My pics:
1. Wesna - strength, character, technically sound 2. Danyah - great physique, technically sound, loved her match against Kong. 3. Cat Power - great presence, very technical, a taller/bigger girl who moves well.

Cat Power, Portia Perez & Nicole Matthews.
I don't "get" Jennifer Blake, much the same way that I don't "get" Ashley Lane or Danyah, mind you I've never been drawn to the smiley babyface types so....

How Melissa still hasn't won the title is beyond me. I Still say SHIMMER wouldn't be at the level it is without Melissa.

I know I'd have never gotten into SHIMMER had it not been for her hard hitting style. And I know a lot of other people said they started following the company due to that. As she was the closest thing to Joshi they had at the time and her matches were getting people talking.

I wonder how much of SHIMMER's initial word-of-mouth came from people seeing Melissa vs. Chif and telling their friends "You just HAVE to see this match"? Quite a lot I would imagine.

That's what got me into SHIMMER. After seeing some of the video packages on youtube that people made of it.

If I remember correctly, most of the talk around the time SHIMMER started was about Sara Del Rey and Mercedes Martinez. Then when people actually saw the shows they were like, "Hey, those MsChif and Melissa girls are pretty awesome too!"

I never saw any of the stuff from Del Rey and Martinez like I did MellisChif. That stuff was all over youtube.

Then when people actually saw the shows they were like, "Hey, those MsChif and Melissa girls are pretty awesome too!" I bought my first SHIMMER DVD (volume 4) on the strength of seeing Melissa v MsChif at ChickFight VII. Therefore I can say that I got into SHIMMER because of the prospect of watching Melissa v MsChif in a falls-count-anywhere match. If I remember right, Sara had a pretty bland match with Rain on volume 4. It wasn't until I got volume 1 that I saw what all the original buzz would have been about.

Strange, I thought Rain's match with Death Rey on volume 4 was one of Rain's best matches, missed dropkick cleverly disguised as a hit by camera angles notwithstanding. It was the very least an indicator, imo, that Rain was not just Lacey's sidekick, but very capable of having a decent match with the upper card girls.

Well according to Diva Dirt, Serena has already been turned into a heel at FCW.
