. Cheerleader Melissa finally gets a shot at revenge and the SHIMMER Championship against Sweet Saraya Knight in a steel cage!
. Athena has one of her biggest matches to day as she wrestles Ayako Hamada!
. Australian duo Madison Eagles & Jessie McKay return to SHIMMER and do battle!
. Mia Yim faces a HUGE challenge as she's set to compete against Awesome Kong!
. Ayumi Kurihara wrestles her last ever match in the US as she faces off against Mercedes Martinez for the very first time!

Plus, Kana, Serena Deeb, The Canadian Ninjas, Made in Sin, Tomoka Nakagawa, Christina von Eerie, Veda Scott, the SHIMMER debut of New Zealand wrestler Evie and a bunch more.

Should be a great show - hopefully Melissa gets her title back to end things on a high note. I'm also really looking forward to seeing Madison Eagles vs Jessie McKay, both are very impressive and it should be a great match. Kurihara vs Martinez should be excellent as well.

Yim/Kong sounds great. So does Kurihara/Martinez. But i just found out the event is starting at 9am PST. That's a huge deal breaker

Yeah, early morning PPVs aren't exactly the most suitable (waking up at 6AM on a Sunday to watch New Japan was a total pain in the ass), SHIMMER's pretty well timed for me though - starts at 5PM here.

I'm going to miss Ayumi/A★YU★MI so much after her final match for good. She never had a match I couldn't at least appreciate and manage to adapt so well to each style no matter where it was. I just wish I had noticed her prior to Dragomania IV.

If I didn't already find the rest of the card so fun for talent and guarantee for well constructed matches, I would pay just for Ayumi out of support.

#Face or #Heel I hope he main event's next year the guy deserves it already.

A quote from a GMA Interview today.

"I'm hung up on going on last, being the main event on WrestleMania," said Punk. "There's all sorts of people who will tell you 'You're wrestling the Undertaker and maybe that's bigger than the title, bigger than going on last and there's a difference between the main event and the last match.' It's just been ingrained into me. Ever since I was a kid I wanted to be in the main event at WrestleMania."

Man, it's not bigger, not even close. Being cannon fodder for Taker's streak you join some REAL luminaries :|

yeah only way it might be bigger is if Taker leaves Mania 20-1 and cenawinslol.jpg

if Cena actually turns heel (cue Vince's music) then it won't be.

When they were on the ropes and would've given him everything to sign a new contract back in 2011, he should've negotiated that. They would've given it to him.

Who knows, maybe he did and it's set for WM 30 against Austin already.

We all know that on merits alone, he should be the one stripping the belt off Dwayne in the last match on the card

But it just won't happen until WM 31 (at least)

First a Cesaro shirt, now a subtle reference to Zach Ryder's theme song in the same photo as Wrestlemania's board. Punk's trying to get everyone a WM paycheck.

Cracking the code further. The stable will be Punk, Cena, Cesaro, and Ryder. "We've been stepped on for too long! Now we're gonna get to stepping!" and Fandangoo is the leader, teaches them dance.

I just got invited to see some mexican lucha liibre. It will be a nice change of pace to step out of the WM hype until tomorrow.

I'll try to post some pics late at night.

I really want the WWE to have the superstars put out their workout routines and diets. I want to be a smaller version of Cesaro.

UNTAPPED MARKET, VINCE.

I really don't like Rosenberg. Like, I get that you want to be the guy wrestling fans on the internet think are cool but I don't like him directly talking about smart marks, Cena as the babyface and company man, ect...

I thought Cena's dig at Punk was pretty fun, tho!

???

He gets great interviews out of people, and they seem fine with it. I don't see a problem.


And this Stone Cold podcast is really entertaining. It's normal SCSA but completely uncensored. What's better than that? The more time that passes, the more I think he's the best "real" gimmick in all of wrestling. He's ALWAYS on. There's actually no gimmick, it's just him.

That is what makes Rosenberg great. I don't need kayfabe interviews, I know these characters already. Give me honest interviews with the real people instead.

Just like actual actors, I don't need them to be their characters outside of the TV program.

Ugh, 20 minutes in and still no show - this is pretty poor from WWNLive. Shoulda tested the internet well before show time, and on the biggest weekend of the year, too.

I can see if maybe the building was super slow in getting an internet connection actually hooked up, but otherwise, there is no excuse to not have tested the internet before the show.

It certainly is fun.

And I only bought 2 iPPVs. ROH Final Battle and NJPW. I was lucky in that they went smoothly but am always weary about these type of stories. I would be very upset if I couldn't watch the show.
