have their own belt or anything.”
“I am assuming — this isn’t official or anything — but I’m assuming that Sara [Del Rey] is going to be involved. At least I’m hoping [she is]. Daizee [Haze], MsChif… you know, all the girls that were involved previously with Ring of Honor. I’m hoping that they’re all going to be involved as well.”
When asked who she’d like to see in the division, Yim added: “If I could pick the girls that haven’t been in Ring of Honor already, I would love to see Marti Belle, Jenny Rose, even though she was already in it as Jamilia Craft, I would love to see Jenny Rose, that character, in Ring of Honor because it would definitely bring something different.”
She continued: “There’s a girl in Philly, her name is Kimber Lee and she’s probably been wrestling as long as I have. We train together at CZW and had a couple of matches together, and she can go. She is really good. I can definitely see her in Ring of Honor hopefully at some point. She is as tough or tougher than me. So I’m hoping that she can get in, Marti, Jenny, Annie Social — like, just a different crop of girls.”
Who would you like to see in an ROH women’s division?
