Post your SHIMMER Top 10 Lists

[pkpunk]

Folks, I’m asking for some help, here.



Obviously, as it’s known, I’m a fan of all things wrestling. I try not to side with one thing solely, I like to try and keep my spectrum as open as possible (except for CZW, screw that). Well, for October, things will decidedly be different for me? Why? Because I will be going to my first set of Shimmer tapings on October 27th and 28th. But, there’s also another thing. Not only will this be my first tapings, this will also be the tapings where the FIFTIETH Shimmer show will occur. It’ll be the nighttime show on Saturday night.


Now, as quite a few people also know, I write for ProWrestlingPowerhouse.com, pretty much as their official correspondent for all things women’s wrestling, whether it be Shimmer or Shine (Gonna add NCWFF in the future, also). Obviously, I’m excited for Shimmer 50, so I’m planning on writing quite a bit for the website for the next few months on there, and trying to spread the good graces of shimmer as far and wide as possible

Now, why am I writing this? Because, goshdarnit, I want some help. I’m gonna be posting quite a few things in October, almost all of it for Shimmer. I’m talking match reviews, top 10 lists, maybe some wrestle profiles (especially Portia Perez, since her birthday occurs the same weekend), and I want to get some help from the PWP Unive… Nation. I’m going to be making a few Top 10 Lists for Shimmer in October, aiming for one a week until we get to the big event. That’s 4 overall. I’m going to make the following lists…

Top 10 Best Shimmer Athletes: Who are the greatest athletes that have ever graced the Shimmer ring? Queen of Wrestling Sara Del Rey? Your Soul’s Tormentor MsChif? The woman who weights None of your Damn Business Awesome Kong? Who is the greatest wrestler in Shimmer history?

Top 10 Shimmer Moments: What are the moments that helped define what Shimmer has become and will become in the future? Was it Mercedes Martinez and Sara Del Rey going 20 full minutes? Shimmer delivering one show from Florida? Was it Sara Del Rey’s celebration after becoming the Shimmer Champion? What helped create the greatest women’s Wrestling company in the world?

Top 10 Shimmer Matches: There have been some amazing matches in the first 48 shimmer tapings… MsChif vs. Cheerleader Melissa in a Falls Count Anywhere match. Ashley Lane and Nevaeh outlasting 5 others teams in a 45 minute match to become the first ever Shimmer Tag Team Champions, even Saraya Knight and Britani Knight beating the hell out of each other in a No-Disqualification Match in what would become Britani’s final match before she went to the WWE. What were the matches that left an indelible mark in the annals of time in the Berwyn Eagles Club?

Top 10 Shimmer Teams: The Canadian NINJAs? The Scream Queens? The Knight Dynasty? Teams have come and gone since 2006, but who are the teams that have stayed in the fan’s minds over the past 6 years? Is there a team that didn’t stay long, but stayed in the fan’s minds? Is there a dominant team that no one cares about? We’ll explore the best teams to ever come together in Shimmer’s history

There’s a lot here, I know. But, there’s a reason I’m spilling all of the beans right here… I want help. I want to know the fan’s opinions on these. I want fans to bug me anywhere they can. On my facebook (I’m the only one with my name), my twitter account (@pkpunk1), on a forum underneath the post, in a Private Message, as my personal email ([e-mail]) anywhere they can get ahold of me. If I get enough answers, then I’ll double every list, giving my own top 10 and the fans top 10 lists for everything. The only thing I’m asking for, to anyone who answers, is 5(FIVE) picks in EACH category. It can be in any order you want. It does not have to be in a top 5 form at all.



This company has stayed in business because of the loyalty of it’s fans. And now, it’s the fans turn to show that loyalty back by naming their top 10 in each category, no explanation necessary. I’LL be giving an explanation, but I’m somewhat required to. So, get those comments down at the bottom, message me on Facebook, Tweet me on Twitter, do whatever you can. Let’s turn October into Shim-tober.

The deadline for votes is September 30th at Midnight CST.

Also, this was done with permission from Shimmer Owner Dave Prazak, as I asked him ahead of time If I could post this on here.


Edit: change some wording so hopefully it becomes more understandable to all.

For starters, you should be aware that SHIMMER is always written in caps. It has been that way from the beginning. It also seems a bit awkward that you started a thread here about wanting responses from us on these topics, but apparently you don't want them posted here on the board, just sent to you privately. There's more incentive to post thoughts about this on the board for everyone else to read, rather than just sending you private messages. It sounds like it could be a fun interactive thread here. Also, what did CZW do to you, exactly?

[pkpunk]

well, the thing about it is I wrote this out to post on to the website itself, and posted it a bunch of other place verbatim. If people would feel more comfortable posting them on here, by all means, go right ahead. As far as writing SHIMMER, I honestly have no idea why i always write it like that... i'll have to stop that form now on. And as far as CZW... I like wrestling, not complete violent crap

[Deleted]

There's considerably more regular wrestling in CZW than the violent stuff. Like, at a 10 to 1 ratio. Maybe one match per show, except for the yearly death match tournament. It's only one aspect of the promotion as a whole. Lots of talented guys have appeared there over the years who don't do any violent stuff at all.

I'll post my picks for each of your categories here later. Should they be ranked in some sort of order, or just 5-10 of each? You aren't very clear in your post about if the #1 spot in each person's list earns that more points in your final tally than what is listed in a #5 spot, for example. I assume you have a point system like that in place if you're asking for a Top 10, correct?

[pkpunk]

left that open to interpretation, post however you want to. top 5 list of just your 5 best moments. I have to way to sort everything out on my end already

So they should be in order, or it doesn't matter? Is there a point tally to rank everything, or isn't there?

If sequence doesn't matter, then that will take less time than if you need them ranked in order due to a point system. I'm all for contributing to this by taking the time to determine and post my picks, but it would help to know if/how they are going to be tallied. "Post however you want to" doesn't instill a lot of confidence in there being a system.

[cubsptrain]

Honestly, you need to make this as clear as humanly possible. You want to rank these things for your articles, yet tell people it's open to interpretation when they look for a response. Say I write a thing for my favorite SHIMMER moment. Does me being screamed at by Rebecca Knox really rank up there with Melissa winning the title. If no point value is assumed by me...how is it to be assumed by you?

You shouldn't have posted this stuff UNTIL it was all sorted out on your end. Give us rules and we're more likely to help you out.

[pkpunk]

just give me your top 5, no ranking.

I also edited the original post so hopefully it becomes a little more clearer.

[Deleted]

Since no points are being given, I decided in some cases to list more than 10. I couldn't narrow them down.
