Did anybody get their DVD yet? I did! I couldn't believe that I got Vol.5 today. This is the fastest that I have gotten anything from ROH.

I did and here's a review
The Bonus match is the Haze match that was online and builts Haze/Knox for later in the show.
Rain vs. Lee is a good opener, Rain continues to give solid performances and Lee is improving every show.
Mschif vs. Rogers is a submission based match with both women doing cool submissions and is good to see Rogers moving up in the ranks.
O'Neal vs. Deeb is the low point of the DVD but was still decent.
Lexie/Malia vs. Josie/Ariel is a good tag match and Team Experience is awesome in tag matches. Josie showed fire and Ariel was her normal solid self.
Danger vs. Melissa is a good first time match and I look forward to a rematch in the future.
Kong vs. Roxx this is where the DVD gets really Awesome! It's a big woman vs. small woman match that sucks the crowd and the viewer at home in to the match. Roxx plays her role to perfection she times her comeback perfect and I think this is Roxx's breakout performance.
Kong is also great in her role as a evil heel monster and look out for the spinning back fist, Great match!
Lacey vs. Nikita it is good to see Lacey back in a Shimmer ring and Nikita looked good in her debut. Good match that the crowd was into and had a hard task of following Roxx vs. Kong.
2/3 Falls Haze vs. Knox better then their first match with more lighting fast counters and Knox being the most over heel of the Night. A True Shimmer classic and a match that true women's wrestling fans should see.
Del Ray vs. Martinez, better then their first match and a must see match! Hard hitting, higher impact and more flawless since you could tell both women watched the first match many times.
The DVD runs 2 hours 55 mins and the bonus match makes it 3 hours 2 mins. The best match was a tie between the 2/3 falls and Del Ray/Martinez with Kong vs. Roxx coming in 3rd.
This tops Volume 1 as the best SHIMMER DVD and all wrestling fans should buy this DVD.

I haven't watched the whole show yet, but the crowd was the hottest I've seen on a Shimmer DVD, and I liked the new setup.

Thanks for the review(those probably will be my picks to) and I like a hot crowd.I`ll be picking up this DVD pretty soon.But still into the first WWW DVD-Champion vs Champion.The main event is Nikki Roxx vs Ariel(no hold barred,no countout,no dq).Actually what I liked best about that match was the fan participation or the other way around,both champs participating on the fans.Other great matches were on this DVD one of them with men(Natalia is hot from PWF Mayhem-it seems alot of their wrestlers go on to WWE).Also I won`t mind seeing a match between Violet Flame & Mariko Yoshida.

I heard Punk, Whitmer, McGuinness and Cabana were in attendance. Where exactly were they sitting if anyone knows?

Got mine this afternoon. I told myself to wait 'till the weekend, but I caved and watched the whole thing tonight. Here's my quickie review...
First off, this volume just looked better than the prior volumes. I liked the SHIMMER screen, the darkened crowd and the red aprin(although I think that a mixed purprle/black would be awesome, similar to a scheme of the RoH ring circa mid 2003. ;D)
1. Rain vs. Lorelei Lee
Servicable opener. There were quite a few awkward moments though. It was almost as if these 2 have never worked together before and didn't have the time to talk about a basic match flow. *1/4.
2. MsChif vs. Cindy Rogers
Want to see girls do submissions to each other? This is the match for you! There's nothing in the way of psychology or selling in the match, but this was still fun to watch. I've always greeted Cindy Rogers with a passive 'meh', but she caught my attention here. If only she had some kind of gimmick or personality to her to make me care. I'd like to see this again, but with more build. **1/2
3. Amber O'Neal vs. Serena Deeb
This was a perfectly acceptable plucky face Vs. bitchy diva heel match. There wasn't anything particularly impressive or original going on, but both worked hard. Serena looks like she was well trained. She was always on the move and doesn't look like she's lost in the ring. Amber is a confident worker who's very comfortable in her role. **1/4
4. Lexie Fyfe & Malia Hosaka vs. Ariel & Josie
Typical formula tag team stuff. I felt that the face in peril segment went on a little too long. I'm a huge Malia and Ariel fan, but they didn't really do or show much here. Josie, neither. Lexie...was Lexie. I still haven't figured out if that's a good or bad thing yet. Low point of the show for me. I think that Fyfe/Hosaka need a win over a real tough set of opponents to be seen as something more than the veteran bullies. *
5. Cheerleader Melissa vs. Allison Danger
Not much for me to say here. They didn't blow their wad being that this pretty much served just one purpose of furthuring the MsChif/Melissa feud, which was a hot post match angle. But what little they did was good, leaving me with no doubt that these 2 can work well in the future. **
6. Amazing Kong vs. Nikki Roxx
It was strange seeing Nikki Roxx as a plucky underdog face when I've been watching her heel it up lately, Lacey style. While I think that Kong could have heeled it up a bit more and that tremendous top rope rana was downright ugly, I think this was probably the best midcard match of SHIMMER'S short life and one of the company's top 3, probably. Great story with great work that built just right. ***3/4
7. Lacey vs. Nikita
It's easy to see why WWE snatched up Nikita - There's a certain aura about her in ring style that would mesh really well with how they train their women. She keeps it rooted in a certain simplicity that's effective. With that, it worked really well against Lacey here, who looked as good as I've ever seen her. The match kept getting better as it went on, too, but I think it ended just as they were rounding 3rd base. Overall it was nothing phenomenal, but it was probably the most psychologically and fundamentally sound match on the card. ***1/2
8. Daizee Haze vs. Rebecca Knox (2 out of 3 Falls)
Lord help me, I was ready to pump out a ****+ rating for this, but it kind of kept dipping as it went on. I think I had their Vol. 4 match at ***1/2 - it was smooth, fast paced, and confident with no real dead spots. Their chain wrestling here was pretty messy to start off, but once they started to get it together they started to get a little too fancy and it just wasn't flowing all that well. I detected a few spots where Daizee seemed frustrated when things weren't going that smoothly sometime into the 2nd fall. And that ending...I get what they were doing and I liked the payoff with that great promo/setup from Danger...BUT I just didn't like having to sit through a potentially great 25 minute match to get there. It doesn't do much for Daisy and it just kind of made this match pointless if you think about it. Back to the match itself, it did show shades of awesomeness in between the odd spots. **3/4 seems too low and *** seems too high, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and call it ***, mostly because of Knox's awesome heelisms and the early match dance contest.
9. Sara Del Rey vs. Mercedes Martinez (No Time Limit)
Not much to say here. You knew the work is going to be great, and it was. My complaints with this are pretty much a blend of my problems with the last 2 matches - ended too soon with an ending I didn't care for(yet understood). I think I would have been happier had the No Time limit been made better use of rather than going a mere 2 minutes longer than the Vol. 1 match. But still, I'd probably call this right on par with Vol. 1, which I had at about ***3/4. I know they're capable of at least ****1/2, though!
Despite the grievances, this show delivered for the most part. It's definately something to be proud of.

^It was pretty easy to spot McGuinness; just look for the spikes.

I thought it was a really good show, too. The match quality was high overall. I like that they're starting to get some defined storylines, too. I too found myself groaning a bit at some of the finishes, sometimes the result, but mostly the actual scenario. Roxx v. Kong was seriously entertaining. I love the Lacey. Strong psychology in that match. The two mains were nice. Hooray for Shimmer!
