SHIMMER Spotlight: Eden Black

by


You know what time it is people! Really? You don’t? Well I’ll clue you in. It’s time your weekly dose of SHIMMER goodness. Every Friday, I’ll be bringing you profiles on the hard hitting ladies of SHIMMER. Everyone from the major players like MsChif to the up and coming rookies like Ashley Lane and Portia Perez. So lets get to the good stuff, guys.

Name: Eden Black

Age: 28
Aliases: ‘ The Jezebel ‘
Entrance Theme: “Pure Rock Fury” by Clutch
Finisher(s): Garden of Eden (Triangle Choke); Blaxploitation (Crucifix Powerbomb); The Eden Project (Wheelbarrow Suplex)
Accomplishments: Real Quality Wrestling Women’s Champion (1 Time)

Eden Black dresses like the boys and she plays like one too. This flame-haired  tomboy is as notorious for her distinct choice in ring gear, as she is for her smashmouth style in the ring. Actually, her punk rock style and baggy pants are reminiscent of another redheaded veteran(Take a wild guess). 

She was a smash hit in the UK, wrestling big names like Lexie Fyfe and Wesna Busic. She also advanced to the finals of the first ever ChickFight Tournament, losing to Cheerleader Melissa. After coming to a draw against Allison Danger in a title defense, Danger recruited black as a regular in SHIMMER.

Black took SHIMMER by storm, picking up wins over likes of Rain, Amber O’Neal and The Minnesota Homewrecking Crew. She was even booked in a tournament to name the first ever SHIMMER champion. Unfortunately, she was eliminated in the first round by SHIMMER veteran Lacey. her last SHIMMER match to date teamed her with Daizee Haze and MsChif to take on The International Homewrecking Crew in a winning effort.

SHIMMER Spotlight: Lacey

by

Over the last week I’ve been hooking you guys up with the 411 on everyone’s favorite all-girl wrestling promotion, SHIMMER. I’m glad you guys are enjoying these ladies in action. Support them and buy the DVDs if you can. Now that that’s out of the way, it’s time for one last(?) SHIMMER Spotlight. 
 
Name: Lacey 
Age: 25 
Aliases: The Lovely Lacey 
Entrance Theme: “The Game” by Disturbed 
Finisher(s): TKO; Implant DDT; Lungblower
Accomplishments: FLWA Women’s Champion (1 time); MIW Women’s Champion (1 time); NWA Midwest Women’s Champion (1 time) 
Years Active: 2000 – 2008 
 
I’m about to make a statement that is really gonna piss some people off. Lacey is possibly THE best heel in women’s wrestling ever. Oh yeah, I went there. Anyone who has seen this young lady work the crowd would be hard pressed to disagree. Sure Beth Phoenix can play the powerful, dominant heel and Maryse can be the sexy snob, but no one in WWE or TNA can make people love to hate them like Lacey. 
 
Don’t let her pretty face fool you. From insulting the fans at ringside to spitting water on them (and not in the cool HHH way), Lacey encompasses what it means to be a heel. I’ve even seen her rip up some money (isn’t that illegal?) that a smart-ass fan threw at her.

SHIMMER Spotlight: Daizee Haze

by

I’ve gotten a few comments from you readers here at Diva Dirt. It seems you would like to see more of SHIMMER Spotlight. YAY! Ahem, so I bring to you, my friends, the second installment of SHIMMER Spotlight. 
 
Name: Daizee Haze 
Age: 25 
Aliases: The Haze, Shelirious 
Entrance Theme: “Sensi” by Long Beach Dub Allstars 
Finisher(s): Mind Trip (Snapmere Driver); Heart Punch; Yakuza Kick; Daizee Cutter (Stunner) 
Accomplishments: APW Future Legend Champion (1 time); Chickfight 6 winner; NWA Midwest Womens Champion (2 times); Ranked # 15 on PWI Female 50 last year. 
 
