There have been a lot pros and cons mentioned regarding the creation of a SHIMMER title. If they start doing one show a month then I would be all for it. However, if they are going to stick with the double-show every three months schedule, then perhaps instead they should have an annual tournament. ECWA has the Super 8, MCW has the Shane Shamrock Memorial, and CZW has Best of the Best as their premier events, so having an annual tournament wouldn't be without precedent.
The purpose of the tournament would be to determine who is the best wrestler in SHIMMER for that year. It would take place at the last taping of the year and the participants would be the top wrestlers in the company, based on their success in SHIMMER over the past year. A cardinal rule of booking the tournament would be 100% clean finishes, of course. And at the end, the winner would receive the tournament trophy that would later have her name engraved on it (like the Shane Shamrock Memorial trophy).
The benefits would be 1) SHIMMER would have their own premier event that they can hype, and 2) they have a means of determining the top SHIMMER wrestler without dealing with title defenses or the chance of the title being vacated. In short, you have the pros of having a SHIIMMER title without the cons.
So what do you think? Should SHIMMER continue to build towards having a title or is an annual tournament the best way to go? I look forward to reading your opinions.

Tournaments are already overdone, especially with women's wrestling. Between Chick Fight doing several tournaments each year, the WXW Elite 8, Queens of Chaos, and the assorted other indies that do tournaments, if Shimmer does one too it should only be to determine a champion. Shimmer is different from these other promotions because it runs regular shows all the time, not just tournaments.

Speaking of tournments,I guess Raw has one currently going for the Women`s Championship.For me,I would like to see some InterGender matches(singles or tags) because I think they would add more fans while still putting a focus on Womens Wrestling.For example,I just purchased a DVD from World Womens Wrestling-Champion vs Champion and there was a 6 Person Mixed Tag Team Challenge that included 2 girls-Mia Love & Natalia(she can move & that girl is probably the future talent for WWW-especially if Nikki Roxx goes to WWE- winning 2 belts already up in New England).This match started out slow but it really picked up and I thought it was really good.I guess InterGender is going to be part of WWW.As far as picking the men(from the indies),that ofcourse would be up to management & maybe the girls also.Most everyone is familiar with WWE and a dream match for me would be Finlay taking on Melissa with the Leprechaun(alot of fans call him other names but he`s a Leprechaun) under the ring.He is my favorite male personality from WWE and I guess he is from Milwaukee which is kind of interesting.As far as legends go Melissa vs Wilbur Snyder and thats going pretty far back.
