Maria did an interview with PWMania.com and had the following to say when asked about Ring of Honor and women on the independent scene that stood out.
“ROH also gave me the opportunity to work with the Women of Honor. We shot 2 episodes of a series we’re putting together showcasing women’s wrestling in ROH. It’s basically the search for the new Women of Honor since we’ve lost a lot of our originals like Daizee Haze and Sara del Rey.
There’s so much talent on the independent circuit now and it makes my job easy. But at the same time, I need find talent who will be dedicated to the Ring of Honor way.”
Are there any independent female talents who stand out to you?
One that I definitely like is Jessica Havoc. Madison Eagles is great. Kasey Ray is a tiny little thing, but she is a beast. She can do every type of flip possible and she’s also going to be at my bridal party. She stands out to me the most because she’s beautiful and talented. She’s new, but she has fire.
It will be interesting to see if they are putting this type of show together because of the “success” of Total Divas. Her mentioning Jessicka Havok, Madison Eagles, and Kasey Ray hopefully means she’s really looking to bolster the talent of women wrestlers in ROH as in recent years they’ve been almost non-existent.
