OLD VIDEO OF DAIZEE VS. MSCHIF FROM 2002
-----------------------------------------------

Someone from the old GCW promotion in St. Louis has been posting old videos
online, and one of them is a match between Daizee Haze and MsChif from one of
their crazy "Adults Only" style shows. At the time the match took place, Daizee
had only been in wrestling for two months, and MsChif for less than a year.

SERENA DEEB SIGNS WITH WWE!
-----------------------------------------------

Everyone at SHIMMER - WOMEN ATHLETES would like to congratulate Serena Deeb on
officially signing a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment.

From the first day she stepped into a wrestling ring, it has always been
Serena's goal to earn a job with WWE. Serena moved from Virginia to Kentucky on
her own dime for the sole purpose of enrolling in the Ohio Valley Wrestling
training program several years ago, and she has been a mainstay in the OVW
women's division ever since.

Serena debuted for SHIMMER on May 21, 2006 as a last minute substitution when an
opening on the lineup created an opportunity. During the three years that
followed, Serena displayed tremendous drive, determination, and eagerness to
constantly learn. She has always tried to improve her game, be it in SHIMMER
competition, at OVW, or in her handful of appearances for Ring of Honor.

Despite OVW losing its status a WWE developmental territory last year, Serena
remained focused on achieving her goal of impressing WWE officials enough to be
given a chance. All of Serena's hard work has now paid off, as she will soon be
relocating to Florida to start with WWE developmental territory Florida
Championship Wrestling.

Personally speaking, I feel that Serena Deeb is one of the top three female
babyface talents in North America today. She's got unbelievable fire, and can
project emotion better than most wrestlers of a similar age and experience
level. These are essential attributes to go along with the sound athletic
wrestling fundamentals which she also possesses. She's a complete package, and
is perfect for television.

Serena's training at OVW not only prepared her quite well for professional
wrestling in general, but also specifically for the style of wrestling which WWE
is looking for. Serena's continued instruction at FCW will only sharpen her
existing skills, in preparation for the next stage of her career.

The three match series between Serena and Sara Del Rey were truly breakout
performances for her as a wrestler. I feel those matches excellently displayed
Serena's unbelievable potential to become a star in this industry. In her
outings several weeks ago at the SHIMMER Vols. 23-26 tapings in Chicago, Serena
continued to show that she absolutely deserved the spot at the top of the card
that she had worked her way into.

I'd like to thank Serena Deeb for all of her contributions to SHIMMER during the
past three years. From all of the memorable matches, to sacrificing her car on
the drive up for the SHIMMER Title Tournament weekend, Serena gave so much to
our product. Though we'll greatly miss her at future tapings, Serena has now
been given the chance of a lifetime-- to work her way to the top of her chosen
profession.

Good luck, Serena... and congrats!

Dave Prazak
