Just finished screening Vol. 3 final edit

[SHIMMER office]

I'm in Tampa right now for several days of ROH production, and we just got done screening the final edit of SHIMMER Volume 3. I'm very pleased with how it turned out, given the negative factors we had to deal with going into that hectic day (partially due to the blizzard stranding several wrestlers on the east coast).

As I've noted previously, I view Allison Danger vs. Rebecca Knox as the best match of Alli's career, and for those who have their doubts about her improvement as a wrestler over the course of the past year or so, you may be quite surprised when you see this match. At the end of the 2/12 taping, I pulled Rebecca aside and thanked her for her hard work that evening, and told her that no matter what, she's on every show we do from this point forward. She really broke out as a star for us on that night, and has a tremendous future in this business.

Sara Del Rey and Daizee Haze also turned things up several notches in their main event match on the Volume 3 release, in a true main event level contest that really brought out both wrestlers' strengths.

I was also very pleased with Nikki Roxx's progression with each Volume of SHIMMER we've filmed thus far. She keeps topping her previous outings, had a solid opener against Rain on Volume 3, and we're giving her the ball to run with on 5/21 against Amazing Kong.

I can't wait to hear feedback from the fans on the effort put forth by all of the SHIMMER women who appeared at the 2/12 taping, and even moreso, I look forward to each of them trying to top their previous performances come 5/21.

Volume 3 is set to be released by ROHwrestling.com by the third week of May, and we'll have copies available on 5/21 in Berwyn as well.

Sounds great, DP.

I thought Allison's match with Rain on Vol 2 was fantastic (best on the disc), so I'm absolutely intrigued to see how she can top that on Vol 3. Also, I'm all K-Noxed up having seen her in three other promotions over the last month, so I can't wait to see her show her stuff in SHIMMER.

Who all didn't make the show on that date anyway? Lacey, Mercedes, who else? Christie?

Any word yet on whether there will be any bonus matches on the Vol 3 release? I know the pre-show ROH matches were taped in Chicago recently for inclusion on a future SHIMMER release... is it too soon for any of that footage to appear yet?

Lacey, Mercedes & Ariel all missed the Vol 3/4 taping. Christie Ricci was never scheduled.

I'm really looking forward to Danger/Knox, as I've been really impressed with Allison over the first 2 SHIMMER Volumes. I went into Volume 1 not expecting a whole lot from Danger/Phoenix and ended up loving the match. She also had a great match with Rain on Volume 2. Can't wait to see her top that here.

Honestly can't imagine Del Ray/Haze being anything BUT good, so I'm looking forward to that. And Nikki Roxx definitely impressed me on the undercards of the first 2 shows, so I'm really looking forward to her match with Rain. Shantelle/Melissa also looks good on paper.

Can't wait for this to be released. If it's being released at the end of the month I'll probably pick it up at ROH on 6/3, but I'm really excited about it either way.

Awesome I will so buy this as soon as it comes out.

I've become quite a fan of the work of Rebecca Knox almost one year ago, when I first saw her work for Queens of Chaos in France. Can't wait to see her SHIMMER matches. Glad to have her back in Europe for at least a couple of months. This gives me the chance to see her wrestle in Germany on June 3rd.
