ARE WE IN THE GOLDEN AGE OF WOMEN'S WRESTLING?
-----------------------------------------------

This is a question posed in a new thread at The SHIMMER Forum.

With women's wrestling becoming more and more popular with the rise
of promotions like SHIMMER and ChickFight, as well as the success of
the TNA Knockouts division, do you feel we are in the midst of
a "Golden Age" of women's wrestling?

UPDATE FOR 6/18 ON FIRST EDITION SHIMMER DVD COPIES
-----------------------------------------------

Here is an update concerning first edition copies of titles in the
SHIMMER DVD series.

ROH has now sold out of all first edition copies of Volumes 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, and 6. They still have Vols. 1-6 available in the form of the
retail versions produced by Big Vision Entertainment, at a cost of
$9.95 each.

ROH is on the last case of first edition copies of Volume 7. This
particular title in the DVD series is expected to sell out prior to
the release of Volume 7 in retail form by Big Vision, so act fast if
you still need Volume 7 in your collection.

Other avenues you can explore to try to get your hands on first
edition copies of Vols. 1-6 are Highspots, or by PMing Allison Danger
on The SHIMMER Forum (her username is "danger") to see what she has
left from the batch she sells at shows that she appears on.
