The Shimmer Volume 57 Wrap Up (Speca, Speca, Speca, Speca, Speca) Spectacular

YOU COME AND GOOOOOOOO. YOU COME AND GOOOOoooooooOOOOO. Yes, boys and girls, we've come to the end our Shimmer wrap up. We've loved and laughed together as we explored the depths of a live Shimmer weekend, and we certainly hope that you've enjoyed taking this journey with us. Tonight we'll say some fond farewells, cheer for some climactic victories, and enjoy one last show before Shimmer hangs up the ropes until October. So read on, and have a blanket, a heating pad and plenty of water on hand, because you're about to go into Shimmer withdrawals.

HOW CAN I LIVE WITHOUT YUU? I WANT TO KNOW.

But before they can leave us, first they will put on one last show. Can it live up to the three before it? Will the events of this show change Shimmer forever?

The Shimmer Volume 56 Wrap Up (Super) Spectacular

Welcome to a beautiful Saturday night in scenic Jetpackistan. We hope you're enjoying your day as much as we are as we stare out from our Cewsh Reviews castle built out of a mountain in the shape of Hiroshi Tanahashi's face. But if you aren't then we're here to change all that nonsense around, as we bring you the third installment in our series recapping our live attendance of the Shimmer tapings, (Volumes 54-57). One week ago we were deeply embroiled in the kind of magical world that you can only find in a ballroom in Berwyn, Illinois.

The Original Site For Disneyland.

When we last left you, Cheerleader Melissa was still reigning supreme as Shimmer champion, Jessicka Havok and Serena Deeb were deeply entrenched in a war, and the Global Green Gangsters were hot in pursuit of those dastardly Canadian Ninjas. All of these things will see a dramatic new chapter in the last two volumes of our recap, but first let's focus on Volume 56, the first show of the Sunday tapings. I would say that it is the greatest thing that has ever happened in the history of the world, but that would make it really hard to convince you to come back for Volume 4, so just read on already!

The Shimmer Volume 55 Wrap Up (Even More) Spectacular

Evening, cats and kittens, and welcome back for another episode of SHIM WORLD. When we last left you, intrigue had begun to abound about what the rest of the Shimmer weekend would hold. After she was left lying once again by the underhanded tricks of Jessicka Havok and her minions, will Serena Deeb be able to summon the fire necessary to ward off this giant outsider? Or would she be the first of many conquests on Havoks road to Shimmer dominance. DUN DUN DUN! The Global Green gangsters have worked their way into the tag team title scene, only to come against the champions, who know every trick in the book. Will Skater and Nakagawa be able to channel their own heelish demons to overcome one of the greatest tag team obstacles the wrestling world? Or will yet another babyface dream die to the tune of Funky Cold Medina? DUN DUN DUN! And as she rides a wave of momentum that could make or break her career, will Courtney Rush capitalize on her number one contendership victory and unseat the reigning queen of independent wrestling? Or will she just wind up as just one more smear on the curb? DUN DUN DUN AGAIN!

Just Imagine This Small Child Is Courtney Rush.

It's Shimmer weekend part two, boys and girls. And it's about to get ROWDY.

The Shimmer Volume 54 Wrap Up Spectacular

Good afternoon, boys and girls. You may not be aware of this, but this past weekend one of the most hotly anticipated indie wrestling events of the year took place, as the finest women's wrestlers from all over the world converged on Berwyn, IL for the Spring Shimmer tapings. If you've never seen Shimmer before and have no idea what I'm talking about, Shimmer is the biggest all female promotion in the United States and has become one of the most important hubs of international wrestling in the country. Competitors from Japan, Australia, New Zealand, England, Ireland, and Canada came to meet America's best that you might be familiar with from promotions like WWE, TNA, ROH, CZW and pretty much everywhere else that people kick each other in the face.

In Japan, Face Kicking Is How Women Say Hello.

So yeah, Shimmer is pretty much completely awesome, and since there are only two Shimmer events a year, (they tape 4 shows at each one,) it's a pretty significant event. So since Mrs. Cewsh, DDT and I were at the shows, just like we are pretty much every single time, we're bringing you a snazzy report on what the women of Shimmer got up to over the weekend. This is the first of four recaps you'll be getting this week, going from today to Sunday, documenting the events of each show and letting you in on the worst kept secret in independent wrestling.

Spoiler Alert: IT'S FUCKING FANTASTIC.

Shimmer Volume 33

Mrs.Cewsh: Oh ducklings, we're home! We're back to that magic land of good wrestling, compelling storylines, and pictures of the wrestlers that won't get us TOSed. We're back for another Shimmer show, dears, and it's going to be awesome. Why is this show awesome? Because we're on it! Sort of.

Volume 33 marks the first of the four tapings that Cewsh and I went to back in September. You may recall that we were very high on the experience and the resulting matches. Let's see if they translated well to a taped product, shall we? (And in case you actually did want to play spot the Cewshes, I'm the brunette with glasses and the neon blue Ninjas shirt in the back left from hard camera. Cewsh would be the one making funny faces next to me.)

The Shimmer landscape was turned upside down on the taping before this, as Madison Eagles ended MsChif's almost two year reign to become the third ever Shimmer Champion. Even worse, MsChif suffered a shoulder injury warming up and had to miss her first ever Shimmer shows. What will this do to the main event landscape? Will the shows cease to exist without the Chif? I know, you should find out.

So, without further ado, let's do a motherfucking review!

Cewsh and Vice are both joining us, have no fear, I'll just be your driver. Which is scary, because I never did get my license.

So without further ado, let's do a goddamn review!
