Match #11: The Canadian Ninjas (Porita Perez & Nicole Matthews) def. MsChif & Cheerleader Melissa to retain the SHIMMER Tag Team Championships. This was an interesting contrast of styles, as Melissa and MsChif tend to put on tag team matches that resemble the matches put on by male independent wrestlers from the modern day, whereas the Ninjas are, at least in my mind, more reminiscent of a heel team from 1980’s Memphis or some other southern territory, relying a lot more on stalling, cheating, and cutting off the ring than contemporary highspots. The potential for a clash of styles was essentially overcome by allowing MelissChif to destroy the champions with their signature offense early on, including an INSANE spot in which Nicole was laid up against the guardrail while Melissa picked up Portia and wheelbarrow whipped her into her own partner. Ultimately, the Ninjas were able to confuse their opponents and get them out of position, which resulted in the champs isolating MsChif and hitting her with a superkick/German suplex combination that gave Nicole the pin.

Oddly, this did not result in Matthews getting a shot at MsChif’s SHIMMER Title. It did, however, lead to a pre-taped promo airing during Volume 30 in which Melissa told ‘Chif that their two back-to-back tag team losses were leading to her dissolve the team and focus on her singles career.

VOLUME 30

Match #10: Madison Eagles def. Cheerleader Melissa to become the number one contender to the SHIMMER Title. This was set up by a pre-tape in which Melissa, Eagles, and Sarah Stock all having words about who would be the next champion, with MsChif deciding that the best way to resolve this situation would be Stock receiving her previously scheduled title match and Melissa and Eagles doing battle for the next title shot. The crowd was big into Melissa and the prospect of her winning this match, which make sense because, all weekend long, virtually every fan I talked to had expressed their desire to see MsChif and Melissa lock it up for the championship. That’s why Eagles winning, especially by wrapping her legs around the ropes during the final pin attempt, got a HYUGE amount of heat from the 250 or so fans in attendance. The match itself was not bad, though it was a bit disappointing in that each of the preceding four matches had built in terms of quality and intensity, while this one represented a bit of a step back from the Danger/Perez match that preceded it.

ShimmeringWrestling.Com has released three more studio shots of Melissa for volume 27/28. All her studios for Shimmer are outstanding but this new one here is definitely our favorite!

Here are two new studio photos of Melissa for Shimmer volume 27 and 28. She is looking gorgeous as usual and her photos never disappoint, don’t they?

Volume 27
6. Cheerleader Melissa defeated Nicole Matthews. Great match. Nicole was able to injure Melissa’s knee early on, and worked on it like crazy. After a stiff Curb Stomp, and some back and forth counters, Melissa hit to Kudo Driver for the win.

Volume 28
7. Cheerleader Melissa defeated Kellie Skater. I also want to point out that Melissa’s attire is setup that it could be used as both her Cheerleader and Alissa Flash characters. In fact, this attire is on her new TNA promo photo. Kellie noted before the match that she’s the greatest, virtually indestructible, and was going to destroy this cheerleader. However, during the match she did a lot of running away. A decent match, which was intensified at the end when Melissa slammed Kellie’s head against the guardrail something like 15 times. It was so hard she even knocked the lights out.

Melissa’s shoot has finally been released, and might I add that she looks hot in all her shots! Click the link below to check out all the gorgeous photos!

Great job Melissa! 2 wins out of 4 is pretty impressive! Huge congrats!

Cheerleader Melissa has been one of the most exciting performers in SHIMMER history. Melissa’s battles against MsChif early in the SHIMMER DVD series have become legendary for their innovation and creativity. Later bouts between Melissa and the likes of Daizee Haze, Sara Del Rey, Amazing Kong, Sarah Stock, Mercedes Martinez, LuFisto, and many others have demonstrated to SHIMMER fans worldwide why Melissa is one of the very best in the industry.

“The Croatian Panther” Wesna Busic made her way to SHIMMER in early 2008, facing main event level competition from the very beginning. Wesna’s physical encounters against Martinez and Kong, though losing efforts on her part, were perfect examples of the intensity that Wesna brings to the ring each and every time.

On Volume 21, Wesna gave SHIMMER’s resident diva Amber O’Neal just a taste of what “The Croatian Panther” is all about, putting Amber away with the CB4 Driver, in a bout that also opened many fans’ eyes to the ability of O’Neal hold her own in a fight.

Volume 22 saw perhaps Wesna’s most hard-hitting, memorable SHIMMER encounter to date, as she went one-on-one in an International Dream Match against Canada’s LuFisto! Many fans called that match the best of that day’s taping, as neither woman held back one bit in a first time ever meeting, anywhere in the world.

As we approach SHIMMER weekend in just a matter of days, we must switch focus to the ChickFight promotion. It was in ChickFight rings on events the United Kingdom that Cheerleader Melissa and Wesna began something special in 2007… a rivalry that got wrestling fans across the globe talking.

It was at ChickFight IX on June 17, 2007 at Orpington Halls in Kent, England that Melissa and Wesna fought to a classic 45 minute draw, which left both women battered and bruised by the end. They met again at ChickFight X on May 4, 2008 at The Caribbean Centre in Ipswich, England to continue their memorable series of ChickFight encounters.

Cheerleader Melissa, despite her friendship with MsChif, would love nothing more than to get the opportunity to receive a title shot at the SHIMMER Championship in the future, something that has eluded her in #1 Contender’s matches on several occasions already.

On the heels of the loss to LuFisto on Volume 22, Wesna must somehow get herself on the winning path in order to work her way into title contention. Wesna’s true potential as a main eventer in SHIMMER has yet to be realized, and each and every match from this point forward is crucial to her chances of getting a title shot.

On Saturday, May 2nd at the Berwyn Eagles Club (6309 26th Street) in Berwyn, IL, the rivalry which began in Europe will come to America for the first time! This weekend, SHIMMER presents Cheerleader Melissa vs. Wesna Busic!