They say that dynamite comes in small packages. That has never been more true than in the case of Daizee Haze. Pound for pound, this flower toting phenom is one of the toughest girls in SHIMMER.
 
In the 7 years since her debut, Daizee has wrestled in Ring Of Honor, TNA and a whole mess of midwest promotions. All while spreading love with her peace-loving, pot smoking hippie gimmick. She’s even been a valet to Matt Sydal or as you may know him Evan Bourne. 
 
While she’s slight in stature, Daizee has had some of the most exciting matches in women’s wrestling. She’s gone head to head with Mickie “Moose” Knuckles, Lacey, Cheerleader Melissa aka Raisha Saeed and current Knockouts Champion, Awesome Kong.

SHIMMER Spotlight: Ashley Lane

by

As a frequent visitor of this site I noticed something that I found strange. A lot of you guys are not familiar with SHIMMER. For shame people. SHIMMER is the cream of the crop of women’s wrestling. Anyhoo, now that I’m an intern here at Diva Dirt, I have the chance to help you see the error of your ways(Lol, just kidding). Without further ado, I present you with what I hope to be a new staple of this site, SHIMMER Spotlight. 
 
Name: Ashley Lane 
Age: 22 
Aliases: Lexi Lane, Madison Rayne, ‘Sexi Lexi’ 
Entrance Theme: “Curse of Curves” by Cute Is What We Aim For / “Misery Business” by Paramore
Finisher: Dys-Lexi-a (Reverse STO) / Curse of Curves (with Nevaeh) (STO by Nevaeh & Yakusa Kick by Ashley)
Accomplishments: 2 time Ohio Championship Wrestling Women’s Champion ; 1 time Shimmer Tag Team Champion (with Nevaeh) – first
 
At first glance Ashley Lane may look like just another Diva Search Reject, but think again. This pint-sized dynamo is half of the SHIMMER tag champs and one of the best female wrestlers on the indy circuit today. 
 
Ashley has spent the last few years honing her craft on the circuit against accomplished wrestlers such as ODB. All her hard work paid off, as she managed to score a spot in SHIMMER, and eventually earn the tag team titles with her partner Nevaeh. 
 
If Ashley looks familiar to you its probably because she recently had her first televised match.

Why So Innovative, TNA?

by

Either this is a spooky coincidence or TNA is trying to send one final blow to WWE, this Christmas. Hot off the heels of WWE’s holiday-themed 8 Diva tag match at Armageddon, TNA has pulled the same shtick for their Christmas episode of Impact. The company filmed next week’s Impact last night which will air … Read more

Inked: A Study in Diva Tattoos

by

This week’s WWE.com Diva Dish mentioned Candice Michelle‘s newest tattoo, and this little bit inspired me to investigate which former and current Divas and Knockouts have their own selection of body art. Thus, a blog post was born! Below I’ve listed those I could find:

Angelina Love


TNA’s Angelina Love has four tattoos, all pointing towards an angel fixation. She has:

• an angel on her hip
• her former ring name “Angel” scripted on her arm in Old English style lettering
• an angel on the back of her left shoulder
• the Chinese symbol for “angel” on her lower back, surrounded by a set of wings.

Why so angel-obsessed, Angelina?

“I have always had a fascination with angels. I love how they look, I love their innocence, and I love what they represent.”

• • • • • • • •

Ashley Massaro


Former WWE Diva Ashley has plenty of ink:

• a butterfly on her hip
• two black-and-pink nautical stars above the elbows on the back of her arms (her brother has a matching pair on his arms)
• Chinese lettering down the small of her back
• more Chinese lettering down each side of her torso, reading “Trust No One”
• an illustration of a dragon wrapped around the lettering on the left side of her torso.

Review: TNA Knocked Out

by

Next month, TNA celebrates one year of it’s much celebrated Knockouts division with the release of ‘Knocked Out’, a DVD featuring all of the Knockouts including recently departed Gail Kim and Salinas. It was at Bound For Glory in October 2007 that the division was launched with a 10 woman gauntlet match to determine the first Knockout Champion and this DVD comes precisely one year from that historic event. One could argue that it’s too soon to release a Knockouts DVD but given the reception from both critics and fans alike for this division, this feels like the perfect capitalisation on a hot subject.

