REMEMBERING "SENSATIONAL" SHERRI
----------------------------------------------------------
Like so many individuals in the wrestling industry who have called me over the past several hours, and countless wrestling fans around the world who have read the news online, I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of "Sensational" Sherri Martel today.
Sherri was the first star performer in pro wrestling that I actually met as a fan prior to getting involved in the business myself. I was introduced to Sherri through mutual friend Marianne Ryan backstage at a live event in Chicago at the Rosemont Horizon (now the Allstate Arena). I was a big fan of Sherri's work from just watching her do her thing on WWF television, and was quite excited to get to actually meet her in person.
Several years later, I would cross paths with Sherri once again, as Ian Rotten brought her in for some appearances in IWA Mid-South, including a bloody dog collar match against Debbie Combs back in the days when IWA ran the old K-Mart building in Louisville. I was just growing my hair long for the first time around that period of time, and, silly as it may sound, I still have the girly silver hair tie Sherri gave me that night in a drawer full of many of my wrestling mementos.
Sherri was the first "name" that I got the opportunity to feud with as a manager, and the first woman wrestler that I ever competed against in mixed tag matches. Both of those opportunities came through Carmine DeSpirito's Mid American Wrestling promotion in Milwaukee. As CM Punk, Jason Kronan, and I were laying out Dino and Bobby Bambino one night, Sherri hit the ring and pulled off my pants to reveal smiley faced boxer shorts to the cheering approval of the drunken fans in attendance at the Knights of Columbus in West Allis. We'd later to go on to wrestle in a big intergender six person tables, ladders, and chairs match, which saw us crazily battle atop ladders, and put one another through tables. We wrestled against one another about a year or so later, once again at an MAW show promoted by Carmine, this time held at Kelly's Bleachers in Wind Lake. Those matches were far from wrestling classics on my part, but they were nonetheless very fun times, and landmarks in my wrestling career which I look back upon quite fondly.
I always credit my increased interest in women's pro wrestling to having worked with so many women on the independent scene during my time as a manager, and feeling that they were under appreciated and under utilized. A huge part of what made me go back and watch more old American women's wrestling tapes and ultimately start promoting women's events myself was the influence Sherri had on me over the years.
Not many people know it, because it never came to fruition, but Sherri was the only woman wrestler who I ever offered, or even really considered, to perform in the role of the SHIMMER Commissioner. She had to turn the offer down in early 2006, due to a combination of her constant back problems at the time which required very limited travel (she had been seeing a chiropractor regularly and was in pain on a daily basis), and she was just about to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, and received a legends contract, which could have posed some issues with appearing on our DVD series in retail. The last time I spoke with Sherri I let her know that if she was ever up to it in the future, the SHIMMER Commissioner spot was hers, as I truly valued her contributions to pro wrestling over the years and felt she would be an excellent authority figure to "govern" the top women wrestlers that are active today. It's a shame that it never came to be.
Sherri was an unbelievable heel, both as a wrestler as well as in her role as a manager. I remember watching television on Saturday mornings growing up and seeing Sherri with her crazy facepaint cutting the most intense interviews. She was a true pro wrestling manager, willing to get physical when need be, and got great heat from the ringside fans, all thanks to her history as a wrestler.
Our event in Inverness on 7/1 will be dedicated to Sherri's memory, as her inspiration is a huge reason why the company exists in the first place. Thankfully, we have our old videotapes, as well as our memories over the years, to be reminded of Sherri's tremendous contributions to our sport. Thanks for the everything, Sherri! You will be greatly missed.
Dave Prazak
Never in my wildest dreams have I imagined that, after speaking of her in multiple interviews, I would be writing about her death. Make no mistake about it, Sherri Martel was a pioneer in women's wrestling. Women like Sherri paved the path in the wrestling that I walk along today with my fellow SHIMMER companions and with every female wrestler out there. I regret that I never, ever got the chance to thank Sherri in person for her contributions both to women's wrestling in general and to my personal career. She had no idea the influence she had on me. Sherri was so much an inspiration for my character in ROH and the Prophecy. Dan Maff used to call me "his Sherri" at ringside. To me, there was no bigger honor he could have bestowed on me. I dedicate that time to her. I just hope we make her proud as we continue building this path for future generations. Rest in peace Sherri.
Allison Danger
Waking up to the news that Sensational Sherri had passed away at the age of 49 was a strange moment. It wasn't long ago that I was sitting with my other half JP and MsChif at our flat in the UK, watching the Shawn Michaels vs 'The Model' Rick Martel match where she has stipulated that neither can hit the other in the face, and she 'faints' when they begin to do so - only to be drenched with water by Martel in an effort to 'revive' her. That was one of my favourite Summerslam matches, purely because of her work and managerial presence in it. This business seems to have a habit of taking people away far too young. Rest in peace Sherri - thank you for everything you have done for this business, but particularly, for us women.

