Does anyone have any recommendations for 2004-2010 joshi puroresu?

The reason I'm asking this is because 2004-2010 seems to be kinda like the "dark ages" of joshi puroresu. It's an era nobody really talks about (when it comes to joshi puroresu), as far as I know. ARSION was gone and STARDOM had not started yet. It's also the era where I didn't really pay much attention to current pro wrestling in general (so maybe that's partially the reason why I'm not too familiar with those years).

Any particular workers/matches/shows/promotions that stand out during these years?

Ideally, I'd like to learn more about the best workers, matches, shows and promotions of each year during the 2004-2010 time period.

I could totally imagine Kana, Hiroyo Matsumoto and Meiko Satomura having interesting matches, for example. But, I could be wrong. I hope the experts of (modern) joshi puroresu on this forum can help me out.