From key Knockouts such as ODB and the Beautiful People, the DVD even features the likes of Lauren and SoCal Val, all this interspersed with seminal matches from the division’s one year history including the complete trilogy of matches between Gail Kim and Awesome Kong as well as the Makeover Battle Royal and more. It seems the DVD’s lengthy running time is more made up of these matches than actual Knockout chapters, the likelihood is that the type of fan this DVD aims to reach are the fans who have seen these matches already; it does make for a nice little compilation nonetheless. The DVD’s introduction features comments from the likes of TNA President, Dixie Carter as well as wrestlers Christian Cage, Kurt Angle and Jeff Jarrett which I felt was a nice touch to add to the legitimacy of the Knockouts division – having praise heaped upon it from top tier stars. Carter’s presence on the DVD particularly stood out to me as she touches upon my thoughts, the idea of a female president of a wrestling company. Carter comes across extremely passionate, protective and supportive of this division and so she should; in a male dominated sport Carter is in a position to promote talented women over men and she speaks with conviction in her support of the Knockouts.

Oh Hey There, Gail Kim!

by

Marketing gaffe or just poor timing? The poster for TNA’s Bound for Glory Pay-Per-View, which doesn’t take place until October, features one Gail Kim, whom we all know has recently made an exit from the company.

TNA Reveals Knocked Out Cover

TNA Impact Redux For 7/10/07

by

Thursday night’s Impact show was an overall success for the Knockouts (*surprise, surprise*). For the most part, each lady involved had a formidable appearance. The Knockouts Salinas, Angelina Love, Velvet Sky, ODB, Gail Kim, Karen Angle, Taylor Wilde, Roxxi, Awesome Kong & Raisha Saeed were all featured in some way, shape, or form.

Thoughts & Reactions:
Taylor Wilde vs. Awesome Kong (Title Match):
The first Knockouts match was the $25,000 and TNA Knockouts title match between Taylor Wilde and Awesome Kong. Taylor got some good offense but was pretty boring overall. I just mean, that her only real way to get Kong down was to keep dropkicking her. She needs some better strategy in my opinion. During the contest, Roxxi came down to cheer on “the newbie”. Near the end of the contest, Kong hit a flawless “Implant Buster”, which Taylor somehow kicked out of. The end of the match came when Taylor made a surprise roll-up pin on Kong for the win, the $25,000, and the TNA Knockouts Championship. Will Taylor be able to retain the title on tonights PPV “Victory Road”? We’ll just have to wait and see. My bet says she will.

TNA Impact Redux For 7/3/08

by

impact redux

Today Kicks off Diva Dirt’s first “Impact Redux”, brought to you by yours truly, Doug. Most of the TNA Knockouts were shown throughout the show, including: Angelina Love, Velvet Sky, Roxxi, Moose, Taylor, Raisha Saeed, Awesome Kong, Karen Angle and Salinas, who all made for an interesting event.

Thoughts & Reactions
Roxxi vs. Moose:
The first set of Knockouts shown, I believe were Roxxi and Moose in a “Bimbo Brawl”. Moose entered first with her shopping cart of weapons, while Roxxi entered second with a chair. The match was utterly brutal, with Roxxi getting hit upside the head with two pans, and a “Yield” sign. Moose also took a beating, getting thrown into her shopping cart, and than getting a nasty baseball slide by Roxxi. The match ended when Moose set up the “Yield” sign on the mat, and planted Roxxi with a double underhook DDT on top of it. Roxxi was shown with a large cut on her forehead, and was bleeding pretty badly.

Overall, the match was pretty well done. Both ladies had great chemistry with one another, making the overall atmosphere pretty bitter. Roxxi and Moose each got their fair share of blows, and each showed an incredible amount of skill throughout.
