JUST 29 DAYS UNTIL SHIMMER RETURNS TO BERWYN!
---------------------------------------------------------------
SHIMMER Women Athletes returns to the Berwyn Eagles Club, 6309 26th Street,
Berwyn, IL 60402 on Saturday & Sunday, April 10th & 11th, 2010 for another huge
weekend of DVD tapings!
Volumes 29 & 30 of the SHIMMER DVD series will be filmed on Saturday, April
10th. Bell time is 2pm. Doors open at 1pm.
Volumes 31 & 32 of the SHIMMER DVD series will be filmed on Sunday, April 11th.
Bell time is 1pm. Doors open at Noon.
Though front row seating to the Saturday, April 10th event is already sold out,
you still have the opportunity to secure front row tickets to the Sunday, April
11th taping, if you act fast.

11th one of two ways:

http://shimmerwomen.webs.com/apriltickets.html
Over 25 of the top women athletes from around the globe will be a part of the
festivities. Eighteen talents have been announced thus far for participation in
the April tapings...
1. (SHIMMER CHAMPION) MSCHIF - "Your Soul's Tormentor" MsChif captured the
SHIMMER Championship on April 26, 2008 by defeating Sara Del Rey in the main
event of Vol. 18. In the time since, she has been a marked woman, with all of
the competitors on the roster gunning for her title, and the chance to boast of
being the woman that put an end to the Reign of Torment. MsChif has successfully
defended the SHIMMER Championship not only in SHIMMER, but also on cards
promoted by Ring of Honor and Full Impact Pro. She has put away challengers Del
Rey, Jetta, Mercedes Martinez, Rain, Daizee Haze, Ariel, Serena Deeb, Wesna
Busic, LuFisto, Nikki Roxx, and became the first woman in SHIMMER history to pin
Amazing Kong. MsChif faces a very difficult challenge come April, as she
attempts to make it through four DVDs during the course of the weekend and walk
away with the SHIMMER Championship still around her waist. Can the Reign of
Torment make it to the two year mark, or will someone on the SHIMMER roster make
history by becoming the 3rd SHIMMER Champion?
2. (SHIMMER TAG TEAM CHAMPION) PORTIA PEREZ - Portia Perez returns to SHIMMER
competition during April, after being forced to miss the Vols. 27 & 28 tapings
due to being sidelined with the Swine Flu, or so she claimed. Allison Danger is
one of those who questioned the validity of Portia's illness, declaring that she
was simply ducking another fight with Danger, and was afraid to be a fighting
champion with her SHIMMER Tag Team Championship partner Nicole Matthews. In
Portia's absence, Nicole sent a message to Danger on Vol. 28 by cracking her in
the head with one of the title belts, on Perez's instructions. With the issue
between Portia and Allison still unresolved, as well as the SHIMMER Tag Team
Championship to be defended, Perez will be one frickin' busy ninja come April
10th & 11th.
3. (SHIMMER TAG TEAM CHAMPION) NICOLE MATTHEWS - Nicole Matthews is
unquestionably one of the top rising stars in women's professional wrestling
today. She has been able to not only achieve success in the tag team ranks by
becoming the 2nd SHIMMER Tag Team Champions as part of "The Canadian Ninjas"
with partner Portia Perez, but has simultaneously become a breakout star in
singles action as well. Nicole's series of matches against Daizee Haze displayed
her rapid development as a competitor, which then continued with a tough battle
against Cheerleader Melissa. Both of the Ninjas have the task of making it
through the April tapings as SHIMMER Tag Team Champions, while also maintaining
their respective positions in the singles picture.
4. CHEERLEADER MELISSA - Cheerleader Melissa is one of the rare few to have
participated in every SHIMMER event to date, and is, without a doubt, one of the
most skilled female wrestlers on the planet. Having achieved worldwide success
in this industry, Melissa continues to show her dedication to SHIMMER, and the
sport in general, by giving 110% every time she steps into the squared circle.
After concluding a several year long rivalry with Wesna Busic in a very physical
Knockout or Submission bout on Vol. 26, Melissa continued her winning ways at
SHIMMER's 4th Anniversary Celebration tapings. What is next on Melissa's agenda?
