Awesome additions to Shimmer.
I'm looking forward to see these two ladies wrestle in future Shimmer venues/tapings.
Great job bringing these two to Shimmer Dave.

Was glad to read their Shimmer debut(s) went so very well. I was surprised they debuted as heels - Yeah, it's a more natural role for Saraya, but having been following 'em in Eve for the last year, it just never occurred to me they'd be baddies over there.
Looking forward to seeing 'em in action next weekend in Norwich'nSudbury!

I think it won't be too long before they win over the crowd and everyone loves 'em, they won't be heels for too long.

I would never want to see the Knights as faces because that means Saraya won't be threatening horrible deaths upon the crowd once a minute and that should never stop ever.

I don't want the Knights to turn face by any means, but all it would take is Saraya turning her evil gaze towards Portia and Nicole for them to suddenly feel the love in the Eagles Club.

Just a bit of background for those who are not too familiar with The Knights. Saraya is a 20 year veteran and an absolute legend of womens wrestling over here in the UK. She has terrorised many an arena in her time and has generated so much heat over the years that she once started a riot and had numerous [male] fans physically attack her. One of Saraya's more noteable matches saw her vs Wesna in an outdoor setting, with a ring that had just two ropes, in the middle of a a hurricane, torrential rain and a thunderstorm. Quite the sight! Saraya's husband, and Brittani's father, is 'Rowdy' Ricky Knight, a veteran of British rings. Her stepson and stepdaughter are wrestlers 'Naughty' Nikki Best and The Zebra Kid [who appeared on ROH's 'Frontiers Of Honor' event in 2003 vs Samoa Joe]. Her biological son is Zak Zodiak who has been wrestling for 11 years. He is 20. Yes, he started wrestling at 9 years old. Brittani Knight is currently just 18 years old yet is the most decorated female wrestler currently competing in Europe. Brittani started wrestling at 13 years old and has had countless wars against her own mother throughout the United Kingdom. Seriously, these two tear into each other as if they were sworn enemies!! In their first match against each other Saraya actually broke her own daughters wrist! We are EXTREMELY proud of the Knight girls over here in the UK and it's great to see them make such an impact in SHIMMER. We knew they would.

Oh, and Saraya actually wrestled for almost 7 months before even realising she was pregnant with young Brittani, so Brittani was actually bumping around a wrestling ring before she was even born!

7 months?! What, did she just assume she ate a little too much during the holidays and got a real bad flu?

I desperately hope we get Hiroyo vs Saraya somewhere down the road.

Anyone who hasn't yet is highly recommended to check out the interview Britani & Saraya did with Stew & Lee from the Women Of Wrestling Podcast last week. Truly must-hear stuff although I'd highly advise against eating anytime before, during or after Saraya's portion of the interview because some of the stories she tells about the hardships she's had to go through during her career can get pretty gruesome at times. But it's still a very entertaining and enlightening interview. ringbellesonline.com/2011/03/21/wow-podcast-19-with-saraya-britani-knight/Listening to this just escalated my respect for the Knights even more. SHIMMER struck gold with this group, after this weekend. As brilliant a heel as Saraya is, sneaky & youthful as Britani is, and smashing as K-Nox is in everything she does, that podcast is an incredible listen.

re: Saraya's pregnancy..... Saraya stated that she was still menstruating regularly and, aside from having gone up one bra size [which she attributed to 'eating a lot'], had not put on any extra weight and was therefore, genuinely, not aware that she was pregnant until she was almost 7 months gone with Brittani.
