SHIMMER - WOMEN ATHLETES is proud to announce the addition of two of the top female competitors from Australia to next month's tapings! "Everybody's Favorite Girlfriend" Jessie McKay and "Rate Tank" Kellie Skater will be a part of the SHIMMER Volumes 37-40 tapings, which will take place on Saturday & Sunday, March 26th & 27th, 2011 at the Berwyn Eagles Club (6309 26th Street) in Berwyn, IL, just outside Chicago! Visit www.shimmerwrestling.com/ to secure your seats for the events right now. Our last set of tapings featured three truly breakout matches from "Everybody's Favorite Girlfriend." Jessie battled Nicole Matthews on Volume 33 in a rematch from a previous bout, and the end result was not only Jessie getting her hand raised in victory, but also one of the most talked about matches in either of their careers thus far. Volume 34 saw McKay battle both Sara Del Rey and Ayako Hamada in a Triple Threat Match, which also had the crowd in attendance at the Berwyn Eagles Club on the edges of their seats. Jessie then went on to participate in her first SHIMMER main event, against her trainer Madison Eagles. Several fans have commented that it was one of their favorite SHIMMER Championship bouts thus far in company history. Though still in the early stages of her career, Jessie McKay is rapidly becoming one of the hottest propsects in women's wrestling today. She looks to impress once again just a few weeks from now at SHIMMER. The self-professed "Indestructible One," who has "muscles so awesome they make The Incredible Hulk green with envy" is back in action next month as well. Though Kellie Skater has gained a bit of a reputation for biting off more than she can chew by throwing around open challenges left and right, the "Rate Tank" has also proven that she can back up her confident demeanor with her wrestling skills inside the squared circle. On Volume 33, Skater took on Serena Deeb in her return SHIMMER match, and had Serena on the receiving end of punishment for the majority of the contest. Kellie also went hold for hold with one of the top submission specialists in SHIMMER, Misaki Ohata, on Volume 36. Though Skater's cocky attitude may often get her in some trouble with the most physical opponents on the roster, she is out to prove that she truly is indestructible and a force to be taken seriously in the SHIMMER ranks. Jessie and Kellie join previously announced talents SHIMMER Champion Madison Eagles, SHIMMER Tag Team Champions The Canadian Ninjas, "Your Soul's Tormentor" MsChif, Cheerleader Melissa, Daizee Haze, "The Queen of Wrestling" Sara Del Rey, "The Latina Sensation" Mercedes Martinez, Serena Deeb, Saraya Knight, Britani Knight, Hiroyo Matsumoto, Misaki Ohata, Ayumi Kurihara, Tomoka Nakagawa, Nikki Roxx, Ariel, Allison Danger, "The Wrestling Goddess" Athena, Rachel Summerlyn, and Jessica James as those confirmed thus far for participation in the March 26th & 27th events. This brings the talent lineup to 23 total women athletes officially announced for the shows! Front row seating is already SOLD OUT for both days. General admission seating is still available at www.shimmerwrestling.com/ using PayPal. You may also purchase tickets by mail order. E-mail dave_prazak@yahoo.com for mail order instructions. Mark your calendars! SHIMMER is back at the Eagles Club in Berwyn on March 26th & 27th!

All these international stars coming in = multiple pick up trips to the airport.
You da man, DP.
Seriously, it amazes me WWE has all the money and prestige, but cannot or will not develop/sign a deep and talented rosted of female workers. This little indy can and does. It makes you wonder why WWE even bothers.
What would Mildred Burke and Moolah think?

SHIMMER - WOMEN ATHLETES is pleased to announce the continuation of our sponsorship agreement with 39TEN Lounge & Fabulous Freddies Italian Eatery, located at 3910 S. Harlem Avenue in Lyons, IL. 39TEN will be the location for post-show activities on both Saturday evening, March 26th and Sunday evening, March 27th, immediately following each day of SHIMMER DVD tapings. Obviously since everyone will need to get some rest in preparation for Sunday's taping, Saturday night will be more scaled back, with the "real" afterparty at the end of the weekend on Sunday. If you appreciate 39TEN's service and atmosphere for our afterparties, and would like to see 39TEN remain our afterparty location in the future, please give them your business after the show each night and grab dinner there. It is through giving them our business that they continue to sponsor our events. 39TEN is just 2.3 miles from the Berwyn Eagles Club. To get there from the venue, all you have to do is make a left on Ridgeland Ave, a right on Ogden Ave, and then a left on Harlem Ave, and 39TEN will be on your right. 39TEN is very close to several local motels, including the Presidential Inn (3922 S. Harlem Avenue in Lyons, IL), which is literally next door to 39TEN, for those who don't want to drive to a motel from the afterparty. It is only 2.1 miles from the Rodeway Inn in Lyons. 39TEN will be fully staffed for the post-SHIMMER festivities, with a full liquor bar, as well as food prepared by Fabulous Freddies Italian Eatery, which is attached to 39TEN. You can view their menu at www.freddieson31st.com/ (their main location is in Chicago). Come and party with the wrestlers and your fellow fans at 39TEN Lounge after SHIMMER! Here's a satellite shot of the 39TEN and Presidential Inn area, which gives a good look at the parking situation. The 39TEN lot isn't that big, but clearly the Xsport Fitness and Jewel-Osco lots are close by, and huge.

My pro wrestling column in 3/24's 52 Weekends magazine, will feature SHIMMER's Dave Prazak discussing the DVD tapings set for 3/26 and 3/27 in Berwyn along with a picture of Cheerleader Melissa taken by Gilda Pasquil. You can check out the online version of the article, which features a photo gallery and is already available, at: southtownstar.suntimes.com/entertainment/virtusio/4456651-452/women-show-off-skill-at-shimmer.htmlIf you haven't seen it yet, the 3/22 Elaborating on Entertainment blog topic titled "Pro Wrestling Extra: A conversation w/SHIMMER's Dave Prazak" features comments and videos about SHIMMER. You can check that out at: blogs.southtownstar.com/entertainment/2011/03/pro_wrestling_extra_a_conversa_31.htmlFeel free to pass along the link to others who you think might want to share their comments about this topic. 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.
