To those of you who have expressed concern with the SHIMMER - WOMEN ATHLETES DVD release schedule, I'd like to clear a few things up concerning what our goals are with this project.
The first two DVD releases were filmed on 11/06/05. Volumes 3 & 4 were filmed on 2/12/06. The target to tape Volumes 5 & 6 is in May or June sometime.
So basically, the plan is to shoot new DVDs roughly every three months. Volume 1 arrived in the first week of February. It's been out a little over four weeks now. Volume 2 will be out later this month. The decision we made as a company is to release a new DVD every six weeks or so, so we can continue to release a new DVD product to the fans during the span of time between each taping.
I realize that some of you are very eager to see all of the footage that has been filmed so far, immediately. I've seen some fans express that the DVDs are not being released fast enough. Well, you just need to understand that we are a new company trying to slowly build on the foundation we have thus far, and we are only holding tapings every three months. We'd rather release a new DVD every six weeks than release two right away, and have a three month span of time where nothing new is left to be released.
I hope that those of you who are supportive of the SHIMMER project can understand where we're coming from, and can be patient enough to wait for a fresh product on video during the course of the next few months. With your continued support, hopefully we will be able to hold DVD tapings on a more frequent basis in the future, so as to provide you with new releases at a quicker pace.
Thanks everybody, and look for Volume 2 to be out in time for the big ROH events later this month!

I think that it is a good business plan! It is good to shimmer so you will have time to produce a better product and it’s good for the fans so we have something to wait for and we don’t need to spent a lot of money in one shot
I just thing that SHIMMER should post some content (videos, newswires, promos) to keep the interest in the company and to give the fans a reason to come back to the site Maybe even to have a Q&A on the forum with the wrestlers

Maybe we can get a video every once in a while of Lacey ranting about anyting.

I agree with the way the DVDs are being released. It's much better, much smarter and much safer to take baby steps and get some fanbase than it is to go full on, crash and burn in an attempt to "build Rome in a day".
I'm not a patient person ( ) but I'm not so impatient that I'd ask of anything more from a womens' promotion in north america just starting out, (It'd be crazy to ask of more requent shows from a newer joshi promo right now, too.) it doesn't make any sense to go so fast with this in such an unstable market. A loyal fanbase takes longer than a few months to build especially with a product like this.
The point is success. Baby steps, patience.

Sounds like a very sound game plan. I look forward to Volume 2.

All's good. I just have to remember not to order anything until Vol 2 comes out.

It won't be long before Volume 2 becomes available. As for a video about Lacey's rants, count me in! I loved the loaded flower suggestion. Lacey is numero uno!!!!!

the plan is pretty precise and should work .it is twice as hard to start a women's wrestling promotion than a man's and most of the mens promotiond fail within a year so baby steps and asolid product of wrestling not tits and ass will survive a lot longer i mean look at wew a few years back they tried to mix women's hardcore wrestling with tits and ass totally awful product.if shimmer can deliver like they did on vol 1 and then slowly intergrate storylines about wrestling not t&a and a championship or 2 and kind of follow the roh indy path i think shimmer can suceed! i for one am willing to buy the dvd's to help support the cause an dgo to live shows if they came out east chicago a little far from nj where i am,that also brings me to another point i have been to about 50 roh shows and it was starting to sour a bit but is picking up for me again with the recent storylines but i only grabbed a ticket for the 3/25 show in ny after they announced the shimmer match and the fact that kenta would be there and the release of vol 2 from shimmer sre my 3 reasons for going. so keep up the good work ladies and hopefully it will prosper for all in the end.

oh and one last note:on 3/11 i was in philly for the roh/czw doubleheader and i dragged a friend there that is not a big indy fan and i made him buy the shimmer dvd even though he already watched mine and then wouldn't you know in between shows after that crazy melee we were hanging about inside while thay kicked everyone else out because i am friends with a pwinsider photographer who covers roh and sure enough there we are and ms. corino was standing next to us and we started talking and i told her how i appreciated her shimmer efforts and then she asked what my friend had in his bag and it was the shimmer dvd i made him buy and she asked him if he would like her to sign it.and of course he said yes and was totelly marked out i think myself and ms. corino made him an indy fan that day but anyways she talked with us for a few more minutes and she was completely awesome to us and by the way she was in the middle of the melee that occured and was relating a story .she saidnecro was there to my right and sonjay dutt to her left so obviously she chose dutt to go after and she had slightly hurt her elbow laying one into him.the moral is this is the way the stars of a new promotion need to treat their fans so ms. corino you are awesome and i hope shimmer suceeds for everyone involved!

I'll say this much, doing things this way makes me anxiously await every SHIMMER release. It's unfortunate that SHIMMER can only handle doing one taping every 3 months but if that's what is best for business then so be it.
Although, one taping is really two shows so it evens out to one show every month and a half. That's actually a pretty arrangement.

That's a solid plan, similar to the one that ROH had in place when they first started out, and within a year they had been successful enough to move taping results closer together and expand their territory. And we all know the point they are at now. So I totally support Shimmer on this schedule, it's smart and has been proven to be a successful long term business plan, and anxiously await any scrap their willing to throw my way. Actually I fully support Shimmer irregardless of how they handle their business, but that's besides the point.

The DVD wasn't in this week's merchandise update on the ROH site. Does that mean it's delayed? Or was the 3/25 show not included in the "big ROH shows at the end of the month"? Just wanted to know if it was still on schedule, or if there's some delay issue that popped up.
