 MATA NE - HANA KIMURA MEMORIAL MATCH May 23rd 11:00am JST | May 23rd 3:00am BST | May 22nd 10:00pm EST | May 22nd 7:00pm EST Watch LIVE on FITE.tv for $14.99 with English commentary from Ian Riccaboni, Fumi Saito and Cheeseburger Watch LIVE on Tiget for ¥1500 with Japanese commentary from Haruo Murata, Ken Suzuki, Takashi Sasaki and Fuka One year ago, the wrestling world was rocked by the tragic death of Hana Kimura. This weekend on the anniversary of her death, those who were closest to her have come together to organise a tribute show that they have invited all around the world who cared for her to attend, either live in person or via live PPV presented in both English or Japanese. All proceeds from the event will go towards Kyoko Kimura's ongoing legal battles to bring those responsible to justice and to charities to help the victims of cyber abuse. If you are able to, please consider watching the PPV either on FITE or on Tiget. Both platforms will include VOD for those who are not able to watch it live. The card will remain a mystery to the day with participants announced via entrance music and will consist of three matches and a memorial service. The first match will be produced by the Okinawan pro wrestlers that Hana grew up among, the second match will be a timed entry battle royal and the main event will be a multi-person tag match. Among the announced wrestlers are Hana's best friend Asuka (better known as VENY in the west), Kagetsu, her mentor who retired shortly before her death, Mika Iwata, her early rival, and Konami, her faction mate in Tokyo Cyber Squad. For a full list of announced wrestlers, please check the official website.

They were a group that Hana really liked when Fuka had them perform at one of her self-produced shows. FatBagzJones posted:Didn't knew Ian Riccaboni and Cheeseburger doing English commentary. That's really cool, since they have brief history with Hana. Cheeseburger used to get dinner with the Kimuras every time NJPW brought him over so it's really nice he gets to be involved.

Doors don't open until 10:30 am but yeah, it's a pretty early start. Matches don't start until 11:30 which is fairly normal.

I almost made it through the show without breaking down but the ring announcer cracking when trying to announce her death date got me.

I loved when Asuka asked for the main event and the referee suggested a three minute time limit and she was like gently caress that, no time limit
