Seen the first 2/3 of this already and really enjoyed every match this far. I even liked Sara Del Ray's one too and never once wanted to slap her. I did want to slap the fans cheering for her however.
Besides the awesome Nicole/Haze match the highlight of the volume thus far is:
"Ninjas kill butterflies!"- Portia Perez
I laughed my ass off at that one.

I didn't envy MsChif and Serena having to follow Wesna vs Melissa. They did well, though I must admit that I never really felt that Serena was going to win - which is funny because before the tapings I would have put money on that she was going to win. Finish seemed a bit out of nowhere again. The post match was very effective though, and I want to see that tag match really badly now!quote] That's how I felt watching it live. I never really thought she was going to win before the match and there was never one single moment in the match that I thought Serena had any chance of taking the belt. I thought it was kinda weird with her recent push that it just seemed so anti-climactic.

Wow Sara's really growing on me. That whole "Sarah's gonna kill you" with sarah attacking her own fan saying "I'm gonna kill YOU if you don't shut your mouth" had me rolling.
Seriously everyone has to see this dvd. It's soo much like 5, 7, and 20 where you easily see half the matches work as a main event. The dvd's that good. Portia on mic on Nicole's match was epic. Just incredible show with great mix of wrestling and some light comedy.
Oh and Rate Tank's soo much <3. The fact that she's just as big of a Hokuto mark as me is even more win. Virtually Indy-Structable for sure. D

I actually felt that MsChif/Serena was better than Wesna/Melissa myself. I never really got into the Mel/Busic match for some reason but really liked the main event even if it seemed about 5 minutes too short. However Matthews/Haze was the best out of all of them. Not a stinker on the card at all, one of the best volumes.

Why not just buy it now then? It's probably one of two reasons (or maybe both). 1. No extra money at the moment. 2. Don't want to pay Shipping & Handling.

Well the money would be going to Shimmer, so any extra charge is going to a good cause.

It finally arrived today, loving Portia on commentary so far.

The pluses:
Madison Eagles v Sara Del Rey - a great match that was technically sound, and will hopefully be a SHIMMER main event in the future, so it can have an extra five minutes.
Nicole Matthews v Daizee Haze - Daizee's muscle definition terrifies me. But as far as the match was concerned, this was Nicole's coming of age, and the shrugging off the request of five more minutes was great.
MsChif v Serena Deeb - Apart from me being utterly perplexed as to how Serena's chesticles stayed in that top, this was a great outing. Lots of working on body parts, the superb drama you always get from Deeb matches and that rollthrough Descecrator which finished the match was the best looking version of that move that I've seen. So much so that MsChif should do that all the time.
Portia Perez on commentary - very nice, supported the heels well, went into overdrive for Nicole and didn't saturate the broadcast by making the error many commentators do by talking too much.
Kellie Skater - She is money. She's like the Aussie version of Jetta or Lacey.
The minuses:
Wesna v Cheerleader Melissa - Now, don't jump down my throat. It was a great match, but considering I've seen 4 out of the now 7 Wesna/Melissa matches in person, this one didn't live up to my expectations. In fact, at the start it felt a bit plodding. I'm glad it went into high gear by the end though.
Amber O'Neal - Don't get me wrong, I'm a mark for her character, but she gave Tenille nothing. Not a thing.
Ashley and Neveah - It's not that I don't like them... in fact, I think they're great. But it saddens me that they're getting negative heat from the fans, which I think is somewhat undeserved, and I feel for them. I really do.