5. SARAH STOCK - "Dark Angel" Sarah Stock made an immediate impact in SHIMMER
upon her dramatic arrival in June of 2007. Stock was the International Wildcard
competitor in the SHIMMER Title Tournament, shocking many by defeating SHIMMER
main event stars Cheerleader Melissa and MsChif during her first and second
round bouts. Stock later fell to eventual tournament winner Sara Del Rey in the
third round, just seconds before the expiration of the 20 minute time limit.
Sarah had a memorable series of matches against Daizee Haze during subsequent
outings, a hard fought 2 out of 3 falls rematch against Del Rey, and a classic
rematch against Melissa. We're anxious to see "Dark Angel" back in the SHIMMER
ring on both of the 4/10 and 4/11 events. What is on Sarah's agenda in SHIMMER
during 2010? We're ready to find out.
6. AYAKO HAMADA - International superstar Ayako Hamada in many ways stole the
show back at the SHIMMER 4th Anniversary Celebration in November of 2009.
Hamada's SHIMMER debut contest against Mercedes Martinez displayed Ayako's
technical wrestling proficiency, going hold for hold and strike for strike
against one of SHIMMER's most skilled. The second competitor to sign for a match
against Hamada was Sara Del Rey, who perhaps got more than she bargained for
when she opted to introduce a steel chair into the contest, causing the referee
to throw the rulebook out the window and delcare the bout No DQ! Hamada and Del
Rey battled all over the Eagles Club using everything they could get their hands
on, and giving the fans in attendance what many of them called one of the
wildest matches in company history. After Ayako's second match at the "4th
Anniversary Celebration" in November, the Berwyn crowd chanted, "Please come
back!" They will get their wish on Sunday, 4/11, as Ayako Hamada will be back in
SHIMMER competition (she is unavailable for 4/10 due to a prior commitment).
Freelance star AYUMI KURIHARA, as well as S-Ovation Co. Ltd. talents HIROYO
MATSUMOTO, MISAKI OHATA, and TOMOKA NAKAGAWA will make their United States
debuts on events promoted by both SHIMMER and JAPW during the month of April
2010. All four women have been a part of S-Ovation's IBUKI events during recent
years, under the guidance of Mariko Yoshida. Additionally, they have also
competed on events promoted by companies such as NEO, OZ Academy, JWP, and
Sendai Girls' Pro-Wrestling.
7. AYUMI KURIHARA - Height: 5'5" Weight: 126 lbs. Hometown: Mitaka-shi, Tokyo,
Japan. Pro Debut: April 2005.
8. HIROYO MATSUMOTO - Height: 5'5" Weight: 154 lbs. Hometown: Hiratsuka City,
Kanagawa, Japan. Pro Debut: July 2006.
9. MISAKI OHATA - Height: 5'1" Weight: 119 lbs. Hometown: Sendai City, Miyagi,
Japan. Pro Debut: October 2006.
10. TOMOKA NAKAGAWA - Height: 5'1" Weight: 128 lbs. Hometown: Asahikawa,
Hokkaido, Japan. Pro Debut: January 2005.
11. MADISON EAGLES - Madison Eagles is one of the most skilled and impressive
additions to the SHIMMER roster within the past two years. After her initial
arrival during late 2008 along with tag team partner Jessie McKay as "The Pink
Ladies," Madison had two highly competitive singles outings during May of 2009
against Sara Del Rey and Mercedes Martinez. The matches were just a taste of
what this nine year veteran of the sport brings to the squared circle. Lance
Storm of www.StormWrestling.com wrote of the Madison Eagles vs. Sara Del Rey
contest from Vol. 23 in an October 2009 web site commentary. Storm wrote, "The
best match I’ve seen on the DVD, so far, featured Sara Del Rey and Madison
Eagles. I've met Sara a couple times doing ROH appearances so I’ve seen her
work, but Madison Eagles I’d never even heard of before. This match blew me
away. This match featured some of the best mat wrestling I've seen this side of
Bryan Danielson. These girls were AWESOME, these girls can WRESLE. I CAN NOT
praise this match or recommend this DVD enough." After being sidelined from
Vols. 25-28, Madison Eagles makes her much anticipated return to SHIMMER action
on April 10th & 11th in Berwyn!
