No such thing as "really pregnant" imo.

You either are Awesome (on a Chris level), or you're not

Yeah, you get regular awesome, then Chris awesome, then.... well, then it's back down the scale.

I have never seen the GBH match, but I gave Driven CHRIS IS AWESOME, BUT ON THIS PARTICULAR NIGHT HE FAILED TO REACH HIS REGULAR LEVELS OF AWESOME, ONLY REACHING A LEVEL OF AWESOME THAT IS ONE STEP BELOW HIS USUAL LEVEL OF AWESOME, and then brought it down 1/4 to CHRIS IN IWA:MS CIRCA 2004.

I didn't like the ending to much.

Has everyone checked out the groovy wallpapers from the various Puroresufan.com pages ?

My Desktop is currently rocking the Kobashi paper from Green Destiny.

No I`m not dead. However, haven`t been watching much wrestling lately.

That said, downed this with my girlfriend in two sittings over the last week.

SHIMMER vol. 12

Alicia vs. Josie - *

Meh. They were competent at the best of times, and it wasn`t terrible. They got lost easily though. Fortunately it was short enough to work around that.

Daizee Haze vs. Lacey - ***1/2

These two brought a bunch of hate and intensity to the table, which is good because it sort of covered for the lack of a driving story otherwise. It was basically a spotfest with some basic structure and a lot of hatred thrown in. That said, it was enough to be a really fun watch and well worth your time.

Sara Del Rey vs. Sarah Stock - ****

Amazingly well worked match, with Stock taking Del Rey to the limit and them working closely right down to the wire with the time limit only moments away. One thing I found interesting was that Stock could frustrate Del Rey, but didn't really seem to do any real damage until close to the end, which makes perfect sense given how the final stretch goes. Must watch here.

Cindy Rogers vs Allison Danger - Street Fight - ***

Again, there was a lot of hate here and I loved that Rogers used her technical basis within a street fight environment. I just felt it got kind of monotonous at times and sort of lost the intensity here and there. Also, the finish was dead on booking-wise, but looked terrible.

Nikki Roxx vs. Portia Perez vs. Eden Black vs. Ariel - **

I liked it. It was fun and there was a decent story in the middle with Perez ducking Roxx. However, the way the finishing sequence played out rendered most of that moot, leaving it feeling average more than anything.

Rain vs. Serena Deeb - *

Frustrating, because Deeb is very much capable and Rain was just fucking things up left and right. Basic things. Rain's fine as a tag wrestler, but dear god keep her out of singles.

Cheerleader Melissa/MsChif vs. The Experience - ***3/4

Super fun tag match. A lot of basic formula stuff but very well played with the Experience being bitchy heels and the faces just pushing through it all to FINALLY put them down for the first time in SHIMMER. This felt like it should have been for tag titles.

SHIMMER Title - Sara Del Rey vs. Lacey - ****1/4

Lacey dominated Del Rey through sheer viciousness, picking her apart at times and just unloading on her head at others. They did a great job building up suspense and making you doubt that maked favourite Del Rey would pull out the win. The finish was really well done and paid the match of brilliantly, leaving a great final visual to the show. Best match of the night, as it should be.
