I already bought it, but I'm still working through Volume 1 now. Almost finished and I await the Lacey/Daizee Haze match-up.

Got mine over here in the UK, 5 days after ordering it. While I liked the first volume the second is even better, not a bad match on there. Obviously there's a lot that will be improved on(storylines and promos - which will come with experience) but that's some of the best wrestling I've seen this year, so much for the 2 major men's companies.
So far I'd have to say Martinez, Del Rey, Lacey, Cheerleader and Cindy are the best female wrestlers I've seen since GAEA went off the air(Wrestling Channel and obviously closed in Japan.) I was fearing this company would be another WEW. Also the depth on the roster is great already. Add a few japanese wrestlers(maybe as a stable) and a few more big western names and the roster would be perfect for their current size.

I heard about SHIMMER in October, and was curious as to how good the wrestlers would be as I'm mainly familiar with WWE, TNA, and ROH (my husband has a few ROH DVDs), and I am very disillusioned with how women wrestling is treated. Last month, I found a WEW DVD at Best Buy for $7 and hated most of it. I knew the Vol 1 & 2 of SHIMMER was available for purchase, but I've been leery of buying it not knowing how well the matches were. My husband decided to buy it as a wedding anniversary present-sounds unromantic, but I have told him I've been curious-watched all of Vol 1 and most of Vol 2 last weekend. I now can say that I LOVE SHIMMER WRESTLING! Watching those women perform was amazing! I think every female fan of wrestling who does or used to care about women's wrestling should watch these DVDs! Now I really wish I could come to Illinois on 5/21 to watch the matches and see Nora Greenwald-Molly Holly was my fave until she left WWE. But I live in Virginia, and there is no way my husband & I can come up here to watch the shows. Anyway, I really like the DVDs, and I can't wait until Vol 3 & 4 are out. That's probably the only annoying aspect of SHIMMER is that it feels like it takes forever for the DVDs to come out. When I can't watch it in person or on TV, I guess I get stir crazy for catching up on what's happening.

Last month, I found a WEW DVD at Best Buy for $7 and hated most of it. . UGGHHHH!!! I feel your pain. I bought a WEW, Women's Extreme Wrestling, which is now Women's Erotic Wrestling I think, cuz I thought it would be better than the trash in WWE. BOY...WAS I WRONG!!! It's like the worst women's "wrestling" I've ever seen. It makes the old G.L.O.W. stuff look like ROH. It was just a bunch of half-naked women, with a few names like Alexis Laree before WWE, attempting to wrestle. I don't have anything against hot half-naked women, I just prefer to keep my wrestling and porn seperate. Shimmer is awesome and everyone involved needs to be thanked for busting their asses to bring us quality women's wrestling.

Seeing posts like this make me even more proud of what all of the SHIMMER women have been able to accomplish with their efforts thus far. Good to have you on board! Look for Volume 3 to be released next week.
