After seeing a few matches of hers, I wouldn't mind seeing Viper in Shimmer, she's got a really cool and different look, a good moveset (although I'd personally drop the electric chair drop as a finisher and give her a Jack-knife powerbomb or maybe a Vader Bomb instead) and since she's only around 22 she's only going to get better as she gets more experienced.
Plus Nikki Storm can have a fellow countrywoman as some backup if on the off-chance she needs it when the Berwyn Eagles Club just explodes from her awesomeness.

Alpha Female is going to be working the US this year. I would very much like to see her in SHIMMER.

Look no further than my signature. I believe Hudson Envy would be a great fit anywhere on the shimmer card. In any match you need her in. from watching her i believe shes more than ready.she knows how to work a crowd and is very professional id love to see her break out.

I see on Facebook that MMA fighters/wrestling fans Shayna Baszler & Jessamyn Duke are starting to informally petition WWE for a match against WWE divas. It could be very cool to see them tune up in the indies.

I wonder if Blue Nikita has ever expressed interest in SHIMMER. I think it would be interesting to see how she would compete against the best the US has to offer.

Legit, only 3 of those 21 names you listed have ever even contacted us. Only 1 of those 3 actually followed through with sending a demo video after the initial contact. Just to paint a picture of the lack of initiative most independent wrestlers display in terms of getting work in new places.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Since we have our own list of approximately 45 wrestlers who we'd like to include on a given weekend of tapings, which we then need to cut down to between 30 and 35 to keep things reasonable... it's a very rare occurrence that any of those 35 will be someone who doesn't even show us that they are interested in working here.
Over the years, what is it that wrestlers such as the Canadian Ninjas, Madison Eagles, Kellie Skater, Mia Yim, Leva Bates, Jessie McKay, Athena, Courtney Rush, Shazza McKenzie, Davina Rose, Evie, etc. have that sets them apart from your typical independent wrestler? They showed initiative. They worked hard. They sent demos. They pursued bookings. They earned spots, and kept them.

Viper does the Michinoku Driver, but yeah I agree. Her and Kay Lee Ray would be great additions but I guess we can't have too many Scottish wrestlers around, as the American crowd would never understand what anyone was saying...

I still can't understand why Kevin Harvey can't say "Glasgow" correct.

We had a discussion a while ago about former-Chikara talent Saturyne and whether or not she retired. I just learned tonight that she didn't retire, but changed gimmicks and has been performing sans mask as Hania the Huntress - recently did her second weekend of shows for WSU, and has worked for other promotions as well. Has anybody seen her work lately?

Paige Turner, a wrestling librarian who sells books instead of merch. Seconding this. Paige worked with Melissa in a 3 way earlier in the month and far as I can tell has wrestled Athena at least 3 times last year. Definitely worth looking into.
