JAJOUKA'S NOTES....
- I had the chance to talk to people who saw Mickie today. She is in a lot of pain. The surgery took a little longer than normal due to the amount of muscle mass in Mickie's legs. The muscles spasmed after the break and caused he bones to slide past each other. The doctors had to stretch the bones back into place in order to insert the titanium rod. Doctors expect Mickie to walk out of the hospital tomorrow. She already had her first Physical Therapy session today and is allowed to eat food again. They feel she should be back in the ring anytime between three and six months. Even though she is in pain, when she found out that a video on YouTube of the injury, she wants to kick the person's arse for illegally doing a digital recording at an IWA show. So watch out, Mickie on one good leg will still kick everyone's arse. Ian Rotten has spoken to Terry Taylor who in return spoken with Dixie Carter and Jeff Jarrett and they've assured him that she will not lose her spot and look forward to her return. Get well Mickie, you are indeed one of the good guys in this business. I can't wait to see you perform soon!

RESULTS....
Shimmer – Volumes 19 & 20 recorded on July 5th....
- Two dark matches prior to the tapings occurred and dubbed, Sparkle Dark Match. Match One saw Jordan McIntyre defeat T.D.
- The second dark match was a very nice pairing of Egotistico Fantastico and Jeff Brooks. Both men can do the high-flying or the ground & pound styles of wrestling. It was a treat to see both of them come out and work a comedy style match. It all started out with announcer Joey Eastman letting people know that it was a 10 minute time limit with five minutes remaining prior to the match starting. WWE dropped the ball on Ego as he got the win over Brooks.
- Now time for the taping of Volume 19. The show opened with a Shimmer Battle Royale with the winner having a title shot later in Volume 19. Every thirty seconds you'll get another lady coming. The crowd went crazy for Lufisto and she and Cheerleader Melissa had a great forearm battle in the middle of the ring. Sara Del Rey brought her more violent style into the ring. You can't forget the power and dominance of the Amazing Kong. One point she military press Portia Perez out of the ring. Unfortunately for Kong, having her back turned to Princess Ariel, she and others quickly flipped her out of the ring. The end of the match had Jetta, Sara Del Rey, Nikki Roxx, Mercedes Martinez and Ariel left in the ring. Sara tossed out Nikki and Mercedes and Ariel came up behind Sara and used her momentum to toss her out. This left Jetta and Ariel left in the ring. Jetta placed Ariel on the top turnbuckle and still upset from her elimination; Sara pulled Ariel down to the floor and started yelling at her for costing her chance at getting the belt back. The ref didn't see this happen, but when he turned around he saw Ariel on the floor and awarded Jetta the winner. Sara continued to attack Ariel by throwing her into the barricade. The assault ended when the referees were able to force Sara to the back.
- Daizee Haze was out and announced that she injured her ribs during the week during a training session and will have to miss her first Shimmer taping.
- Portia Perez power bombed Shark Girl out of the corner after Shark Girl got the ten punches in the corner. Perez got the win with a little help of her feet on the ropes.
- Serena Deeb first time back since being under the knife defeated Danyah with her breathtaking spear.
- Ashley Lane & Neveah hit the single legged dropkick/flatliner combo to defeat Cat Power & Veronica Vice.
- Lorelei Lee had the unfortunate opportunity to be sacrificed to the angry Amazing Kong. She did get a couple of moves in, but two hard backhands and a spinning back fist got Kong the win. Lorelei suffered a jaw injury from the match.
- Nikki Roxx got a huge pop from the crowd in her singles return to Shimmer. She used her Barbie Crusher on Nicole Matthews for the win.
- Allison Danger got the rollup on Jennifer Blake. After the match, Allison got on the mic and told the crowd that Jennifer is the greatest young Canadian talent she has seen in some time. Cue the music and out comes Portia Perez and Nicole Matthews. Perez was upset by Danger's comments and that she and Matthews hold that distinction. She also called Danger a "Diet Canadian."
- LuFisto got the huge "welcome back" chant and used her burning hammer to get the win over Rain.
- Sara Del Rey ambushed Ariel as soon as she walked through the curtain. She hit stiff kicks and torturous submission holds in the new Sara attitude. Ariel got a few moves in during the match and climbed to the top rope for a cross body, but was caught in midair by Sara and then put her in the Royal Butterfly for the win.
- When these two meet up, they put on a woman's match that is like none other. Mercedes Martinez and Cheerleader Melissa just beat on each other like there will be no tomorrow. Brutal strikes and a ton of finisher reversals. Finally Mercedes succeeded in hitting the fisherman buster for the win.
- Final match of Volume 19 saw Shimmer champion MsChif defend the title against Jetta. There was a lot of screaming from MsChif and Jetta being startled by them. Jetta got some big moves in and had the opportunities for the win, but MsChif hit the Desecrator for the win.
- Shimmer Volume 20 started with Veronica Vice's first singles match against Shark Girl. Shark Girl with the stunner for the win.
- Allison Danger teamed up with Jennifer Blake to take on the "Canadian Ninjas," Portia Perez & Nicole Matthews. Both ladies had matching T-shirts with, "Just To Let You Know, I Am A Ninja." Portia informed everyone that she is now the master of avoiding the body slam. She will be putting up one thousand Canadian dollars on the line if Danger could body slam her within the first minute of the match. With that she tagged out right away and stayed on the floor until the minute was up. When Danger and Perez were in the ring together, Perez worked on the arm and collarbone that Danger separated a few months ago. Perez locked on the Fujiwara armbar for a submission win.
- The next Amazing Kong sacrifice came in the way of Danyah. She did get some offense in, but tried to hit the fireman's carry on Kong. Power bomb by Kong.
- Cat Power went right after the injured knee of Daffney. She got the submission win with the figure four leglock.
- The International Home Wrecking Crew came out with T-Shirts which depicted Lacey as a missing person on the side of a milk carton. Jetta & Rain defeated the Ohio Blondes of Ashley Lane & Neveah when Rain used the tights to pin Neveah.
- Positive chants for both of the next two happened throughout the match. Even a chant of "Cheer for both!" happened. Ariel took on Nikki Roxx. Ariel got a surprise roll-up for the victory.
- It took a lot for Sara Del Rey to final finish off the smaller Serena Deeb. Sara focused on the arm in the first part of the match. She then hit the Tree of Joey Lawrence and a hard kick to the knee, she changed her focus and started working over her knees. Serena got the ball rolling in her favor but went charging for Sara but she moved out of the way and Serena went all the way to the floor. Del Rey went out and hit a Dragon Screw into the guard rail. Sara rolled back into the ring waiting for the count-out victory. Serena got back in at nine and nine tenths. Sara won with a leg submission. This was a match of the night for a lot of people. Serena took a beating and just kept coming back.
- If the Mercedes & Cheerleader match from Volume 19 was hard-hitting. This made that match look like a pillow match. LuFisto taking on Cheerleader Melissa had to follow probably the match of the night. Well, they took the honors of match of the night as they threw everything at each other. Melissa got wheelbarrow whipped in the guardrail. This match had the right balance and build to any match you could ever dream of seeing on TV. Cheerleader Melissa got the win and could easily be one of the best woman's matches in years.
- After two incredible matches, the main event was still to come with Mercedes Martinez getting the shot at the Shimmer Champion MsChif. MsChif screams at Mercedes and she gouges her eyes. This match had the two trying to set up each other's big move. Finally Mercedes hit two spinebusters but it was MsChif's desecrator that was the one move that resulted in a three count. The last three matches proves that the women can wrestle just as good if not better than the men on TV.

