Following the retirement of 25-year veteran Malia Hosaka last week, Traditional Championship Wrestling has changed its upcoming triple threat match between Hosaka, TNA star Mickie James and SHIMMER Champion Cheerleader Melissa.
As reported a couple of weeks ago, the trio were due to face off on Apri 7th in Fort Smith, Arkansas, but as Hosaka has now retired, the match will now be a singles bout between James and Melissa.
The match is something of a rematch from the pair’s first ever encounter on Ring Ka King last month where Melissa wrestled Mickie under the Alissa Flash name.
TCW sent the following statement to Diva Dirt about the change:
[notice]On Thursday, February 16, the offices of Traditional Championship Wrestling received a text message from Malia Hosaka stating that she was retiring due to personal reasons and would be unable to attend TCW’s April 7 Ft. City Showdown television taping to be held in Ft. Smith, AR at the Convention Center. Hosaka was slated to compete in a 3-way match against Mickie James and Cheerleader Melissa.
In past dealings with Hosaka, she was a true professional. We are saddened at the loss to not only our event, but to the wrestling business as a whole.
However, the show must go on and now the stage has been set for a ladies’ dream match as Mickie James will now face Cheerleader Melissa in a singles match. This will be the first time ever these two have met in a singles match in the United States.
