I usually am not a big fan of women's wrestling at all. Not because of sexism or anything, but because women don't really have time to "practice" as much as men, so a good chunck of the spots either look sloppy or contrived. Because when you think about it, an male indy wrestler can have 8-10 matches a month, but someone like Lacey may only get 2 or 3.

But from what I've seen of the Shimmer women, they don't fit that mold(at least a good portion don't). I've been tempted to buy Vol.1 at BB.

Well sorry but I disagree with that view :/. I´ve seen many girls perfoming just as good(If not better, check Ayako Hamada he can tell such great story in the ring that would put 90% of the WWE roster in dead shame.) as the men and some men sucking as hard as it gets.

Yeah. I agree. Just saying what I have seen(especially on the indy scene). And I didn't mean my argument as a "all men>all women". there are some terrible ass men wrestlers out there.

I am thinking of taking all of you up on this recommendation! I did see the DVD at a Best Buy once but i didn't get it. I think I should go buy it though, as I am beyond disappointed with the WWE women's stuff.

I wish SHIMMER had some sort of TV show though. The thing about me is that when I watch wrestling, I like having something I can follow from week to week. When you buy a DVD of a random event, it kind of takes the event out of context since you weren't there to see everything that led up to it. That is the primary reason why I don't really buy ROH DVD's. And likewise, it really is a huge reason why I still follow WWE -- because it's there and it's available. All the more reason why they need competition!!

They only do one taping every couple of months or so, and they tape two Volumes per taping. They've got 6 volumes so far. It ain't that hard to keep track of.
