ROH SELLS OUT OF VOLUME 7 DVDS!
------------------------------------------------------

On Monday afternoon, ROH sold its last remaining copies of SHIMMER
Volume 7. The only way to get your hands on copies of Volume 7 at
this point are to purchase the remaining copies available from
Highspots or directly from Allison Danger. She only has 6 copies
left. You can PM her on The SHIMMER Forum at username "danger" if
you're interested in buying one of them from her.

We do plan on releasing a retail edition of Volume 7 through Big
Vision Entertainment sometime during the winter, but until then, it's
sold out.

We can't stress it enough... if you want the first edition versions
of the SHIMMER DVDs, be sure to get them while they're still
available!



FULL RESULTS FROM 7/5 TAPING!
------------------------------------------------------

In case you missed 'em, here are the full official results.

SHIMMER - WOMEN ATHLETES returned to the Eagles Club in Berwyn, IL on
Saturday, July 5, 2008. Volumes 19 and 20 of the SHIMMER DVD series
were filmed during the course of the taping.

The first half of the taping consisted of matches which will comprise
SHIMMER Volume 19.

1. The opening contest was the first ever twenty-one woman SHIMMER
battle royal, with each participant drawing a number and entering the
match at 30 second intervals. Once a wrestler was thrown over the top
rope and both feet touched the floor, they were eliminated. The
winner received a shot at the SHIMMER Championship against MsChif in
the Volume 19 main event.

The order of entry was:

1- PORTIA PEREZ
2- SERENA DEEB
3- JENNIFER BLAKE
4- NICOLE MATTHEWS
5- SHARK GIRL
6- CAT POWER
7- JETTA
8- LUFISTO
9- VERONIKA VICE
10- ARIEL
11- RAIN
12- LORELEI LEE
13- CHEERLEADER MELISSA
14- NEVAEH
15- SARA DEL REY
16- ALLISON DANGER
17- DANYAH
18- ASHLEY LANE
19- AMAZING KONG
20- MERCEDES MARTINEZ
21- NIKKI ROXX

The closing moments of the match saw JETTA, SARA DEL REY, NIKKI ROXX,
MERCEDES MARTINEZ, and ARIEL remaining. Del Rey eliminated Roxx, and
then also tossed out Martinez. Ariel quickly came up on Del Rey from
behind and dumped her out, leaving the final two wrestlers as Ariel
and Jetta. Jetta got the advantage and placed Ariel on the top
turnbuckle, at which time a bitter Del Rey (from the floor) pulled
Ariel off the top rope and down to the floor, which caused Ariel to
be eliminated and Jetta to be announced as the winner of the battle
royal and the title shot. Del Rey immediately whipped Ariel into the
steel barricade and brutally attacked her. Sara kept shouting that
Ariel cost her the opportunity to regain "my belt" and took out her
frustrations on her until referees were able to force Del Rey back to
the locker room.

REBECCA BAYLESS interviewed DAIZEE HAZE in the ring. Daizee explained
how she suffered a rib injury during training this past week, and for
the first time she would have to watch a SHIMMER taping from the
sidelines. Haze vowed to return on Volume 21, and said at that time
she would be coming after the SHIMMER Championship.

2. PORTIA PEREZ defeated SHARK GIRL with her feet on the ropes for
leverage. During the course of the bout, Perez successfully countered
two bodyslam attempts.

3. SERENA DEEB defeated DANYAH with a spear.

4. ASHLEY LANE & NEVAEH defeated CAT POWER & VERONIKA VICE with their
double team STO/Yakuza kick combo.

5. AMAZING KONG defeated LORELEI LEE with a spinning backfist that
knocked Lee's jaw out of place.

6. NIKKI ROXX defeated NICOLE MATTHEWS with the Barbie Crusher.

7. ALLISON DANGER defeated "Girl Dynamite" JENNIFER BLAKE with a
rollup. After the match, Danger praised Blake on the microphone
saying that it's great to see rising Canadian stars such as her
entering SHIMMER competition. This brought out "The Canadian NINJAS"
PORTIA PEREZ & NICOLE MATTHEWS who declared themselves the best
frickin' Canadian wrestlers in SHIMMER. Perez called Danger a "Diet
Canadian" and challenged her and Blake to a tag team match on Volume
20.

8. LUFISTO defeated RAIN of the "International Home Wrecking Crew"
with a burning hammer.

9. SARA DEL REY defeated ARIEL with the Royal Butterfly.

10. "The Latina Sensation" MERCEDES MARTINEZ defeated CHEERLEADER
MELISSA with a fisherman buster in roughly 20 minutes of back and
forth action.

11. SHIMMER Champion MsCHIF defeated JETTA of the "International Home
Wrecking Crew" following the Desecrator to retain the title.

The second half of the taping consisted of matches which will
comprise SHIMMER Volume 20.

12. SHARK GIRL defeated VERONIKA VICE following a stunner.

Prior to the next match, PORTIA PEREZ announced that she is the
master of avoiding the bodyslam. ALLISON DANGER responded by vowing
to slam Perez within the first minute of the match. Perez declared
that she's so confident in her claim that she will put up $1,000 CAD
if Danger can do it. As the match began and the clock began to tick
away, Perez was successful in backing up her claim. She did not fall
victim to the bodyslam.

13. "The Canadian NINJAS" PORTIA PEREZ & NICOLE MATTHEWS defeated
ALLISON DANGER & "Girl Dynamite" JENNIFER BLAKE when Perez forced
Danger to tap out to a Fujiwara armbar after Danger re-aggrivated her
collarbone injury. Post-match, Perez intentionally did further damage
by giving Danger a vicious divorce court. On her way to the locker
room Perez boasted of being the one to put Danger back on the
disabled list.

14. AMAZING KONG defeated DANYAH with a sitout powerbomb.

15. CAT POWER defeated DAFFNEY via submission with a figure four
leglock. Power targeted Daffney's bad knee for the duration of the
match.

16. "The International Home Wrecking Crew" RAIN & JETTA defeated
ASHLEY LANE & NEVAEH when Rain pinned Nevaeh with a handful of tights.

17. ARIEL defeated NIKKI ROXX with a wheelbarrow rollup. Roxx raised
Ariel's hand after the match in acknowledgement of a hard fought
victory.

18. SARA DEL REY defeated SERENA DEEB via submission with a leglock.

19. CHEERLEADER MELISSA defeated LUFISTO with the Kudoh Driver in an
explosive, hard hitting contest that earned a standing ovation from
the fans in attendance.

20. SHIMMER Champion MsCHIF defeated "The Latina Sensation" MERCEDES
MARTINEZ following the Desecrator to retain the title. The match was
a very brutal, very even contest.

Everyone at SHIMMER would like to thank all of the fans who attended
the live taping in Berwyn for our third consecutive sellout at the
Eagles Club! Despite it being a holiday weekend, your dedicated
support of our athletes was in full force and we greatly appreciate
it.

Photographers Gilda Pasquil, Walter Lippmann, Buddy LaMantia, and
Ricky Havlik were in attendance to capture the taping on film. Look
for their photos to be available online shortly.
