1) Name: Adam
2)Gender: Male
3)Age: 44
**I own no Shimmer DVDs at the moment but definately plan to.
9) My top 5 favorite Shimmer wrestlers Sara Del Rey Melanie Cruise Madison Eagles MsChif Sassy Steph
10) Best heel in Shimmer: Sara Del Rey
11) Best Babyface: Courtney Rush
12) Top 3 Favorite Shimmer matches Sara Del Rey vs. Courtney Rush 10/2/11 Madison Eagles vs. Cheerleader Melissa 10/2/11
14) 10/2/11 was my first Shimmer taping..and I loved it!
15)My favorite wrestling promotion other than Shimmer: POWW
16) I first learned of Shimmer because I became a huge fan of Melanie Cruise from going to POWW shows. I did some research on her and found out she was also a wrestler in Shimmer. I also was a fan of Beth Phoenix, Natalia Neidhart and Victoria in WWE and Traci Brooks and ODB in TNA. They also lead me to do some more research on Shimmer and the rest is history. I'm also a fan of December, who I found out about in PCW.
17)If I could change one thing about Shimmer what would it be? I can't imagine ANYTHING being better than Shimmer already is. The women work their arses off for the fans, they are amazing at being both heels and faces. My first show was Sunday 10/2/11 and I was totally blown away by how much passion these women have for what they do. I have a SUGGESTION though! Is there any chance at the next Shimmer show we could see Melanie Cruise and Sara Del Rey team up as a monster heel team and take on Daizee Haze and Tomoka Nakagawa? Daizee and Tomoka are out of this world amazing. This would be an epic match for the ages.
18) What other message boards do I visit? POWW enetertainment. I LOVE this promotion and I usually like to critique my favorite matches from the shows.

1. Name: Elijah Whitehouse 2. Gender: Male 3. Age: 244. Location: Tampa, Florida 5. How did you first learn about SHIMMER? Followed RoH and other independents in high school (10 years ago now) and through that discovered SHIMMER and have been keeping an eye on the company since its inception.6. What was the first SHIMMER DVD you purchased, and when did you buy it? Volume 1 back when it was released for retail. Suffice to say, the retail releases didn't last very long. Was pretty cool though.7. Which Volumes of the SHIMMER DVD series do you currently own? None unfortunately 8. Which are your Top 3 favorite Volumes in the series? Volume 1 since it was the beginning, The Tag Team Title tournament Volume (I forgot off the top of my head) and The Volume in which Madison Eagles and Jessie McKay debuted. 9. Who are your Top 5 favorite SHIMMER wrestlers? My favorites are (in no particular order) Alexa Thatcher, Jessie McKay, Portia Perez, Tiana Ringer, and Madison Eagles10. Who do you think is the best heel in SHIMMER? Portia Perez without a doubt. She's grown so much as a performer ever since her 'dark' match against Daizee Haze nearly or over 5 years ago now. 11. Who do you think is the best babyface in SHIMMER? For me it'll have to have to been Alexa Thatcher before her unceremonious departure from pro wrestling. She had the fans getting behind her, putting out great performances and was really improving in the ring. Had big things lined up for her in SHIMMER, in my humble opinion, had she kept with it.12. What are your Top 3 favorite SHIMMER matches? (1)Shantelle Taylor vs Tiana Ringer, Vol.1. These two had the heavy task of performing in the very first SHIMMER match ever and no doubt there was a lot of pressure on the two. Despite a hiccup in Tiana trying to put Shantelle on the top rope, the match came off well enough. (2)Alexa Thatcher vs Ashley Lane. Again from the early goings of SHIMMER and to me showed what SHIMMER had to offer in terms of talent and roster depth as I was and still am a pretty big Alexa Thatcher fan. (3) Daizee Haze vs Lacey, Vol1. The very first main event a pretty great one, too. Obviously I haven't been able to keep up as much as I wanted to and thus all my answers are pretty vanilla.13. Who do you think has the most promise out of the wrestlers who debuted in SHIMMER during the past year? I would have to say Davina Rose, but