Women of Honor is a term used by Ring of Honor (ROH) to refer to its female talent. The term is applied universally to wrestlers, backstage interviewers, and managers/valets.[1][2][3][4]
Promotion and History of Women in ROH
Early years and partnership with Shimmer Women Athletes (2002–2011)
ROH had its first women's match on June 22, 2002, at its Road to the Title show. It saw Sumie Sakai defeat Simply Luscious.[5] Women's wrestling in ROH had been sporadic since then. ROH featured female stars like Sara Del Rey, Daizee Haze, Serena Deeb,[6][7] Mercedes Martinez, Allison Danger and others on shows, even releasing a DVD featuring Del Rey, Haze, Amazing Kong, Mickie James, MsChif, Lacey, and others.[8] Some of these matches were featured on ROH's television program on HDNet and, later, on its syndicated show, but ROH did not consistently brand women's matches as Women of Honor until 2015.
ROH also had partnership with Shimmer Women Athletes, as the Shimmer Championship has been defended on several shows, being the first women's title to be featured on ROH.[9] On April 2, 2011, at the second night of Honor Takes Center Stage, the Shimmer Tag Team Championship were defended on ROH for the first time, when the then-champions Daizee Haze and Tomoka Nakagawa successfully defended the title against Ayumi Kurihara and Hiroyo Matsumoto.[10]
ROH Women of Honor (2011–2015)
Throughout the years 2011 to 2015 the Women of Ring of Honor mostly consisted of female valets, interviewers, and female wrestlers by the names of Sara Del Ray, Allysin Kay, Leah Von Dutch, Jenny Rose, Athena Reese, Maria Kanellis, Scarlett Bordeaux, Mandy Leon, Mia Yim, Cherry Bomb, MsChif, Barbi Hayden, Taeler Hendrix, Seleziya Sparx,[11] and Veda Scott, and special female feud appearances by women such as Tara[12][13] and ODB.[14][15][16] Women of this era of Ring of Honor were simply known as the female hustle for example other than the Shimmer Championship belt that was rarely used in ROH these girls made things work without an officially owned by ROH women's championship title available that is permanently owned by the company while on the ROH roster. Working as valets, managers, interviewers, ring announcers, side ring bell ringers, and rarely working in Women of Honor matches especially on TV but whenever got a chance valeted when it came to non-female talent every now and then to express their hard work, contributions, and dedications to the division and to help rebuild, grow, and further create the Women of Honor Division.
On February 23, 2011 at a ROH Pay-per-view by the name of ROH 9th Anniversary Show Sara Del Ray with Shane Hagadorn in her corner wrestled against and defeated other ROH female talent by the name of MsChif.[17] Cherry Bomb also faced MsChif during a Ring of Honor taping at the Ted Reeve arena in Toronto, ON.
During those years Maria Kanellis went on to manage (valet) her husband Mike Bennett and his tag team partner Matt Taven as The Kingdom the stable went on to feud with and against great talent such as Jay Lethal and other great male talent of the ROH roster during that time.[18][19][20][21] Somewhere after that Maria Kanelis was attacked by Tara[13] while valeting a year prior to that she also had a one-on-one match against Tara at a Indy event which was for the FWE Women's title and was victorious at winning.[22]
Maria Kanellis also was attacked by Sara Del Ray while valeting in Ring of Honor which led up to a Mix Tag Team match where it was Sara Del Ray and Eddie Edwards vs. Maria and her husband Mike Bennett at ROH pay-per-view by the name of ROH Boiling Point of year 2012 which Maria and her husband were not successful at winning.[23][24] She also had a one-on-one match against ODB at a ROH pay-per-view by the name of ROH 13th Anniversary but was not successful.[14][15] She, Mike Bennett, and Matt Taven as The Kingdom also had a Six Mix Tag Person against ODB and The Briscoe Brothers and we're successful in that match via Maria pinning ODB.[16]
Also during that time other ROH Girls such as Sara Del Ray, Allysin Kay, Jenny Rose, Athena Reese, Scarlett Bordeaux, Mandy Leon, Mia Yim, Cherry Bomb, MsChif, Barbi Hayden, Taeler Hendrix, Seleziya, and Veda Scott spent there time wrestling in rare once in a life time rarely seen especially on Television ROH Women of Honor matches and in mix tag team matches against each other, interviewing talent, interviewing backstage talent, ring announcing, side ring bell ringing and Managing and Valeting male talent of the company.[25][26][27][28][29]
For example on August 15, 2014 at ROH Field of Honor of 2014 Jay Lethal defeated Matt Taven for the ROH World Television Championship with Seleziya aka Seleziya Sparxs and Truth Martini in Jay Lethals conor.[11] Seleziya was Jay Lethals female valet alongside his then male valet Truth Martini. During sometime Taeler Hendrix was also Jay Lethals female valet but the two ladies never at the same time valeted Jay Lethal.
