No form of sport or entertainment is worth dying for; it's only wrestling... Well, actual physical death might be a stretch. I'd willingly receive a nasty indian burn and atomic wedgie though! I would take an Atomic Drop for SHIMMER. I would also consider leading that into a Superkick if they pay my trans.

I hate flying so much.

But it was real back then dat gum it! But seriously in regards to garbage wrestling not just the actual carnage brought forth but the Philly fans were a black mark on the sport as well. Yelling out wrestlers real names and "You Effed Up" and "She's a crack whore"....really? the sport needs that? Heel or not there's a level to be crossed between heel heat and flatout being a jackass. Plus I'm just bitter. Real real bitter. Darn sports entertainment! I wouldn't say bitter, just extremely, extremely old school; I'm pretty much the opposite, I'm the kinda wrestling fan who loves a bit of everything but I've never understood the whole old-school obsession with respect, while we're on the subject, why should wrestlers give a **** if they get respected or not, it isn't currency and it doesn't pay the bills. I guess you could say I'm a bit of a Millennial and I don't see why that is such a negative thing. I guess I'm not totally like a 1953 throwback if that's what you mean. Probably close to it though but I DO like some flipping and some weapons and blood and crap like that. All I ask is that the context that it's used in MAKE SENSE. I don't really think that's asking too much. If Melissa works on Heidi's leg for the whole match then when Heidi makes her comeback she doesn't even slightly limp? Then what the hell was the point of the match up to that point? If Mercedes hits Athena with 14 fisherman busters and she kicks out at 1, again, why? Now you've not shown that Athena is superhuman but that Mercedes is weak. Dumb stuff is what pisses me off. Like when heels or faces for that matter do illegal stuff right in front of the ref and he just stands there. Now instead of the fan yelling "bad guy wrestler is cheating" its "dumbass ref is blind" and the heat goes the wrong way. Is Shimmer better than most? Absolutely but there's still moments when you scratch your head and wonder if someone is stuck on stupid. The Daizee vs. Kurihara match comes to mind. Every other match when a wrestler is on the floor if the one in the ring even leaves a neutral corner the ref stops the count to push them back. This match? Daizee not only breaks the plain of the ropes, itself warrant enough to stop counting, but BEATS UP KURIHARA AS SHE ENTERS THE RING and the ref keeps counting? No amount of "millennial" or "modern" sports entertainment thinking can explain the complete lack of logic involved.

For the record, Nicole has a couple of clean wins in her run - I recall her wins over Evie and Kay Lee Ray being clean. You could even make an argument that Eagles on Volume 74 was clean, yes Nicole had her foot on the rope to prevent Eagles winning the title, but I seem to recall Matthews just needing a Vancouver Manoeuvre after that to put Madison away. Another irksome moment for me. So the ref's see the face winning, thru no fault of her own and deems it invslid cuz of Nicole's feet yet no ref ever sees Nicole and Portia cheat to win and comes out to restart that?

Even if I didn't have the fear of flying I'm not exactly well-funded at the moment and I'm trying to find a job after leaving college; as much as I love Shimmer and professional wrestling in general I have to prioritise.
