'''SHIMMER''' is an all women's wrestling fed based in Berwyn, Illinois, run by commentator Dave Prazak and wrestler Allison Danger. Established in 2005. It describes itself as "American Joshi" and has close ties to [[Ring of Honor]]. The SHIMMER Championship is recognized as The ROH women's championship and is defended on ROH shows. SHIMMER does their shows on DVD only but fans are allowed to attend tapings.
Several SHIMMER wrestlers have gone on to wrestle for the major promotions.
* [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]]: [[Beth Phoenix]], Nattie Neidhart (Natalya), Nikita (Katie Lea), Krissy Vaine and Shantelle Taylor (briefly), Serena Deeb (Serena), Kharma (Amazing/Awesome Kong), Brittani Knight (Paige), Tenille.
* [[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.
Line 16 ⟶ 17:
* [[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:

** On the one hand, when LuFisto said that, she [[Alternative Character Interpretation|may]] have been seeing if MsChif [[Not Listening to Me, Are You?|would respond positively to]] ''[[Not Listening to Me, Are You?|anything]]'' [[Not Listening to Me, Are You?|LuFisto said]], which [[Obfuscating Stupidity|allowed LuFisto to get a title shot]]. On the other hand, this is the same woman who cries out for help to her doll Peegaboo...
* [[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.
Line 90 ⟶ 91:
* [[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]]
* [[X Meets Y]]: Has been described as "''[[All Japan
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Green Hair]]: MsChif
