I will subscribe to the SHIMMER service but Dave has pretty much already said that DVDs get precedence for new volumes, which solves 0% of the problem with the turnaround issue. That had been in Sal/WWN's hands for a while and it was floated that they would be losing that responsibility but I've seen nothing to demonstrate any improvement.

Kaitlyn had an interesting series of matches on Main Event/Superstars with Alicia, due to Alicia being very light and Kaitlyn being pretty strong. Overall there kinda was never any "there" there with her work.

Solo Darling has a shot at CHIKARA's Grand Championship next Saturday against Juan Francisco de Coronado. I think she's the first woman to compete for it since Kimber Lee held the title. https://twitter.com/SoloDarling/status/1019998575915360259

I feel like Neveah and Havok were supposed to be the ones to take the tag straps off Tessa and Kraven, but Tessa showed up and gave notice the taping before Neveah was healthy (thought she was getting signed?). Also, the Takeover stuff is legit. Granted, no one would know about it if salty talents weren't working overtime to bury her.

I hope Smash tries a little harder for CanUSA this year. Last year's lineup sucked rear end. Also, I can confirm Kris Wolf is about the coolest person in wrestling. Legit no one has a bad thing to say about her. Cory Lidle fucked around with this message at 04:05 on Aug 11, 2018 |

They're not even using the streaming service to bypass WWN's glacial DVD production, so it's really just a way to watch the back catalogue without having to buy DVDs a la carte.

SHIMMER joining the Powerbomb.TV team would be a better idea, IMO. PBTV is going to be a big player in the Big Fight and WWN is going to be complicit or a non factor.

I don't mind Trish and Nikki, but I refuse to act like Brie, Maryse and Melina were ever any good and did anything but contribute to why women's wresting in America has to dig out of the damage WWE did.

Rayne was the least noticeable part of the Beautiful People because she could actually wrestle and wasn't some reject Hooters waitress that had to press her entire rear end in a top hat on a camera lens to get any reaction.

WoW is basically in the genre of GLOW or Wrestlicious. They are bringing in more workrate names but it's campy, weird poo poo that was better left in the past. Anyone booking Amber O'Neal in 2018 is highly suspect.

Can't help but wonder how much easier the recovery would've been if she hadn't tried to work through it. Coincidentally enough, one of the times HHH blew his knee/quad out, the doctor told him that essentially a grenade went off inside his leg and asked HHH what he was thinking trying to grind through it. HHH just kinda shrugged sheepishly.

I look at Toni being where she is (at the age she is) and see the star she can become given she stays healthy and keeps a head about her. You can learn how to wrestle, you can't truly learn charisma. But I get that not everyone can look at a person and see 10 years down the line. I have a similar issue with Rachael Ellering. Some people can already see where she'll be, I see a greenhorn with good physical skills but it doesn't always translate. Raw power is cool, but Jordynne Grace has about as much power and exists skillwise is in 2018.

A 73 minute Alisha Edwards match has to have been a sleeper. Glad we're getting all of the "doing it to say it's been done" stuff out of the way now for the ladies.

I don't think Danger is that actively involved either. Despite the nominal split between RISE and SHIMMER, I'm still seeing a lot of Kevin. Also, Mercedes is really running roughshod over the back. I see a product removed from fun and I hope something happens where they can recapture that.

TheHock posted:My favorite Ray story is her always showing up to the SHIMMER after parties still wearing her mask (Leon as well) and laying into Pink Flash Kira who wasn't wearing hers. The next night, Kira was wearing her mask to a bar in Berwyn. It was ridiculous, but I always had a lot of love for her demanding that level of respect for wrestling traditions.

I feel like there might be a parallel to be drawn from the obstacles of learning English to creating a formula that works within "WWE style." There are rules that contradict other rules, it borrows from enough different sources that the actual nucleus is somewhat hard to pin down. You could sit and watch an HBK TV match and pretty much call the whole thing 5-10 seconds in advance, but it worked and was effective. Plenty of fairly talented people try to put together something they can build on and it doesn't really get them anywhere, while people like Carmella scrape along not being especially good at the wrestling part or the entertainment part. It's weird, it's frustrating but it certainly is fascinating.

They flew in Kris Wolf for a PPV and only had her on their lovely YouTube gimmick, so I'm not really sure why we're supposed to give ROH the benefit of the doubt on really anything. As far a relevant women's promotions go, SHIMMER is bringing in Penelope Ford and a bunch of Sendai girls for their pre-Mania tapings.

Sounds like she's doing RISE/SHIMMER weekend for sure, so that might be an option if anyone is trying to catch her before it's too late.

SHIMMER's had a backlog of people that were just stuck in prelim hell for various reasons, so they are in good shape once the Signing Shock settles. Sam Heights, Shotzi, Solo Darling and Doom are over as heck. AK47 can get bumped up easily to a more prominent place on the card. Jessica Troy is super good, Hyan is good, Zoe Lucas has a super high ceiling, AQA has potential, Penelope Ford can slot in to whatever role they need. I think Harlow is solid and they didn't even use her for the main show. The Vape Girl with the buzzcut from RISE intrigues me.
