Just to clarify what I'm doing. I'm putting anyone that has had ramifications from this horrible situation on my restricted list hence why Marty Scurll, among others, are still on my rosters since no action has come from the accusations made against them. Among those booted off to the restricted list are Mike Quackenbush and Travis Banks, both of whom were legit removed from their positions and in the case of Quack his whole company was removed. I won't release a full list of names going on my list but I'm sure most of you know who would make the list. I actually started this list a few years back with Rude Boy Riley so now he has some company. I hear you cruefan68. I am working on getting back to my Indy feds in the coming days and there are some wrestlers I will not be using going forward, some at least for now and some probably never again. It will be a case by case basis. I never used Rude Boy Riley.

Really enjoyed ECW cruefan68! Huge fan of both DLJ and The Strangler. Hope DLJ holds onto that belt for a record reign. I'd love to see Kenny Omega vs George Hackenschmidt in the final with a Hackenschmidt RUSSIAN BEARHUG ending. But It's gonna be great regardless. Wrestlecade here we come!

Thanks for the comments on the ECW show everyone along with some of the great PWI Cup tournament predictions. The tournament really filled out nicely and it will be fun to see who can win it among all of those great names. Up next we have action from SHIMMER and I hope you enjoy it...
SHIMMER - Women Athletes - Volume 58 - The Eagles Club - Berwyn, IL (Card #1278)
Quick Results:
1) Allysin Kay, Chelsea Green & Deonna Purrazzo defeated Davina Rose, Solo Darling & Delilah Doom (Allysin Kay pinned Delilah Doom - Power Bomb)
2) Cat Power defeated Priscilla Kelly (Pinfall – Sidewalk Slam)
3) Madison Rayne defeated Shotzi Blackheart (Pinfall – Rayne Check)
4) Thunder Rosa defeated Heidi Lovelace (Submission – Snake Eyes - La Rosa)
5) Jessicka Havok & Vanessa Kraven defeated Nicole Savoy & Shazza McKenzie (Jessicka Havok pinned Nicole Savoy – Havokiller)
6) Tessa Blanchard defeated Jordynne Grace (Pinfall – Double Knee Facebreaker)
7) SHIMMER tag team titles: Barbi Hayden & Kelly Klein (with Mademoiselle Rachelle) defeated “Crazy” Mary Dobson & Courtney Rush© by DQ
8) No Holds Barred Match: Madison Eagles defeated Saraya Knight (Pinfall – Hell Bound, a Death Valley Driver onto the knee)
Show Highlights:
Trios action opened the show with the popular combination of Davina Rose, Solo Darling & Delilah Doom taking on Allysin Kay, Chelsea Green & “The Virtuosa” Deonna Purrazzo. This was a fun, fast paced match that had some nice twists and turns including Kay’s team surviving a “Sugar Rush” by Darling. Purrazzo was a key member of her team often cutting off offensive runs by the opposition. In the end it was Kay who finished off Doom scoring the pin with a Power Bomb.
The mysterious Cat Power out of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, looked strong in this match with the highly touted Priscilla Kelly. The early going was controlled by Kelly, but Cat Power used her size and strength advantage to reverse the momentum. After scoring a near fall with a Russian leg sweep, Cat Power caught Kelly with a big Sidewalk Slam to score the pin. Kelly was not happy over the loss claiming that Cat Power grabbed her tights on the pin, but the decision stood.
The “Ballsy Badass” Shotzi Blackheart took on the raging hot Madison Rayne in singles action. The ever confident Rayne has been on a nice winning streak of late, but Blackheart was looking to end it. The crowd was fully behind the spunky Blackheart who gave Rayne some real anxious moments. Unfortunately for Blackheart, the two went down on a double corner clothesline and Rayne recovered first hitting the Rayne Check to score the pin.
A battle of very evenly matched stars saw Heidi Lovelace take on Thunder Rosa. This was a hard hitting battle which included Rosa nearly winning by count out after running Lovelace into the ring post. Lovelace recovered and took the fight to Rosa hoping to put her away. A late counter by Rosa led to a top rope hurricanrana for a big near fall. Rosa followed up quickly by trapping Lovelace in La Rosa for a snake eyes submission victory. Rosa kept the hold on after the bell leading to Evie, the tag team partner of Lovelace in Team Kick, running in to make the save.
Nicole Savoy and Shazza McKenzie teamed up to take on the monstrous duo of the “Havok Death Machine” Jessicka Havok & “The Mountain” Vanessa Kraven in what looked to be an uphill battle. Savoy looked strong early including nearly tapping Havok out with the Savo Lock. McKenzie also picked up a big near fall on Havok with the Shaztastic Stunner, but the pin was broken up by Kraven. The finish was one of destruction as Kraven twice leveled Savoy with the Sitout Power Bomb for near falls. That set up Havok for the finish as, with McKenzie out of the way, she nailed Savoy with the Havokiller and scored the pin. Havok angrily grabbed the mic post-match and warned that no champion in SHIMMER is safe from her and Kraven.
A big grudge match born out of Volume 57 saw former Heart of SHIMMER champion Jordynne Grace take on the nefarious Tessa Blanchard. It was Blanchard that cost Grace her championship against Nicole Matthews coupled with intentionally injuring Lufisto, Grace’s tag team partner in Team PAWG, the same night. Grace was out for revenge and used her power to dominate Blanchard for most of the match, including scoring a big near fall with Fall from Grace. Matthews showed up to assist Blanchard but was ejected from ringside by the referee. The distraction allowed Blanchard an opening and she hit a senton bomb on Grace for a near fall. Blanchard took over and scored a few near falls building to the finish where, after a brief comeback by Grace, she hit the Double Knee Facebreaker for the pin.
The SHIMMER tag team titles were on the line as “Crazy” Mary Dobson & Courtney Rush defended the gold against two-thirds of B-R-B (Blonde, Red & Bad Ass), Barbi Hayden & Kelly Klein, who were accompanied by their manager Mademoiselle Rachelle. This was a war from the opening bell with Dobson and Hayden having some rough exchanges. “Crazy” Mary looked really good here including leveling Hayden with the top rope head stomp. B-R-B would gain control after that getting the heat on Dobson for a good stretch as a pleased Rachelle looked on from ringside hoping to see her team take the titles. It was not to be, however, as once the demonic Rush got the hot tag, she took it to both members of B-R-B. The actions of Rush ultimately resulted in a disqualification as she turned the blonde haired Hayden blue with a full dose of the Blue Mist! It was a controversial version for defense of the titles for Dobson and Rush and one that left B-R-B and Rachelle fuming. It was later learned that SHIMMER promoter Dave Prazak has ordered a No DQ rematch for the titles at Volume 59 (Card #1288 in Berwyn, IL).
The main event saw the long standing rivalry between “The Punisher” Madison Eagles and “Sweet” Saraya Knight culminate in a brutal No Holds Barred match. There was no stopping these two as they fought all around The Eagles Club sending fans and chairs scattering. The referee was only around to declare a winner inside the ring, a place where little of the action took place. Knight was particularly brutal, using chairs, camera cables and even a pair of crutches to batter Eagles. Things were not looking good for “The Punisher” until she was able to slingshot Knight head first into the ring post. Knight was busted open as a result and Eagles took full advantage of that by attacking the wound including striking Knight over the head with a chair. When they finally battled back into the ring, a double clothesline out of the corner left both women shaken up. Eagles was able to recover first and quickly nailed the bloody Knight with Hell Bound to score the pin. It was a tremendous win for Eagles who afterward was informed that she will be challenging Sara Del Ray for the SHIMMER title at Volume 59.
SHIMMER Top 10 Rankings:
1) Madison Eagles 2) Saraya Knight 3) Tessa Blanchard 4) Jordynne Grace 5) Madison Rayne 6) Jessicka Havok 7) Barbi Hayden 8) Allysin Kay 9) Thunder Rosa 10) Deonna Purrazzo

