Okay, 7/8 taping sounded like the most awesome thing ever and womens' wrestling is really going into new frontiers now with shimmer, now that there is a place for it.
My question is: What would youl ike to see from Shimmer now?
Who else would you like to see in shimmer?
What "new frontiers" do you see shimmer going into? Precendents being set?
For the short term, more of the same. Shimmer is still a new promotion, so growth is going to be difficult, although obviously the potential is there.
Assuming retail sales of the DVDs are good, I think more regular tapings are on the cards for six months - a year down the line. At some point in year two, I'd also like the promotion to move to a bigger location. More special attraction matches with ROH in the tristate would also promote growth.
As far as the product itself goes, I would definitley like to see a championship belt. Titles are as synonomous with wrestling, to me, as a wrestling ring, so one is needed.
Also: more promos! Certainly they've been increasing gradually over the course of the tapings we've seen, but a good fifteen - twenty minutes of pretaped interviews throughout the shows are essential for establishing character and storylines.

Do you think ROH fans at ROH shows would get tired of that?

I like vignettes for developing character and character interactions. But not so many that you get a late WCW feel. Maybe attacks backstage. ..creative promo montage.
Straight-up interviews can get annoying (and boring).
I would also say a little more storylines/promos. Obviously, no one wants to see the story overtake the emphasis on workrate and in-ring competition, but it would do more to get over the gimmicks and personalities to put more story into the mix.
Do you think ROH fans at ROH shows would get tired of that?
As clarification, I didn't mean more per show; rather just have them more often, one to an event for a run of five-six shows, maybe. Your typical ROH fan tends to be a workrate mark anyway, so as long as the match is quality, it shouldn't bore them.
I just think that its an easier way of breaking into that market without having to go to the immediate expense of running a pure Shimmer show.

Agreed. My call for more promos was more along the lines of getting more of the women to do them, rather than a straight thirty minutes of talking.

Unfortunately, WCW and TNA have overkilled the Canadian stable of wrestlers gimmick for me...

I don't know about New Frontiers, Shimmer only had three tapings this year, thats a very low number even for a new promotion, So I just hope for more shows next year.

Technically 3 tapings during 2006, but 4 tapings in the first year of operation, and 8 DVD releases were filmed during that period of time. They've said numerous times that the goal in the first year was to test the market for a women's wrestling DVD series, and see what kind of audience there is for such a thing, and if that audience would be willing to spend money on 8 women's wrestling DVDs over the course of a year. Sure some wrestling fans might give 1 or 2 DVDs a look, but how many would be willing to drop the cash on a regular basis? Shimmer was very smart in that it didn't run too many shows too quickly and be forced into horrible debt or out of business as a result. Many predicted the promotion wouldn't last more than 1 or 2 shows.
