Am I alone in taking a keen interest in what the incredible ladies of Shimmer wear to the ring? Not in a 'wow, that's revealing' way, but in a 'those are cool boots' or 'those colors totally rock together'?

The great thing about wrestlers in SHIMMER (an in fact, most female wrestlers) is that they invest in some unique gear. It makes for a great first impression.

Yeah, it's nice that there's more of a variety of looks in women's wrestling. I'm particularly fond of MsChif's gear, esecially the Cthulhu one, as well as Kalamity's gear.

I always thought Daizee had the best gear. MsChif is always great too.

I like Sarah Stock's ring gear. Because of the many different outfits she has.

I thought Lacey and Stock's gear was awesome for their match. Both of the girls are lady studs, and it was my favorite incorporation of "sexy" and "bad ass wrestler" - some may prefer whatever you call Kana's collar or her cone thing - and it's all a matter of taste, and maybe even sometimes culture, and when it comes to matters of taste you have to go back to the old adage that opinions are like donut holes. But, I thought it gave Lacey/Stock a similar vibe to MsChif/Dangerous Angels, in that there seemed to be something in the air that there hasn't been before or after in SHIMMER.
I like Portia's black gear. I vote for that. I like a lot of SDR's newer gear, too.

I'm pretty fond of Del Rey's Kings of Wrestling style gear, yes.

I like Del Rey's KOW attire as well. I'm also a fan of Mercedes' ring gear, always thought of it as simple yet stylish.

I love how much effort the women put into their gear to match their personalities. Kalamity's fits her character to a T and when I first saw her I didn't think it'd be easy to wrestle in it. Boy was I wrong, hah. Hailey Hatred's is cute and might lull you into a false sense of security (like Ohata's) but it fits.
LuFisto always puts a lot of effort and thought into hers and I love the fact that her, and now Leva and Danger, do a lot of cosplay. It's fun and makes them stand out.
Plus MsChif has great gear now. Not just the green and black with the spikes and chains (that's always been cool) but I think it's been in the past year or two that she's had the Madusa head on her top. I marked out COMPLETELY when she came out as Freddy Kruger! That's my all time favourite movie series and I love the fact she went out and got a real claw glove to go with the hat and shirt.
Plus Veda Scott's houndstooth is uber cute. I think the more effort and thought you put into your gear and overall look, the better impression it makes. There's not really been anyone in Shimmer recently that I thought had a bad look/gear.

I always hated Eden Black's but I did appreciate her wrestling.
Never did like those Bucks unis.

I've long thought the appearance of kickpads in pro wrestling was due to MMA. Would that be a fair assumption on my part? For a while, when I was getting back into watching wrestling, I thought they were actually poofy boots until I got a close up look and saw the straps going under the shoe. As for my picks, I dig Jessie McKay's ensemble. The way she has her boots and knee pads arranged kind of reminds me of Chris Candido; very pro-looking, in other words. Speaking of boots, I *love* the boots Courtney Rush and AJ Lee wear. Boots with straps always get bonus points in my eyes.  |

I never got into MMA so I don't actually know. I would suspect their inclusion in pro wrestling pre dates the rise of American MMA. They make a nice noise.

MM has gotten better with her ring gear, she had that Vinyl-ish pants and top first, then the belly-out top with pants and the belt, now she has the Black w/Gold, Silver or Metallic Baby Blue. |