that's me being pretty partial on her part. I've seen a great deal of her work, especially against Buggy, and I feel if given the opportunity she (and Buggy for that matter) can do great things for SHIMMER in the future.14. Have you been to any of the SHIMMER tapings live? If so, which ones? N/A15. What is your favorite wrestling promotion (other than SHIMMER)? Tough one, really. I like the typical WWE stuff, RoH is pretty nice. WSU and APW are pretty good. I just like wrestling in general, be it men's or women's wrestling. As long as the performance and booking is decent and logical, then all promotions are my favorite 16. Did you follow American women's wrestling prior to becoming a fan of SHIMMER? If so, how long have you been a fan of American women's wrestling, and which companies did you watch? Ha. I was introduced to the world of women's wrestling from the infamous W.O.W promotion that aired late at night on weekends. The execution was poor but the effort was certainly there even if it was a bit ridiculous. I did really enjoy Terri Gold and Jungle Grrrl (Erica Porter) though.17. Do you follow foreign women's wrestling? If so, what companies do you watch? I've started to. Currently there's a New Zealand company called IPW that feature the tag team of Megan-Kate and Evie, the BFFs. They've been wrestling for a few years now and have really improved and are pretty slick in the ring. Also I scope out the British scene for some wrestling and occasionally SMASH or Ice Ribbon.18. Do you closely follow any other American women's wrestling promotion(s)? If so, which one(s)? I keep up with, on occasion, WSU and Indy Gurlz/World Womens Wrestling in New England. That's where I stumbled upon Alexa Thatcher, Kayla Sparks, Melissa Stripes, Cha-Cha, Nikki Roxx, Sammi Lane, etc, etc19. What wrestlers would you like to see in SHIMMER who have yet to appear on our DVD series? I'd like to see Taeler Hendrix get a shot or even Amanda Fox from Booker T's PWA/ACW company. She's a young talent but is tech savvy in the ring, especially at such a young age of 19, I think she is now. Also, KC Cassidy. Another Australian talent that works a lot with Madison Eagles and Jessie McKay.20. Other than DVDs, what other types of merchandise would you like to see offered by SHIMMER? N/A. Pretty broke 21. If you could change one thing about SHIMMER, what would it be? I definitely would have brought in Kayla Sparks back when she was still around along with Miss DeVille as a tag team in the Diva Killaz. They had a nice gimmick, Kayla was getting a more professional look and was really improving leaps and bounds before she decided to retire due to a heap of things. By the time SHIMMER had started up, she already had 5 years in the business by age 18! I honestly felt she would have delivered something fantastic in terms of being an undercard babyface putting on strong, technical or high flying performances in openers or tag team matches. Also, I would like to see Alexa brought back in but only if it's tangible for both parties involved. She was a great talent and hopefully she'll be able to make her mark on the pro wrestling scene again22. What other pro wrestling message boards/forums do you regularly visit besides ours? Offtheteam.com is the only other one. We discuss RAW, Smackdown, TNA, Indy stuff. It's a great place to go plus there's other discussion threads past the pro wrestling one. All around a great forum.

Other than DVDs, what other types of merchandise would you like to see offered by SHIMMER?/ More T-shirts possibly or maybe even action figures although I doubt there would be much demand for that vs how expensive they probably are to make. 21. If you could change one thing about SHIMMER, what would it be?/ Maybe introduce a new belt for the lower card women to fight over. Kind of like a belt for the women whio are more rookies than the bigger stars. It could add a bit more meaning to the undercard. 22. What other pro wrestling message boards/forums do you regularly visit besides ours?/ ProWrestling.com, DivasHeaven, Rajah and Wrestling Edge.