Osyris won the title and continued to hurt Billy. He used him as a lawn dart and tossed him into the ring post which put a huge gash in his forehead. Osyris continued to hurt Billy Roc and laid-out over a dozen wrestlers who tried to come to his aid. Even when the ..EMT..'s came to the building to help Billy, they were unable to, until PT Hussla & Brian Roberts came out swinging chairs and chased Poffo & Osyris out of the building and into their cars. The place got very quiet as the ..EMT..'s worked on Billy Roc. He was placed in a neck brace and then onto the stretcher and taken to the hospital.

He then turned to T.D. and said he was going to make T.D. his pet project and make him a star.

Crazy dives including Quick doing a 900 off the top rope. Hades was setting up Ali for the Killswitch when Quick came flying over the top rope and hit a flying kick to Hades. Ali then hit him with the Weapons of Mass Destruction (inverted 450) for the win. After the match Ian took a survey to see who thought they were going to see Jason Quick's brains all over the floor, everyone raised their hands.

- The Best Around put up a great fight, but the double superkick by the Motor City Machine Guns was just too much as the MCMG's got the win.
- Larry Sweeney didn't like his entrance music and demanded some classic rock or disco for a dance off against his opponent Super Hentai. Flock of Seagulls' "I Run So Far Away" was played and in the end of the dance off, Sweeney bowed to the winner, Super H. Winner to get a shot at the Super Indie Champion Jerry Lynn. Super H. got the win and will be facing ....Lynn.... on August 2nd.
- The John McChesney versus Ricky Reyes match saw a ref bump. This allowed the heavyweight champion Dennis Gregory to hit the ring with the belt. McChesney held up Ricky for Dennis to hit with the belt. Dennis missed Ricky and hit John. Pissed off, Dennis left the ring and Ricky took advantage and got the pin.
- Because this was an outdoor show, there was noise from a battle of the really crappy cover bands going on down the road at the fair. At one point during a really horrid song, Dennis Gregory hit a move on Delirious. The song stopped and Gregory said that the move was so good, they had to stop playing. Gregory got the win and kept the heavyweight title. He got on the mic and said there is no one left to fight which Reyes hit the ring and got him in the triangle choke.
