I remember longing for Viper to rock up in Shimmer and it's finally happened! She was a damn monster from what I can gather and she held her own against Madison Eagles, had a great hoss battle against Havok and constantly looked really impressive. I see big things in Viper's future in Shimmer and I know that I'm not the only one.
What did everyone else think of her?

Pure dead brilliant. Glamorous hair atop a Scottish killer. She came full force.

I loved her, though I thought it was a bit early for her to get a title shot. That could go for a lot of new wrestlers, last weekend.

I wasn't terribly impressed, to be honest. But that's down to my personal preferences. I've never really liked the whole big, mean giants who hit hard and lumber around style. In terms of "big" wrestlers in the company, Kraven, Havok and Melanie all do it better than what I saw from Viper. That match against Havok was particularly ugly. So I'm not going to be lobbying for a return.

I thought she was decent besides the match against Havok. I seem to be in the incredibly small minority of not really liking Havok. Her in ring work just doesn't do anything for me, and I get that she looks kinda unique, by which I mean it looks like someone took her by the heels and dipped her into the hot topic. I dunno though, I thought Viper was pretty decent for the big style.

Being a hard hitting giant monster is Havok's bread and butter; so you don't mind when Havok does it but you don't like when Viper does the same thing? :/ Seems like a massive double standard is all I'm saying.

I was not a fan at all.
The match with Havok on Friday was super clunky and didn't leave me with a great first impression.
My overall issue was that her striking looked really, really bad. She pulled up on everything, including the old Earthquake move on the chest. It looked awful. I couldn't get into her as the big monster bruiser type when she looks like she's afraid to actually make contact with someone.

I wasnt there live, So I'll just have to wait for the dvds. But her math with havok (although it seems like a decent portion of people did not fancy the match) it had to have been better than khali v big show...right?

Not quite that bad. More reminiscent of Mark Henry vs. Big Show to me.

Well I did like Viper's work in Japan. Would any be willing to see a second match between the two for a better result, or do you think history will repeat itself?

I don't believe she has the mean streak in her necessary to be an effective monster heel. She may, she may not - she didn't make me believe it. She has lots of potential though, and is different than the rest of the roster.
She needs to find her inner Vader.

I love Viper. I think she is great in the ring and she has good charisma. I want her back for sure.
My issue with her is the same issue I have with the other "big" girls (i.e. Havok, Kraven, Cruise, Kong, etc). While these girls are big and able to pull big moves out, they shine with they are the big girl. When they are put into a match with another big girl and try to do big girl moves, it doesn't translate well. In the Havok/Viper match, it seems like both of them tried to pick up the other, but neither being strong enough to really make it look effective. It was a lot of, okay now I"m going to pick you up, so help me out type stuff.