12. JESSIE MCKAY - One of the newer SHIMMER athletes who really started to come
into her own during 2009 is Jessie McKay. Unquestionably, Jessie's breakout
singles bout was her Vol. 25 match against Cheerleader Melissa, which caught the
attention of everyone in attendance as she held her own against a main event
level star in one-on-one competition, and nearly School Girl Crushed Melissa's
head into the front row. McKay had another strong outing against Sara Del Rey on
Vol. 27, displaying her rapid progression as a professional wrestler.
"Everybody's Favorite Girlfriend" is determined to continue her climb up the
SHIMMER ranks on April 10th & 11th.
13. SARA DEL REY - Former SHIMMER Champion Sara Del Rey was part of one of the
most memorable matches in SHIMMER history at the "4th Anniversary Celebration"
tapings against Ayako Hamada. Death Rey displayed during the course of that
match just what she is capable of against one of the best world traveled stars
to come out of Japan. Sara has yet to face any of the four additional joshi
athletes who will be a part of the April SHIMMER events. Could she be looking to
put her skills to the test against any of these rising stars from Japan?
14. ALLISON DANGER - Allison Danger, who recently celebrated the first birthday
of her daughter Kendall, is still in search of a measure of revenge against the
individual who threatened her well being and that of her child just over a year
ago, Portia Perez. With Perez absent from the "4th Anniversary Celebration"
tapings with a suspect "H1N1 doctor's note" excuse, Danger settled for doing
battle against Portia's tag team partner Nicole Matthews. Danger's night
concluded with Matthews smacking Danger in the head with one of the SHIMMER Tag
Team Championship belts. Matthews later declared that she did it at Portia's
request. With both Ninjas back in Berwyn on April 10th & 11th, Danger has the
opportunity to meet Perez face to face once again.
15. DAIZEE HAZE - SHIMMER trainer Daizee Haze returns to active competition as a
wrestler in SHIMMER action on April 10th & 11th, after serving in a
troubleshooting referee capacity at our last set of tapings due to injury. The
Haze has stated that she is hungry to get back into the mix against the top
stars SHIMMER has to offer, with a particular interest in the joshi side of the
locker room in April.
16. MERCEDES MARTINEZ - "The Latina Sensation" Mercedes Martinez is one of the
women who truly put SHIMMER on the map during 2005 with her series of matches
against Sara Del Rey. She has since gone on to have tremendous bouts against the
likes of Cheerleader Melissa, MsChif, Amazing Kong, Serena Deeb, and Ayako
Hamada, showing why she is considered one of the top female athletes worldwide.
Though Mercedes has had opportunites at the SHIMMER Championship in the past,
she has yet to achieve her goal of becoming the #1 woman in SHIMMER competition.
Could April be Mercedes' time to capture the gold? She must position herself for
another title shot first in order to do so.
17. KELLIE SKATER - Bacchus Marsh, Australia's "Rate Tank" Kellie Skater made
her arrival in SHIMMER during 2009 and immediately took the microphone and
proclaimed to everyone who would listen that she is indestructible. Despite her
relatively small frame in comparison to some of the more powerful athletes on
the SHIMMER roster, Skater's warped frame of mind has earned her some very tough
opponents thus far during her SHIMMER tenure, including LuFisto and Cheerleader
Melissa. Come April 10th & 11th, The Rate Tank looks to add more wins to her
SHIMMER record, amdist an ever-growing roster of talent from around the globe.
18. JAMILIA CRAFT - "Jumping" Jamilia Craft is the youngest graduate of the
SHIMMER Wrestling Academy. Under the instruction of SHIMMER trainer Daizee Haze,
Jamilia has been training regularly alongside the men at the Ring of Honor
facility in Bristol, PA to prepare herself for active competition. Craft put in
a strong showing during a recent non-title bout against SHIMMER Champion MsChif
at the debut event for Pro Wrestling RESPECT in Burlington, NJ. On April 10th &
11th, Jamilia's hard work and dedication pays off, as she officially becomes a
part of the SHIMMER roster.
Front row seating to Saturday, April 10th is already SOLD OUT.
Front row seating to Sunday, April 11th is STILL AVAILABLE. Just five front row
seats to the April 11th taping remain.
General admission seating to both April 10th and 11th is also currently
