It's pretty mediocre. The main event Briscoes/AOTF tag is worth a watch, as is the #1 contenders match prior to it, but I wouldn't pay full price for the DVD (if that's saying anything). I got it for like $8 from Highpots.

Ok but nothing special.. The chair was a tad odd though



Shimmer - Volume 26

~ First Full Shimmer Show for Me..

1. Jetta vs Daffney
**1/4
Firstly since Jetta was in ROH in like 06 in the UK has she lost a few kilos? Second damn Lacey looks great. Shes retired yes?

2. Rayna Von Tash vs Daizee Haze
*3/4

3. Four Corner Survival
Melanie Cruz vs Kellie Skater vs Jennifer Blake vs Jessie McKay
**3/4
Fantastic to see the aussie girls getting regular bookings with Shimmer

4. Lexie Fyfe & Malia Hosaka vs Nikki Roxx & Ariel
*1/2
Awful

5. Rain vs Tenille
*3/4
Even though Tenilles aussie, i can't look past the fact that shes awful in-ring

6. Sara Del Rey & Amazing Kong vs Mercedes Martinez & Serena Deeb
**1/2
It was almost a really long squash... needed to be more competitive IMO

7. Knockout or Submission Only
Wesna Busic vs Cheerleader Melissa
***1/2
Good but the finish was sorta disappointing

8. Shimmer Tag Team Titles Match
Ashley Lane & Nevaeh vs Portia Perez & Nicole Matthews
**3/4
Love the Ninjas theme music...and as usual Ashley looks great...

9. Shimmer Title Match
MsChif vs LuFisto
***
Is there a reason there's suddenly no commentary for this match?

Basically for some reason I didn't appear on the DVD when it went through the replication process and it was going to be too expensive to have a whole new run of DVDs produced so instead they released it without and put the version with on the next DVD as a bonus.

It was incredibly disappointing. Strong also seemed a little sloppy during it.

While I'd put Hero/Kingston over everything from FB07, I thought as a whole the card was alot better then 09. I always felt that from Davey/Marufuji onwards, 2007 was a damn enjoyable show.

The tables match from 2007 might be the worst Final Battle match ever though

[jawbreaker]

The FWH from FB 04 disagrees with you.

[seancarleton77]

The Manhattan show and Evolve 3 look pretty good, especially ROH's show!

[Meteora2004]

Wow, I didn't realize there were people that HATED it. Maybe it helps that I was live for the Rising Above/FB07 doubleshot and the latter flowed and was paced so much better (aside from the tables match like Benjo said), but even watching it back on DVD I still enjoy it just as much, and I still think Davey/Marufuji is one of the overlooked matches from that year.

Just got DDT4, Threemendous II,SHIMMER VOL 10 & SHIMMER 1-2 Collectors Edition from RF video. Hopefully there are no problems since it's my first time ordering from them.

... aside from this. That was pretty funny. Honestly not to be super negative or anything I don't think i've ever had a harder time getting through an ROH show, and I have Black Friday Fallout.

I can at least watch BFF's main event. I'd have to be paid to watch Suffocation again.