Another factual example during year 2011 Mia Yim was introduced to Ring of Honor Wrestling by Prince Nana as Princess Mia Yim after that from that point on she went on to valet his male stable alliance alongside him at Ring of Honor.[31] She also had a match against Sara Del Ray in Ring of Honor Wrestling but was not successful.[32]
Also during around that time ROH girls such as Scarlett Bordeaux and Cherry Bomb where famously known for promoting the sell of ROH merchandise such as female versions of Ring of Honor clothings such as female T-shirts and probably other versions of ROH female clothing wear and ROH female merchandise when they were available during that time period.[33]
Rebuilding the women's division (2015–2016)
The popularity of women in Ring of Honor has resulted in Ring of Honor taping a pilot for a standalone Women of Honor program.[34] Ring of Honor has also made numerous Women of Honor branded merchandise available for purchase.[35] The pilot aired as a Women of Honor-branded television special the weekend of June 25, 2016 and its success led to a Women of Honor taping that is available on DVD.[36]
Women of Honor division (2016–present)
At its founding, ROH had a partnership with the female exclusive promotion Shimmer Women Athletes (Shimmer), with their top championship - the Shimmer Championship - being defended at ROH events, essentially serving as ROH's de facto women's title in the promotion's early years.
Currently, Ring of Honor regularly airs and promotes their Women Division Wednesday matches formerly known as Women of Honor Wednesday matches on their YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter platforms. As of June 2018, the only two videos to receive 3 million or more views on Ring of Honor's YouTube page are Women of Honor matches, both featuring former Women of Honor World Champion, "The Gatekeeper" Kelly Klein.[37]
Matches are called and presented by Ian Riccaboni. He has been joined by Taeler Hendrix,[38] Mandy Leon,[39] Veda Scott,[40] Matt Taven and B. J. Whitmer[41] for YouTube exclusives and Nigel McGuinness for the two Women of Honor television specials.[42] Along with Sakai, there has been four champions shared between Angelina Love,[43] Mayu Iwatani[44] and Klein, who held the title in a record setting three-time.[45][46][47]
In February 2017, ROH partnered with Japanese promotion World Wonder Ring Stardom for a Women of Honor tryout camp.[48] On December 5, at Final Battle, Riccaboni introduced the new Women of Honor Championship, which would later be named the Women of Honor World Championship, as a tournament for the championship was set to start on January 20, 2018.[49] On April 7, at Supercard of Honor XII, Sumie Sakai defeated Kelly Klein in the tournament final to become the inaugural champion.[50][51] Along with Sakai, there have been four champions overall, shared between Angelina Love,[52] Mayu Iwatani[53] and Klein, who held the title in a record setting three-time.[54][55][56]
On January 1, 2020, ROH deactivated the Women of Honor World Champion, held at the time by Kelly Klein, due to the former champion deciding not to renew her contract with the promotion amidst disagreements between the two parties, leading into Klein filling a lawsuit against the company over a year later in early 2021. As such, a new championship was to be created for the division, the ROH Women's World Championship. The winner was originally planned to be crowned in a 16-woman Tournament at Quest For Gold, but that tournament, as well as the Women of Honor division as a whole, was put on hold due to the event being cancelled amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the ROH 19th Anniversary Show on March 26, 2021, Maria Kanellis made her on-screen return to the promotion and announced a new tournament to crown a new ROH Women's World Champion, the first since the retirement of the Women of Honor World Championship at the beginning of 2020. The tournament will take place in summer 2021, with a number of the matches to be showcased on ROH TV. The division also seemingly dropped using the 'Women of Honor' name as a month later, 'Women's Division Wednesdays' returned on ROH's official YouTube channel starting on April 28, 2021.
On December 15, 2017, ROH announced the creation of its own women's title - the ROH Women of Honor World Championship, with Sumie Sakai becoming the first title holder at Supercard of Honor XII on April 7, 2018, defeating Kelly Klein in the finals of the tournament to crown the inaugural champion.[57]
As of January 1, 2020, ROH deactivated the ROH Women of Honor World Championship (due to contractual issues with reigning champion Kelly Klein), and announced the creation of a brand new championship for the division, the ROH Women's World Championship. The winner was originally planned to be crowned in a 16-woman Tournament at Quest For Gold, but had been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After ROH resumed operations following a five-month pandemic related hiatus, a new 15-woman tournament (with one participant - Angelina Love - getting a first round bye due to Vita VonStarr being removed from the tournament via other personal issues with Maria Kanellis) was announced at Best in the World that took place beginning on July 31, 2021, and tournament final which Rok-C won to become the inaugural ROH Women's World Champion on September 12, 2021 at Death Before Dishonor XVIII.[58]