THREE BIG MATCHES ANNOUNCED FOR INVERNESS!
----------------------------------------------------------
SHIMMER - WOMEN ATHLETES presents its first live event in the state of Florida on Sunday, July 1st, 2007, at the Citrus County Auditorium, located at 3610 S. Florida Ave (Highway 41) in Inverness, FL. Bell time is 6pm. Doors will open at 5pm. This event is part of the "Hot Summer Nights" tour promoted by SHIMMER and Full Impact Pro, featuring three consecutive nights of wrestling from Friday, 6/29 through Sunday, 7/1.
Tickets for the 7/1 SHIMMER event are just $10 for adults, and will be available at the door on the night of the event or can be purchased in advance right now using the PayPal buttons along the left side of www.shimmerwrestling.com. Kids 13 and under can get $5 tickets at the door on the night of the event. The show is suitable for all ages!
Fans in Florida will be able to see the renewal of two of the landmark matches in SHIMMER's short history thus far, as well as the continuation of the most intense rivalry currently in SHIMMER on 7/1 at the Citrus County Auditorium!
***SHIMMER Title Match/Rematch of Tournament Finals***
(Champion) "American Angel" SARA DEL REY vs. LACEY
Sara Del Rey was able to overcome the interference of Rain and everything that Lacey threw at her less than two weeks ago in Berwyn to become the first ever SHIMMER Champion. Lacey is out to keep Sara's title reign limited to one month, and has the opportunity to even the score in Inverness, with the belt on the line.
***Rematch from Volume 5***
AMAZING KONG vs. NIKKI ROXX
The Amazing Kong vs. Nikki Roxx bout from Volume 5 became one of the most talked about matches on the SHIMMER DVD series due to the brutal style of Kong mixed with the tremendous heart and determination of Roxx. After the match against Kong, Nikki became more determined than ever, and began a winning streak in SHIMMER competition, working her way up to the main event level in SHIMMER. Does Nikki now have what it takes to overcome the sheer size and power of the undefeated Amazing Kong? We will find out in less than three weeks at "Hot Summer Nights!"
***Two out of Three Falls***
"The Definition of Technician" CINDY ROGERS vs. ALLISON DANGER
Cindy Rogers felt under appreciated by the SHIMMER fans, and stated on Volume 8 that she has to do whatever it takes to climb to the top of the roster and "get noticed." Allison Danger tried to steer Cindy on the right path as her tag team partner on Volume 9, only for Cindy to turn on her and walk out on the match.
This led to a series of wild brawls between the two, including a grudge match on Volume 10, a street fight on Volume 11, and a Dog Collar Chain Match on Volume 12. Danger demanded the Dog Collar stipulation after Cindy attacked her with a chain following the street fight, and Cindy was able to come up the winner of the match, despite being out of her element in a hardcore style contest.
Danger requested another match against Rogers for "Hot Summer Nights" to avenge her loss in the Dog Collar Match, but Cindy would only agree to it if she had the option of picking the stipulation. Danger agreed, and Cindy selected a Two out of Three Falls match for Inverness.
Rogers has stated that all she needs in order to prove that she is better than Allison Danger is her technical wrestling ability, and feels that a Two out of Three Falls scientific wrestling match is the perfect way to prove it. "I don't need weapons or chains to beat her again. I'll do it with my skill, and show everyone yet again why The Definition of Techician deserves to be at the top of the card."
One of the most intense rivalries currently in SHIMMER will heat up once again in Florida on July 1st! Look for more matches to be added to the Inverness card during the coming days.
Also appearing in Inverness, along with the three announced matches are: Amber O'Neal, Daizee Haze, Rain, Cheerleader Melissa, "The Experience" of Lexie Fyfe & Malia Hosaka, "Your Soul's Tormentor" MsChif (with Daffney in her corner), Tiana Ringer, Portuguese Princess Ariel, and Serena Deeb!
For those who have yet to see the announcements, unfortunately Portia Perez has been sidelined for six to eight weeks as a result of fracturing her hand during her match against MsChif on 6/2 in Berwyn, and will be forced to miss the Inverness show. Additionally, we got word earlier in the week from "The Jezebel" Eden Black that she will be unable to make the trip to the U.S. for the event, as she is needed at her regular job that week in London. Eden will be a part of the next SHIMMER double DVD taping in Berwyn later this year. Our apologies for the change.
Don't forget, Full Impact Pro will be in Melbourne, FL on 6/29 and Crystal River, FL on 6/30 with their portion of the "Hot Summer Nights" tour as well. We will be featuring SHIMMER stars on both FIP shows as well! Already signed for Crystal River is a six woman tag team attraction of Lacey & Rain & Amazing Kong vs. Sara Del Rey & Allison Danger & Daizee Haze! Visit www.fullimpactpro.com for details on the FIP shows.
Make your plans now to join us for a huge weekend of wrestling, "Hot Summer Nights!"

