A lot of Shimmer tag matches look like some extreme version of the classic southern tag match to me. Sometimes to a fault. It occasionally gets to the point where the babyfaces look like complete idiots trying to get the ref to turn around whilst there partner is getting a double team smashing. It's a classic spot but it's not quite as effective in 2013, not when it's used that often. I've always got time for the stooging and stalling tough. Love that stuff.

I hate that tag team spot, it's so annoying for the babyface to act that stupid. I remember Allison Danger saying during a tag match (I think with the Ohio Girls) that one of them wansn't doing their tag team partner any favours by constantly entering the ring as it was leading to teh ref being distracted and the heels double-teaming the other one. However years later it was Allison Danger who was doing exactly the same spot and I was like "Really?"

I just saw this and my Jaw dropped a little. This episode is going to be great, I just know it. Two clashing personalities for sure. I can't wait to hear it!

A free match from last year's Beyond Wrestling Armory Amore show, as she took on Lexxus.

That Colt Cobana interview/conversation with Portia was really entertaining - except that I get a bit of a queasy feeling with Cabana is pressing the indie wrestlers he talks to - he did this with both Portia and Chuck Taylor - "So, how long are you going to do this? What's your plan? What's your goal? You gotta have a plan! You gotta have goals! You can't just be out there getting beat up for years and years!"
On the one one, I think he genuinely has their best interests at heart. On the other hand, if they take his advice to heart, they're more likely to quit wrestling sooner than they otherwise would.

I would think they have the same goal as he does. To make money being a wrestler. I think when he asks people that sort of question he is really asking if they have any more specific goals. For some, it's WWE. For others, it's Japan. For others, it's something else entirely.

I located a Ninja on the mean streets of Glasgow last night... albeit after she had wrestled, which made it a bit too easy.
