My first show ever (vol 41-42) had a guy behind and to my right yelling comments about half the time (with a guy and a girl). He wasn't bad in terms of humor, but my ear was ringing by the end of the night. One earplug for that ear would have been okay. Most of the stuff people complain about appears to originate with the promotion itself. I too laughed at "Hussy! (somebody even yelled "Paul Stanley" but I don't think most heard it, brilliant bringing in the forum stuff last time) but of course that was planted in our heads via Athena's promos and in-ring taunts. The stuff about Portia looking young was fed by both Portia herself and the announce team. Granted, Portia looks to have aged 10 years since the last time I saw her in-ring, but that's that. It's one thing if the promotion makes a clean break from an old gimmick and wants to move on, but they have to sell that to the fans. If the chants stop making sense, then that's how it goes. You hope there's some continuity going between shows, but not every crowd has stuck around for the last several volumes, much less tracked each performer for years and then some beyond the promotion. That's why I'm glad for example, that all the "bad blood" between Saraya and Melissa was put down in video form for Shimmer fans or it might seem like a weaker swerve. The video packages are really necessary there. It's that or long in-ring promos like they do in TNA. So hopefully each show is able to get a newcomer up to speed within itself. PS: Don't think Saraya is actually a grandma yet.

Actually she is going to be one fairly soon - I believe Zak's girlfriend is pregnant. I could have him and Roy mixed up there.

There you go. I may have to join in on those chants myself soon... Really sad I won't be able to attend Volume 53, but cool to hear about a new venue and a cage match (another Shimmer first!). I'll look forward to seeing the DVD version around the time of Volume 54-55 tapings.

Shimmer going the same way as wwe. Having unrealistic champions like wwe having cena as champ when everybody knows he cant wrestle. And shimmer having an older women as champ. We know wrestling its fixed but this kind of thing makes it more obviously fake to even naive fans that think it might be real.

That "older woman" you speak of is Saraya Knight. She's the toughest, meanest, and craziest woman in SHIMMER. Her being champion is a direct result of a champion like Cheerleader Melissa tapping out to her submission. Not to mention that if SHIMMER was going the way of WWE; all the matches would be lingerie pillow-fights, and mud-wrestling matches. There are plenty of places guys can see that kind of stuff, but SHIMMER isn't the place for it.

I thought you were stupid enough already with your bitching about Leva Bates being in the main event of Volume 50 solely because she's "Danger's buddy." But now it's become clear that you're really going out of your way to solidify yourself as the absolute dumbest tool on this board, aren't you?

By the way, as far as the chanting fans go... I was one of those... sorry, first time, didn't know more people didn't like them than did. And I(!!!) won't chant as much next time. The other guys, on the other hand...

LOL and I thought the Melissa = Cena comparison was bad.

I would love to see Saraya's reaction to reading this post.
