Best Match Ever: Hana Kimura May 22, 2021

Show notes

RIP Hana Kimura 1997-2020

Braden Herrington and Davie Portman are joined by WH Park to celebrate the life of Hana Kimura as they look back at her pro wrestling career.

The BDE & WH hand pick a selection of favourite Hana matches that they rewatch, review, rate, and discuss.

From her time in STARDOM, Wrestle-1, Sendai, Joshi, Terrace House, and beyond. The lads chat about her great, yet short lived wrestling career, where it could have taken her, and discuss the very unfortunate story of her passing at the young age of 22.

We recommend checking out STARDOM's YouTube page, as they have uploaded a lot of Hana's work, and be sure to check out Hana Kimura's PWT store that is run by her mother.
