MsCHIF HEALTH UPDATE; ROH ROAD REPORT
-------------------------------------------------------------------

SHIMMER Champion "Your Soul's Tormentor" MsChif was hospitalized from Friday
through Tuesday evening with a leg infection, causing her to be unable to
compete on the Ring of Honor events this past Friday in St. Louis and Saturday
in Nashville. MsChif is expected to be out of the ring for the next few weeks as
she makes her full recovery. You can post your well wishes for the champ at her
forum...

http://www.mschif.net/forums/

Though the scheduled SHIMMER Title Match between MsChif and Daizee Haze in St.
Louis was cancelled, the SHIMMER women were in action in Nashville as part of a
Four Corner Survival contest pitting Daizee vs. Sara Del Rey vs. Ashley Lane vs.
Serena Deeb. In the closing moments of the contest, Serena went for the spear on
Del Rey, but she was able to sidestep Serena, causing Ashley to take the spear
full force. Serena had the match won at that point, but Sara broke up the pin,
pitched Serena out of the ring, and followed up with the Royal Butterfly on the
weakened Lane for the pin. The match will appear on the ROH DVD release of the
event in the next several weeks.

GIVE YOUR OPINION FOR CONTENT OF NEXT ROSTER ALBUM!
-------------------------------------------------------------------

We're going to be doing another SHIMMER Roster Album in January, or at least
another high quality color cardstock album of some sort like the Roster Album we
released at the beginning of 2008.

We'd like some feedback on what you'd prefer the format of the next album to be.
Should we release a "3rd Anniversary Edition" of a full 2005-2008 Roster Album
featuring profiles on all 51 wrestlers who appeared from Vols. 1-22? If we did
that, we would update all of the photos to ones taken during 2008 (and with
former roster members, use different old photos than we did in last year's
edition, to make this new one completely different content than last year's).

An alternate idea would be to just do a photo book consisting of a mix of
ringside photos from our various photographers and some locker room posed shots
Gilda took as well.

Last year's was 8 album pages. I'm thinking this year we should do either 12 or
16 and just boost the per copy price a bit to reflect the additional costs
involved in getting a thicker album printed. If we go as high as 16 pages we
could do a complete 51 person roster, and then ALSO have some additional
ringside photo pages.

What format would you prefer to see?
