So beautiful. I hope she retires as champ.
(I know it won't happen but I can hope.)

Usually these complaints pop up here right away. Waiting three days for the first real complaint, not bad! Now, having sit by him all the time, he's there every time. And yes Paul, I hate you. You always say hi to me, and I'll say hi back, but you tick me off. And yes, I know you post here, and I'm going to discuss you anyway. If this gets deleted, fine. We get it. You love to chant. Some of the chants are good, and add to the show. But here's the thing. A lot of them do take away from the show for a variety of reasons. 1. A lot of the things you chant HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MATCH!!!!!! "Berwyn..... Boo!" nothing to do with the match! "Paul's Cheesecakes!" Nothing to do with wrestling at all! I'm not chanting DDS. Jennifer's not chanting Ring Belles. Steven's not chanting Diva Dirt. When we do, we're trying to add to the match in a positive manner, to support or jeer paticular wrestlers based on their actions. 2. A lot of your chants are not even really be shouted toward the ring. I see this as you just shouting things loudly for the sake of amusing yourself and your friends. Gah. 3. It's not even just chanting, but cheering for nearly all the heels is so irritating. Yes, we all cheer for paticular heels if we're fans of their work, or really dislike their opponent. But the way you do it, to cheer for the heels, with the ONLY reason being because they're heels. You're going out of your way to do the opposite of what the wrestlers want you to do. That's a pretty low thing to do, and is quite disrespectful. I know I shouldn't be negative, but since someone brought it up, I might as well get it out. Thank you for spending $60 toward a company we all love. Hopefully my complaining is overreacting, and you're not preventing other fans from not spending their money. Hey, my name is Paul. But I neither actively start chant nor do I particularly care for cheesecake, so you're probably talking about a different guy.

Yep! Different guy. Anyone who was there know's who it was. Obviously, there's a good chance of there being more than one Paul, so I certinally didn't mean to besmirch you.
But, let's stay positive. I'm glad the decision was made to have tables at ringside (for intermission) for much of the talent. Even with a more realistic roster size, I think that would be a great idea for all future tapings as a way to spread things out. It's just too crowded at that wall.

We will keep doing that. And the target is 30 minutes for intermission length. Again, due to having too large of a roster this time (and thus too many matches to fit into our time window), the first day's intermission was cut to 15 and the second day to 20. A smaller crew next time should allow for a more lengthy intermission.

More wrestlers than before + shorter intermission time than before = I walked out with too much money in my pockets.

Maybe if the doors opened at the time it says on the flyer.... But, here's a suggestion.... while we wait in line, have someone out there selling something. Maybe the SHIMMER DVDs, since it wouldn't be fair if a few wrestlers got a head start over others selling their merch. Plus there's probably too much to worry about inside for each of them.

There are reasons doors open late, and it's not because the talent is unoccupied.

Seeing as the next Femmes Fatales got confirmed for March 10th, guess it would make sense for SHIMMER 45-48 to be on March 17th-18th.

We should have the return dates set in the next couple weeks. As always, it's going to come down to both venue and talent availability, even if a specific weekend sounds like it makes the most sense to run on. The obvious top two candidates are the week after Femmes Fatales and the week before WrestleMania.

From where I was, I occasionally heard something about cheesecake. Not enough for it to fit into context, though it doesn't sound like knowing that context was vital.
I really liked the idea of putting some of the talent around the ring to use that space at intermission. Made for a less dense and more navigable mass of humanity around the merchandise tables in back, which I fully support.

We think we probably made wrestling history. Booked entirely over Twitter Direct Message, with use of Google Translator. 140 characters or less FTW. INNOVATION~!

The wonders of technology!
I'm surprised she didn't RT every message with a smiley like this \(^o^)/ in front of it, haha.

(I know it won't happen but I can hope.) The easiest solution would just be to declare the previous tapings the final ones for the promotion. Then Melissa could be SHIMMER champion until the universe enters the final death throes due to entropy and the embers of the very last stars burn out, and all that will be left is void and nothingness and the memory burnt into the fabric of time and space of Melissa with the SHIMMER title.
