Melissa responded with a slap of her own, followed by both women hugging each other as the fans gave them a standing ovation. Melissa took the microphone and thanked the fans, and then declared that she is now focused on avenging her unfair loss to Madison Eagles from Volume 30, and is coming after the SHIMMER Championship. Madson's music hit, and she and Melissa had an intense staredown in the center of the ring to close the show.

All of us at SHIMMER would like to extend a big thanks to all of the fans who bought tickets and attended the Vols. 29-32 tapings live this past weekend. These were the two biggest gates in our over four year company history, and the enthusiastic, appreciative crowd made for the ideal setting to welcome our visiting stars from Japan. Without the support of our live ticket buying audience, SHIMMER does not exist.

Also, a huge thank you to the S-Ovation office as well as Ayumi Kurihara, Hiroyo Matsumoto, Misaki Ohata, and Tomoka Nakagawa for helping to make this past weekend one of the most unique and memorable set of tapings we've ever done. They went above and beyond our expectations, and we are proud to have them as a part of the SHIMMER family.

Congratulations to new SHIMMER Champion Madison Eagles. Despite suffering a ruptured eardrum early in the weekend, Madison toughed it out and delivered inside the ring during three matches over the course of the tapings.

Photographers Gilda Pasquil and Walter Lippmann were in attendance to capture the weekend on film. Look for their photos to appear online during the coming weeks. Additionally, photographers from Pro Wrestling Illustrated (George Tahinos) and Japan's Weekly Pro Wrestling were there to cover the events.

We hope everyone had a good time at the shows!

Below are some of the cell phone photos from the SHIMMER Twitter at www.twitter.com/shimmerwomen/ throughout the weekend.

Sorry I missed it. To anybody who was there: What was the best of the 4 volumes/shows taped?
	A part of me died when kayfabe died. Kayfabe was treated with reverence. It was a privilege to be smart. It was a privilege to be involved in this business. It’s not because you had $1200 and could go online and buy a pair of f'n boots, and now you’re a f'n pro wrestler. --Ed Chuman.

I was only able to attend the tapings for Volumes 31 and 32, so I'd love to hear what those of you who were able to take in the whole weekend thought was the best volume live.

I'm not able to go in depth on what I thought of Sunday's show right now but do hope to post more later when time permits. For now, here are a few things that stood out to me.

Wow on Ayako Hamada and Cheerleader Melissa's match. There was emotion, intensity and just an all-around sight to see.

Also, I wasn't the only one bummed to see MsChif drop the belt. But it did give us the opportunity to see the former Scream Queens face off. Could there be a continuing feud between Daffney and MsChif, or did MsChif close the chapter on that book with her win?

The Japanese joshi was great to see. I loved how energetic and skilled the fabulous four were. Seeing what they could do in the ring only enhanced what Shimmer brings to the mat, and it made me want to seek out more Japanese women's wrestling.

Speaking of skill and heart, Mercedes Martinez is always so gracious and works so hard in the ring. She should be named one of the MVPs of this past weekend.

Also, I know it's after the fact, but I wanted to mention that SHIMMER's Dave Prazak discussed the promotion's DVD tapings prior to the 4/10 and 4/11 live events in Berwyn on my "Elaborating on Entertainment" blog.

You can check out the topic "Pro Wrestling Extra: A conversation w/Shimmer's Dave Prazak," which is a companion article to my pro wrestling column from 4/08 (which features an online photo gallery with several shots from Gilda Pasquil) at:

Feel free to pass along the link to others who you think might want to share their comments about this topic, especially since the SHIMMER tapings are likely still fresh in people's minds and also because the DVDs are yet to be released.

A few notes about using the "Leave a comment" feature on the blog:

-- While there is a field asking you to provide your e-mail address, that e-mail address will not be shown to the public once your comment is posted.

-- The grey Captcha box sometimes trips up people because it's hard to see and very particular about the characters being typed in exactly. To be on the safe side, you should copy your text elsewhere before hitting the Submit button in case the Captcha kicks out your comment.

-- If you've used the "Leave a comment" feature correctly, you'll get a message saying that your submission is pending approval. Note: I approve all non-spam comments as soon as I see they have been submitted.
