Yeah, I've wanted to learn Japanese for ages, so this is really just an excuse to start on it. Not even going to try to learn how to read it though

NIKKI STORMScotland's Nikki Storm has quickly become one of the top women on the European wrestling scene. Nikki currently competes on all-female events promoted by companies such as Pro Wrestling EVE, Bellatrix, and ICW Fierce Females. She also had the opportunity to add Japan's JWP promotion to her growing resume earlier this year. North America is next on the agenda for Nikki Storm, and we're pleased to have her as part of the SHIMMER roster for next month's events in Berwyn. Visit www.nikkistorm.com to learn more about her. Nikki joins the following previously announced competitors for SHIMMER 58-61 weekend... SHIMMER ChampionCHEERLEADER MELISSASHIMMER Original Cheerleader Melissa has the distinction of being the only wrestler to compete on all fifty-seven SHIMMER shows thus far. She began her second reign as SHIMMER Champion on April 6th of this year, dethroning Saraya Knight inside a steel cage in the main event of SHIMMER 53, to become the only woman to hold the SHIMMER Championship on two occasions. SHIMMER Tag Team ChampionsKELLIE SKATER & TOMOKA NAKAGAWAThe "Global Green Gangsters" tag team of Kellie Skater & Tomoka Nakagawa, which has enjoyed success in both Japan as well as the United States, captured the SHIMMER Tag Team Championships from "The Canadian Ninjas" Portia Perez & Nicole Matthews on April 14th of this year. The championship victory for "3G" was Skater's first in SHIMMER competition, and Nakagawa's second (the first being her SHIMMER Tag Team Championship reign with partner Daizee Haze). MADISON EAGLESFormer SHIMMER Champion Madison Eagles made history during 2011 as the first wrestler to defend the title outside of the United States. After an impressive title reign which included successful defenses against Melissa, Ayumi Kurihara, MsChif, Ayako Hamada, Serena Deeb, Hiroyo Matsumoto and others, Eagles was forced onto the sidelines for the duration of 2012 with a severe knee injury. Madison returned to SHIMMER during April of this year and plowed through the competition, appearing to have not lost a step. "The World Famous" KANAOne of the most skilled fighters on the planet, Kana has participated in of some of the most memorable bouts in SHIMMER's eight year history. Her SHIMMER 50 battle against Ayako Hamada earned 2012 Match of the Year honors from the SHIMMER fans. In addition to being one half of a formidable tag team duo with partner LuFisto, Kana's singles contests against the likes of Sara Del Rey, Cheerleader Melissa, Mercedes Martinez, Madison Eagles, and others have solidified her position as a major player within the SHIMMER ranks. Kana has appeared on every SHIMMER event since her arrival at SHIMMER 41, and will continue that trend during SHIMMER 58-61 weekend. Look for more women to be added to the talent list for SHIMMER 58-61 during the remaining weeks leading up to the events. Over 30 of the top women athletes from around the world will be a part of the festivities! SHIMMER 58-61 will take place at the Berwyn Eagles Club (6309 26th Street) in Berwyn, IL on Saturday & Sunday, October 19th & 20th, 2013. Bell time on Saturday, October 19th is 2pm.

Front row reserved seating is already completely sold out for the entire weekend. General admission tickets are still available, at a cost of $30 per full day of taping (two DVD volumes worth of live matches each day, so essentially $15 per DVD).

Excellent news! The roster always remains exciting, can't wait to see where Storm fits in. Look forward to seeing the match pairings for these shows. Judging by the results of the last tapings Eagles could end up with a title shot, but at the same time I don't see her turning face. She'll somehow end up with the title soon though. At least, I want her to.
Eagles for champ!

Careful, Dave, you don't want too many repeats... even though you just added someone new, and will probably be adding 3-4 more new wrestlers, like the norm...

Don't do a web search for images of Lorelei Lee or Jessica James without some sort of age block gimmick enabled.
