That probally was going to be the plan at this set of tapings to be honest. First they had to show how they were better than the Ninjas so they couldn't really lose then. Once they got the belt they had to show how great they were for a little while so it wouldn't have been good to lose at the next few either. The thing with 3G is that they were perhaps behind Lufisto (and since she missed 4 shows last April perhaps even moreso) the #1 babyface act for the last two years so they have to look fairly strong. True and I think they're a great babyface and are extremely likeable but maybe they could've lost in a non-title match cleanly to show that whatever team beat them is a threat and then when 3G and the other team collided for the titles it makes it like 3G could conceivably lose, that's what I believe anyway and I would love to see a Worst Best Friends title reign, instead of the championship name plates, Eagles has a cup of Starbucks with the championship straps on the side and Nicole has the same thing but with a Tim Hortons. I see your point. I never get though when a champion is having a match why that match isn't for the titles. If you were going to have say 3G vs Veda and Shazza why wouldn't it be a tag team title match? You could argue they haven't earned it, but then why did McKay/Tenille, Melissa/Mercedes, Del Rey/Eagles get title shots despite never winning a match? You would have to have them lose singles matches. Then Nakagawa is your girl as she must have the worst win-loss record of any Shimmer main eventer!

In fairness Madison was the Shimmer Champion when she and Del Rey got a shot and Melissa was the Shimmer Champion (but for how much longer) when she and Mercedes challenged 3G. Why couldn't teams like Melanie Cruise and Mena Libra get a shot when they were a team, that would be interesting to have two big monsters as the Shimmer Tag Team Champions.

True Madison was champion, but they had lost four shows ago to Hamada and Melissa so why they deserved to face Hamada and her new partner for the titles no less was odd!
Melanie and Libra were a good pairing. I again feel they would have gotten a shot at the belts on Volumes 49-52 had Libra not left.

I would've loved to have seen Libra against someone like Kana, I imagine it would take a hell of a lot more to take Libra down just based on her build alone and if they had a good 10 minute match then Libra could've been a star. Now I miss Mena in a way, the tag team with her and Melanie never really went anywhere which is a shame. They could've had a good monster heel vs. smaller but craftier faces feud with Hamada and Kurihara. I just think that Mena should've used the name 'Melanie Libra' and tried to fool
