Just FINALLY got the time to watch Volume 3, and I was definitely impressed. Rebecca Knox lived up to the hype, and Daizee and Del Ray tore it up in the main event, but the undercard match I enjoyed the most was probably the one between Rain and Nikki Roxx. And thinking back over the first 3 Volumes, I've been really impressed by both girls.
Most of the attention for SHIMMER tends to focus on the "Main Eventers" like Lacey, Daizee, Mercedes, Sara, Danger and Knox (with Melissa and MsChif in there too), and for good reason. ALL of those girls can seriously go, and all their matches so far have been great. But Rain and Roxx definitely stand out to me, as girls who could totally hang with that group.
Nikki was part of the hot opening tag on Volume 1, then had a really fun match with Lexie Fyfe where both girls came out looking better, and Rain had a solid match with Ariel, and then a REALLY good match with Allison Danger that is one of my favorite SHIMMER matches. Then they had a really solid match together on Volume 3, as Nikki is a great babyface, and Rain is a tremendous heel.
I'd love to see these two move up the card in future SHIMMER tapings. I know Rain wrestled Del Ray on Volume 4, and the MHWC worked Del Ray and Martinez on Volume 6, and Nikki worked Amazing Kong on Volume 5, and I'm really looking forward to all those matches. But I'd love to see Rain/Mercedes, Nikki/Del Ray, Rain/Daizee or Roxx/Knox down the line. Obviously there's a ton of talent in SHIMMER, so I just wanted to call some attention to a couple of girls who don't always get the spotlight, but certainly deserve it.
