LEXIE FYFE REMEMBERS "SENSATIONAL" SHERRI
----------------------------------------------------------
Well, I never thought I would be writing remembrances
of Sherri Martel this soon. All day long after
getting the news I just kept saying, "I'm sad." It is
such a sad day for wrestling in general but even more
so for those of us who thought we would have more
opportunities to talk to, learn from and just absorb
whatever knowledge we could from Sherri.
What can I say about her that others haven't said more
eloquently than I ever could? Yes, she was great for
women's wrestling but I think she was great for
wrestling period. She really did have it all- looks,
ability, mic skills and that great timing that
wrestlers and managers need to have. She was one of
the best.
I have a couple of favorite Sherri memories that I
would love to share. The first time I met Sherri was
in 1999 when I was at a show wrestling Amy Dumas aka
Lita. Amy actually wrote about this in her book
also-that is how much we both were crazy about Sherri.
I remember being so excited that we were going to
meet her and thinking that we had to put on the best
match ever. Sherri came into the locker room and said
hi then immediately went into one of the stalls. Amy
and I just giggled to each other that Sherri Martel
was peeing in our locker room- when I say we were
marks for her I mean it!! When she came out, we
introduced ourselves to her and she was nice enough to
take a picture with us. She watched our match that
night and afterwards we asked her for advice. All she
really said was she was glad she wasn't working with
us because we hit really hard. To this day we're not
sure if that was a compliment or not.
Wow, I have so many little memories of Sherri...she
was always so nice to everyone...
Another time we were at a show in Warren, Ohio and she
was doing the commentating along with Rocco Rock (the
late Ted Petty). She borrowed some hairspray so she
could get her Flock of Seagulls hairdo working. That
was her discription not mine although it was a very
80's pop group hairdo she was sporting. I was just
looking at those pictures the other day and thinking
how much I miss Ted and now I'm missing Sherri too.
It's funny how memories can make you smile and cry at
the same time.
I did have the honor of wrestling against her at one
of Ian Rotten's IWA MidSouth shows. She was already
having her serious back issues at the time and I was
worried about hurting her even more. Besides that, I
was freaked out because I was going to WRESTLE SHERRI
MARTEL!!! Unless you're in the wrestling business I
don't think you can truly understand what it means to
wrestle one of your idols. Anyway, we had our match
and I will treasure that forever.
Over the years I have caught up with her at
conventions and shows. Sometimes we had a chance to
sit down and chat. Other times it was a quick hug
hello then off to work. She always had a smile and a
hug for everyone.
What more can I say? There will never be another
Sherri Martel and I will miss her.
Rest in peace Sherri,
Lexie Fyfe

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!"

really said was she was glad she wasn't working with
us because we hit really hard. To this day we're not
sure if that was a compliment or not.
Wow, I have so many little memories of Sherri...she
was always so nice to everyone...
Another time we were at a show in Warren, Ohio and she
was doing the commentating along with Rocco Rock (the
late Ted Petty). She borrowed some hairspray so she
could get her Flock of Seagulls hairdo working. That
was her discription not mine although it was a very
80's pop group hairdo she was sporting. I was just
looking at those pictures the other day and thinking
how much I miss Ted and now I'm missing Sherri too.
It's funny how memories can make you smile and cry at
the same time.
I did have the honor of wrestling against her at one
of Ian Rotten's IWA MidSouth shows. She was already
having her serious back issues at the time and I was
worried about hurting her even more. Besides that, I
was freaked out because I was going to WRESTLE SHERRI
MARTEL!!! Unless you're in the wrestling business I
don't think you can truly understand what it means to
wrestle one of your idols. Anyway, we had our match
and I will treasure that forever.
Over the years I have caught up with her at
conventions and shows. Sometimes we had a chance to
sit down and chat. Other times it was a quick hug
hello then off to work. She always had a smile and a
hug for everyone.
What more can I say? There will never be another
Sherri Martel and I will miss her.
Rest in peace Sherri,
Lexie Fyfe

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!"
