SHIMMER: Difference between revisions

 

Several SHIMMER wrestlers have gone on to wrestle for the major promotions.

* [[TNA]]: Cheerleader Melissa (Raisha Saeed/Alyssa Flash), Nikki Roxx (Roxxi Leveaux), Shantelle Taylor (Taylor Wilde), "Dark Angel" Sarah Stock (Sarita), Ashley Lane (Madison Rayne), Rain (Payton Banks), Josey (Sojourner Bolt), Nikita (Winter), Daffney.

----

* [[Aborted Arc]]: Mercedes Martinez made a [[Face Heel Turn]] as part of her feud with Sara Del Rey in the early volumes, but then got sidelined by injury. When she returned, she was back to being a face.

* [[Action Girl]] or [[Dark Action Girl]]: Pretty much the whole roster.

* [[Canada, Eh?]]: Averted - The Canadian wrestlers run the gamut from the friendly and good natured to the cartoonishly evil. This is probably because a large percentage of the Shimmer roster are Canadian. So much so that Allison Danger once mused that it should be renamed Shimmer - ''Canadian'' Athletes.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: LuFisto. From a exchange with MsChif:

* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Tomoka Nakagawa has no problem using such tactics as biting, eye poking and choking with her belt in order to get a leg up on her opponents.

* [[Companion Cube]]: Shimmer allows wrestlers to have "managerial objects," such as LuFisto's doll Peegaboo and Malia Hosaka's "partner" Lexie-Fyfe-on-a-Stick.

* [[Cool Mask]]: Allison Danger wears one as part of her entrance gear.

** Jamilia Craft is the first actual masked wrestler to compete in Shimmer.

* [[Cosplay Otaku Girl]]: Part of LuFisto's gimmick are her many anime inspired costumes.

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Cat Power [[You Taste Delicious|licking Amber Gertner's cheek]] following a backstage interview. Something usually [[Les Yay|erotic]] was instead just flat out scary, enough so that the commentators were shuddering following it.

* [[Noodle Incident]]: Cat scratch fever.

* [[One of Us]]: Leva Bates for too many reasons to list.

** McChif is also a [[Badass Labcoat|micro]][[Hot Scientist|biologist]].

* [[Parts Unknown]]:

** MsChif is from "The Inferno".

** Rachel & Jessica's Excellent Tag Team are from the International House of ''Pain''cakes.

** Lufisto is from Montreal, Japan.

** Ayako Hamada is from Tokyo, Mexico.

** Amazing Kong has a regular hometown (Tokyo, Japan), but weighs "None of your damn business".

** The team of Ariel and Nikki Roxx has a total combined weight of "Awesome".

* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Ayako Hamada got one on the Volume 39 tapings when referee PJ Drummond kept hassling Hamada to get back in her corner while she was trying to make PJ aware of her partner, Cheerleader Melisa, being repeatedly double teamed by Madison Eagles & Sara Del Rey. Finally, fed up, Hamada screamed at PJ to "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Keep in mind SHIMMER is billed as a family-friendly show so this caused quite a reaction from the crowd.

* [[Scary Black Man|Scary Black Woman]]: Amazing Kong.

** Cindy Rogers' [[Bret Hart]]-esque leather jacket.

** After {{spoiler|losing the title and turning heel}}, Sara Del Rey starts channeling the Undertaker.

* [[Waif Fu]]: Notably averted - WWE's "Divas" are trained to wrestle a more gymnastic wrestling style with lots of handsprings, headscissors, and Matrix dodges. In Shimmer, the women are more likely to trade forearms, exchange painful holds, and generally wrestle a strong ground game.

* [[World of Action Girls]]

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Green Hair]]: MsChif