Some solid Shimmer action. Dobson and Rush make a very fun tag team.

No DQ rematch with Barbi & Kelly?! Just the kinda fun 'Rosemary' Rush & Crazy Mary want in their life... Bring on the Blue Mist and goalie mask head butts... These two have easily become my favorite Shimmer pairing of all-time... Truth!

5 star entertainment as usual cruefan68! Shimmer 58 was a blast and sets up some highly anticipated bouts. Crazy Mary Dobson and Courtney Rush will have their work cut out for them but they will prevail. And as much as I like Sara Del Rey - I think Madison Eagles is going to relaim the title that she once couldn't defend due to injury back in the day. (At least I think it was this title). Tessa Blanchard inches closer and closer to a shot with her victory. What a powerful team Havok and Kraven make. Although if Sara Del Rey does retain the title I will totally be ok with that!

Thanks for your comments Troy, Pariah and Bri. The ladies of SHIMMER always bring the action and I am also looking forward to the No DQ tag title rematch as well as Eagles vs. Del Ray. Tessa Blanchard has been on fire and I feel like she could be the next challenger for the Eagles-Del Ray winner, possibly at WrestleCade 13.
The fun thing about Crazy Mary and Courtney "Rosemary" Rush is that they are also loosely affiliated with Thunder Rosa so those three could cause some more mayhem together down the line. I agree that they are a fun team.
Coming up in the next post is the IWA follow-up to Survival of the Fittest, a huge night of action from Chicago. By the way this show is subtitled "Lions in the Night" and if you know my musical tastes I'm guessing some of you may know where that comes from!
