9/11
Volume 33:
SPARKLE (Pre-Show)
* Mia Yim and Taylor Made def. Mena Libra and Maya Svensson. Mia picks up the win via roundhouse kick. Good showing by all four girls, Mia and Mena in particular.
1. Jessica James & Rachel Summerlyn def. Athena & Bonesaw Jessie Brooks. Rachel and Jessica win with a gory bomb/stunner combo on Athena. Good match by all the girls. Athena was the standout. Her moveset and spoiled brat gimmick is very entertaining.
2. Cat Power def. Jamilia Craft. tCat Power wins via uranage slam. Very slow paced match-up. Not the best showing from either girl, but a decent match.
Amber interviews Jessie McKay but Madison Eagles interferes and takes over the interview. Amber announces Melissa vs Madison for the title. Madison says, “It’s all about ME!”
3. Allison Danger def. Leva Bates. Danger wins via shimmering warlock. After the match Danger puts over Leva and Veronika Vice tries to run in and attack her. Danger asks why she’s here and Veronika says she wants her shot against Danger and challenges her for the next volume.
4. Melanie Cruise def. Taylor Made. Cruise wins via Cruise Control. Melanie completely dominated Made in a total squash match.
Melissa appears on screen and calls out Eagles. Says she’s tired of getting screwed out of the title. Says she going home with gold tonight.
5. Misaki Ohata def. Ariel. Ohata wins by submission. Surpisingly good match. Best I’ve seen Ariel in a long time. Misaki pulled out several submissions during the match-up.
Kellie Skater comes out and challenges anyone in the locker room. Her challenge is answered by Serena!!!
6. Serena def. Kellie Skater. Serena via spear. Skater dominated after Serena misses a spear in the corner, but makes the comeback in the end. The crowd goes wild and chants ‘Welcome back!’ Serena celebrates with the fans and looks very emotional. Very touching moment.
7. Sara Del Rey def. Nevaeh. Del Rey wins via LaBell Lock. Shocker… but Neveah put up a good fight and almost got the win with a Sliced Bread #2.
Amber Gertner is in the ring and introduced Nikki Roxx (who looks great!). Nikki says she’s been in the company for years and wants to get some gold around her waist.
8. Jessie McKay def. Nicole Matthews. McKay via Boyfriend Stealer. Brutal match that spilled to ringside. Best match up so far. Didn’t know these two had it in them.
9. Daizee Haze vs Ayumi Kurihara in a rematch from Vol. 32. It’s announced that the match is no countout. DD’s Jennifer just got into it with Daizee. Epic. Daizee is getting some crazy heat! Kurihara via exploder suplex. Best match of the day so far! Jennifer has dropped about 80 F-bombs. A must see!
10. Ayako Hamada def. Tomoka Nakagawa with the Hamada Driver. Best match so far. Crowd very into both. Lots of hard hitting outside the ring action. Chairs and even water bottles were used in the offense.
11. Madison Eagles def. Cheerleader Melissa with the Hellbound finisher. As Melissa entered she said, “It’s Team Diva Dirt!” Lots of submissions and counters. Madison is very over as a heel champ.
Volume 34:
1. Kellie Skater def. Jamilia Craft with a running neck snap.
2. Melanie Cruise def. Leva Bates with a modified Cruise Control. Leva was dressed as Iron Man. She even had a mask.
3. Nikki Roxx def. Misaki Ohata with the Barbie Crusher.
4. Daffney def. Neveah with a cheap roll up. Short match. Daffney is very over.
5. Veronika Vice def. Allison Danger with a roll up whole holding the tights. Veronika, who escaped from a time capsule this weekend, impressed.
6. Tenille def. Daizee Haze in a very quick match after Daizee Haze seemed to suffer a neck injury.
Main event announced as Ayumi Kurihara vs Madison Eagles.
7. The Canadian Ninjas def. Rachel & Jessica’s Excellent Tag Team to retain the SHIMMER Tag Team Chmpionships. Good back and forth match. At one point we thought Portia as injured. Total fakeout. Ending came when Daffney distracted Rachel long enough for Nicole to roll her up.
Nakagawa vs Melissa next.
8. Melissa def. Tomoka Nakagawa with the kudo driver. At one point, on the outside, Melissa slammed Tomoka head first into the guardrail in front of DD’s Jennifer, Eric and Steven!
Next out is Serena who talks about how great it feels to be back. She puts over SHIMMER and the other girls. But out comes Portia… Portia confronts Serena about selling out for a paycheck. Fantastic exchange! Vol. 35 will see these two go at it. Cannot say how great this was!
Tenille comes back out for another match, this time against Athena. Great opportunity for Athena. This will probably replace Tenille vs Daizee which was taped earlier, as it seems Daizee was hurt.
9. Tenille def. Athena via submission. Athena deserves all the hype. This woman is insanely good even at this young age.
Next is a three-way match: Sara Del Rey v Jessie McKay v Hamada. One hell of a rematch! TNA is wasting Hamada, she’s funny and over as hell!
10. Jessie McKay def. Sara Del Rey & Hamada. Incredible three-way! McKay hits the Boyfriend Stealer on Del Rey for the win! There could be a title shot in McKay’s future after that win.
Main event of Kurihara vs Eagles for title next.
11. Madison Eagles def. Ayumi Kurihara to retain the SHIMMER Championship. Intense 15 minute match with several near falls! Madison retains just barely.

SHIMMER Volume 35

Summerlyn has really improved since the last tapings.

10. Madison Eagles def. Jessie McKay via Hell Bound. These two know each other inside and out and it shows. They had a counter for everything. Crowd starts chanting, ‘This is awesome’. Best match of volume and best match of McKay’s career. Great way to end the volume.
Volume 36:

Order of elimination: Nakagawa, Serena, Daizee, Ayumi, Del Rey. Melissa pinned Madison. Hamada & Melissa are sole survivors!

There was one other pre show match on Saturday: Jordan Macintyre d. Knight Wagner in comedy foolishness.
I was only there for Saturday, and Volume 33 ended up being better than 34, mostly due to crowd heat, but the fans were into everything. Basically everything on Volume 33 between Serena's return and the semi main with Hamada are as good of a series of wrestling matches you're going to see this year.
I hope 34 turns out better on tape than it did live, but the Del Ray/Hamada/McKay 3-way was the best match of the night.
Tenille worked twice because Daizee was hurt during their first match on 34 and that match was cut short quick.
SHIMMER fans are OK except for the fact they BOO PJ Drummond, which is totally unacceptable. That chick ref Carly is cute.
