plus the heels are more Over than the faces. The Boss does not slap hands and cheats on occasion to win, her moveset/names are evil and brutal...she is not a babyface. neither is CLM, the Ninjas, the IHWC, Kong, ect.

Actually, I'm not there is very few matches that I want to see to make me want to merit a purchase of it. I <3 Shimmer just these tapings and the fact I'm upset about faces always freaking winning turn me off to this taping. All because Portia and Matthews lost. tsk tsk.

Honestly I'd rather it been IHWC or Experience. But Ninja's seem like the most likely candidates way they were booked.

Faces not doing well as champs is not anything new in wrestling. John Cena Was over like crazy won the title and his value starting going down. That's not nearly the same thing and you know it. plus the heels are more Over than the faces. All the more reason to give Ashley and Nevaeh the belts. The heel teams don't need the belts. The Ohio girls have the most to gain with the belts. Also, The Experience are at the point in their respective careers where all veterans find themselves at some point. They put over the younger talent.

LOL I love how everyone was ****ing on me for the Favorites and Not So Favorites thread, and now I'm actually can't wait to see this on dvd, while everyone's ****ing on it.
I think the Jumping Blonde Angels winning it makes perfect sense from reasons I stated in the past, plus since they'll need to defend it at ROH shows and whatnot, it makes sense to have the two pretty girls defending it since ROH isn't exactly known for respecting women. Plus aren't they the only Tag team currently in shimmer besides the Suicide Blondes that actually teams outside of Shimmer? More marketability if they get to defend the belts in their home promotion.
By the way, how were the "rules" worked around in the Melissa/Blake match? Did the ref get knocked out or something?

They should know that whenever she is wrestling someone there is going to be some brawling outside of the ring. Anywho, I find this whole thread to be amusing.

I don't find Neveah and Lane attractive but maybe that's because i'm attracted to Asians/latina's/Brunettes. Diff strokes though.

With grammar skills like those, that's a real shame.
The whining and bitching in this thread about these shows from those of you that haven't even seen them yet is completely disrespectful, uncalled for and downright ignorant. I'm ashamed to even be associated with so-called "fans."
Ashley and Nevaeh were at least as over as any other team, the place erupted when they won the belts and for those of you who have been paying attention, they've been groomed for this since their very first appearance as a team. You think if they had lost I would be on here bitching about it? No, because I felt that every regular team in SHIMMER was at least as deserving.
As for Serena, this is how you make a star in a single night. She followed up her momentum from the last show, challenging Del Rey and losing again after putting up a fight. Then the interview with MsChif and the appearance by Sweeney perfectly set up the run in at the end of the night. If I were a trainer, I would put that second match up on the screen in front of any aspiring underdog babyface worker and tell them "Do this." The crowd was molten hot for Serena to pull out the victory, and she played that underdog role to damn near perfection, catching Sara off guard with a Marafuji fakeout and then right into the spear. Again, the place erupted when she got the victory, and I dare anyone to watch that match and tell me to my face she doesn't deserve to hang with the big dogs.
And just to fit with the underlying theme of this thread... Daizee didn't win the title. Wah, wah. *cry cry*

Another little bit that stands out that I hope the cameras picked up to make the dvd was the fans chanting "Wesna's gonna kill you" towards Amber with Amber saying "I know she is!"
Overall... not the best shows but definitely not the worst as Shim really hasn't put on a bad show ever. Obviously some moments I would have gotten rid of, matches eliminated, stuff like that but for 7 hours of action including Sparkle and autograph signings how can you really go wrong? And it accomplished something I never thought would happen and thats me becoming a MsChif fan.

From what Im gathering, the only people who do not like the taping, is the people who are bitching about Portia losing. It doesnt sound like they were at the event either.

Logically it would have made no sense to put the belts on the Ninjas with them building a simmering singles feud with Portia and Danger in my opinion.

Okay Ill touch on Sweeney too as long as its a hot topic here. Larry Sweeney is one of the most entertaining workers in the industry, if you dont know who he is, Im surprised you even found Shimmer to begin with, hes one of ROH's brightest. He's welcome at Shimmer in my opinion, it's not like DP had Sweeney don the tights and put the Tex-Ark-Ana title on the line against Mschif, he was there to entertain and help promote a fued. Franky ROH and Shimmer should have alot more interaction in my opinion so you can grab the larger ROH audience. I dont mind men in a female promotion, he wasnt wrestling so why get bent out of shape. I wouldnt even care if DP got more involved with the performance. Its still Shimmer Womens Athletes, no ones taking that away.

Well, allow me to break from the status quo and profess to liking the decision to make Ashley & Nevaeh the first tag champs. And not just because I predicted it either; they're an easily likeable young team, they work well together, the Rockers comparison is very apt and they've had good matches.
All in all, very good taping. Maybe not the greatest ever, but very good.

I'm not seeing ALL of the complaints being about that. Not saying I agree or disagree with any of them, but I'm seeing different people making different points. Like that about Sweeny, and Portia the Baby Killer, those are not complaints about "OMG, the ninja's lost!!!"