It's about time I did this ;D 1. Name: Eli 2. Gender: Male 3. Age: 28 4. Location: Holland (the one in Europe) 5. How did you first learn about SHIMMER? Wrestling sites. I was looking for anything that featured womens wrestling, because I was (and still am) disgusted with the way WWE treats women and womens wrestling. 6. What was the first SHIMMER DVD you purchased, and when did you buy it? 24, about a month after it came out I think. 7. Which Volumes of the SHIMMER DVD series do you currently own? We buy DVDs with a small group of people, we're all students so this is the only way we can afford it. We own every dvd from 24 onward. 8. Which are your Top 3 favorite Volumes in the series? Can't really name a favorite 3. I love them all equally 9. Who are your Top 5 favorite SHIMMER wrestlers? Based on in-ring skill: Misschif, Melissa, Hamada, Nicole Matthews and Tokagawa. Based on (wrestling) personality/chariisma: Portia Perez, Leva Bates, Britanni Knight, Hamada and 3S tag team. 10. Who do you think is the best heel in SHIMMER? Only one possibility: Portia Perez. I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I cannot imagine how anyone could not see her as the only viable candidate. If WWE actually took their womens division seriously, she'd be their main heel superstar. That's how awesome she is at being heel. 11. Who do you think is the best babyface in SHIMMER? Either Hamada or Jessie Mckay. Both are extremely over with the audience, but if I had to choose it'd be Hamada. 12. What are your Top 3 favorite SHIMMER matches? Every match from the Portia Perez - Allison Danger feud, because it was probably the most intense and dark Shimmer has ever gotten. Also absolutely love watching Re-generation X matches because they are hilarious. 13. Who do you think has the most promise out of the wrestlers who debuted in SHIMMER during the past year? Britani Knight hands down. I'd say Leva Bates as well, but I think she's been there for a bit longer than a year, so she doesn't qualify. 14. Have you been to any of the SHIMMER tapings live? I wish. I pray someday I'll be able to, but given my location its unlikely. 15. What is your favorite wrestling promotion (other than SHIMMER)? I only watch WWE besides Shimmer. I sort of like it, but I tend to fastforward through most of the show. Usually watch a 90 minute show in 25 minutes. Something I'd never do with Shimmer. 16. Did you follow American women's wrestling prior to becoming a fan of SHIMMER? If so, how long have you been a fan of American women's wrestling, and which companies did you watch? Outside WWE, I watched TNA before the Hogan/Bisschoff invasion thing happened, when TNA was actually somewhat interesting and actually had a halfway decent womens division. 17. Do you follow foreign women's wrestling? If so, what companies do you watch? Nope. 18. Do you closely follow any other American women's wrestling promotion(s)? If so, which one(s)? WWE doesn't really count as women's wrestling, so no. 19. What wrestlers would you like to see in SHIMMER who have yet to appear on our DVD series? My knowledge of female wrestlers outside Shimmer is somewhat limited, but I'd love to see AJ Lee wrestle a real match someday, just to see what she actually can do. So if you guys can make it possible somehow would be awesome. 20. Other than DVDs, what other types of merchandise would you like to see offered by SHIMMER? Nothing really comes to mind. 21. If you could change one thing about SHIMMER, what would it be? You mean besides more shimmer? Seriously though, it's mostly small things. - I would like to see a little more variety in the matches, this has already improved a lot the last 2 years, but could still be a bit more. One thing I'd find interesting is a proper mixed tag team match, like getting a few "boyfriends" involved for a storyline. - There could be a little more fluff for a show. The one aspect of the show that kind of sucks are the promo shoots and backstage segments. We need some more of this and they need to be done a bit better, preferably with a different interviewer. - Lastly, and this is getting really nitpicky, the pacing and crowd psychology of the endphase of most matches could be a bit better. Stuff like finishing moves should stand out a bit more, now it often feels a bit rushed. I know this is sort of part of the "style" of independent wrestling promotions, but I feel this is one small area where the big promotions understand things better. 22. What other pro wrestling message boards/forums do you regularly visit besides ours? Only the totally awesome weekly wrestling Wrap-Up (recap) on IGN by Matt Fowler. I seriously advise everyone to check it out.

SHIMMER needs to stay all women. And Amber Gertner is a fabulous interviewer! Accept no substitutes.