THREE BIG MATCHES ANNOUNCED FOR INVERNESS!
----------------------------------------------------------
SHIMMER - WOMEN ATHLETES presents its first live event in the state of Florida on Sunday, July 1st, 2007, at the Citrus County Auditorium, located at 3610 S. Florida Ave (Highway 41) in Inverness, FL. Bell time is 6pm. Doors will open at 5pm. This event is part of the "Hot Summer Nights" tour promoted by SHIMMER and Full Impact Pro, featuring three consecutive nights of wrestling from Friday, 6/29 through Sunday, 7/1.
Tickets for the 7/1 SHIMMER event are just $10 for adults, and will be available at the door on the night of the event or can be purchased in advance right now using the PayPal buttons along the left side of www.shimmerwrestling.com. Kids 13 and under can get $5 tickets at the door on the night of the event. The show is suitable for all ages!
Fans in Florida will be able to see the renewal of two of the landmark matches in SHIMMER's short history thus far, as well as the continuation of the most intense rivalry currently in SHIMMER on 7/1 at the Citrus County Auditorium!
***SHIMMER Title Match/Rematch of Tournament Finals***
(Champion) "American Angel" SARA DEL REY vs. LACEY
Sara Del Rey was able to overcome the interference of Rain and everything that Lacey threw at her less than two weeks ago in Berwyn to become the first ever SHIMMER Champion. Lacey is out to keep Sara's title reign limited to one month, and has the opportunity to even the score in Inverness, with the belt on the line.
***Rematch from Volume 5***
AMAZING KONG vs. NIKKI ROXX
The Amazing Kong vs. Nikki Roxx bout from Volume 5 became one of the most talked about matches on the SHIMMER DVD series due to the brutal style of Kong mixed with the tremendous heart and determination of Roxx. After the match against Kong, Nikki became more determined than ever, and began a winning streak in SHIMMER competition, working her way up to the main event level in SHIMMER. Does Nikki now have what it takes to overcome the sheer size and power of the undefeated Amazing Kong? We will find out in less than three weeks at "Hot Summer Nights!"
***Two out of Three Falls***
"The Definition of Technician" CINDY ROGERS vs. ALLISON DANGER
Cindy Rogers felt under appreciated by the SHIMMER fans, and stated on Volume 8 that she has to do whatever it takes to climb to the top of the roster and "get noticed." Allison Danger tried to steer Cindy on the right path as her tag team partner on Volume 9, only for Cindy to turn on her and walk out on the match.
This led to a series of wild brawls between the two, including a grudge match on Volume 10, a street fight on Volume 11, and a Dog Collar Chain Match on Volume 12. Danger demanded the Dog Collar stipulation after Cindy attacked her with a chain following the street fight, and Cindy was able to come up the winner of the match, despite being out of her element in a hardcore style contest.
Danger requested another match against Rogers for "Hot Summer Nights" to avenge her loss in the Dog Collar Match, but Cindy would only agree to it if she had the option of picking the stipulation. Danger agreed, and Cindy selected a Two out of Three Falls match for Inverness.
Rogers has stated that all she needs in order to prove that she is better than Allison Danger is her technical wrestling ability, and feels that a Two out of Three Falls scientific wrestling match is the perfect way to prove it. "I don't need weapons or chains to beat her again. I'll do it with my skill, and show everyone yet again why The Definition of Techician deserves to be at the top of the card."
One of the most intense rivalries currently in SHIMMER will heat up once again in Florida on July 1st! Look for more matches to be added to the Inverness card during the coming days.
Also appearing in Inverness, along with the three announced matches are: Amber O'Neal, Daizee Haze, Rain, Cheerleader Melissa, "The Experience" of Lexie Fyfe & Malia Hosaka, "Your Soul's Tormentor" MsChif (with Daffney in her corner), Tiana Ringer, Portuguese Princess Ariel, and Serena Deeb!
For those who have yet to see the announcements, unfortunately Portia Perez has been sidelined for six to eight weeks as a result of fracturing her hand during her match against MsChif on 6/2 in Berwyn, and will be forced to miss the Inverness show. Additionally, we got word earlier in the week from "The Jezebel" Eden Black that she will be unable to make the trip to the U.S. for the event, as she is needed at her regular job that week in London. Eden will be a part of the next SHIMMER double DVD taping in Berwyn later this year. Our apologies for the change.
Don't forget, Full Impact Pro will be in Melbourne, FL on 6/29 and Crystal River, FL on 6/30 with their portion of the "Hot Summer Nights" tour as well. We will be featuring SHIMMER stars on both FIP shows as well! Already signed for Crystal River is a six woman tag team attraction of Lacey & Rain & Amazing Kong vs. Sara Del Rey & Allison Danger & Daizee Haze! Visit www.fullimpactpro.com for details on the FIP shows.
Make your plans now to join us for a huge weekend of wrestling, "Hot Summer Nights!"
