Very shocked and sad to hear about Stew. The work he did for Ringbelles and for wrestling in general in the UK was amazing. Stew, along with Freaky and the gang, also were some of the first to fly to the States to check out the show. Without them proving it was possible, and not insane, many of us wouldn't have followed suit. I only met him once, but I spoke to him a year ago at the after party and spoke with him about how he helped pave the way for other fans to fly out to Chicago. I'll miss seeing him sitting front row every show. I always enjoy watching the fellow Shimmer fans reactions whenever a big event happens and as he sat on the hard camera I always enjoyed seeing him marking out. RIP.

Yeah, Stew was one of the reasons I found it feasible to fly out, and not feel insane in doing so. It will be so surreal not to see him there right in the centre of the front row this weekend.

We proved it was possible; nobody ever said anything about it not being insane

Aussies have never Sparkled. Not even Savannah Summers did. I guarantee you Cassidy will be on the main show. I'd put money on it.

This is our first time at Shimmer, my wife and I are thrilled to hear Thunderkitty will be there as well as Portia, my wife Lori's favorite. And of course the rest of the roster is going to make this a weekend to remember. We also look forward to meeting many of our fellow fans.
The one cloud is the sudden passing of Stewart Allen.

Edit: Added KC to the main roster as per Cuda's post below. That's an impressive list. Almost makes up for no Mercedes Seriously, though this looks like it's going to be an awesome set of shows. Can't believe Vanessa Kraven is going to be there. She was the first wrestler I discovered when I first got into indy wrestling. 4 days to go!

Just leaves 1 spot left. I swore that Skater was brought in officially as Sparkle at first. Not important, but when I hear praise of her rise through the rankings, that part seems to be brought up.

Not important, but when I hear praise of her rise through the rankings, that part seems to be brought up. Skater wasn't. Her debut was against Lufisto on Vol 23. I believe Mia Yim, Courtney Rush and Leva Bates are the only three women who have gone from Sparkling to main eventing. Edit: While I was correct in that Skater debuted on the Vol. 23 DVD she was originally going to be on Sparkle. I can only assume Dave wisely thought that it was a waste of money to fly her out to the US and not even record it. Or that he felt that the best way to debut her was to have her walk out and issue an open challenge cockily and then get her arsed kick by an unannounced (as always) Lufisto. Two new wrestlers have been confirmed for participation in the May 2nd & 3rd SHIMMER pre-show matches (aka SPARKLE). They are BELLE VON BLACK and KELLIE SKATER.

I recall Savannah was supposed to Sparkle as well last year but then got bumped up to main show to team with Santana. Probably due to all the various injuries and travel problems that weekend.

So, Shimmer's in need of a ring announcer and Justin Roberts just got released by WWE.
Coincidence?!

I bet SHIMMER needing a ring announcer is news to one Mr. Joseph Eastman.
