Shimmer Women Athletes

The awesome Rain

I talk a lot about Shimmer here, but I have never really taken the time to highlight just what it is.
Shimmer is called Shimmer Women Athletes or SHIMMER Women Athletes or just plain SHIMMER.
It is a Chicago based female independent pro wrestling promotion created by Dave Prazak and run by him and Allison Danger.
Shimmer held it's first event on November 6, 2005.
SHIMMER is closely affiliated with ROH (Ring of Honor) and is the home of probably the best female wrestling you will see.

And the list of SHIMMER wrestlers from the past and present is long and stellar.
Just a few of the female wrestlers that have worked for the company are Rain, Ariel, Jetta, Cat Power, Nevaeh, Daffney, Lorelei Lee, Cheerleader Melissa and Jennifer Blake.

Of course many SHIMMER stars ( like Amazing Kong (Awesome Kong), Cheerleader Melissa (Raisha Saeed) , Daffney, Nikki Roxx (Roxxi) and for a short time, Rain, as Payton Banks ) have gone onto work for TNA.

And Beth Phoenix and Nattie Neidhart (Natalya) also worked for Shimmer at one time.
.
I really cant say enough about this organization, so the best thing to do is check out their website here:

Cat Power, Haley Rogers

This lovely young lady is another Shimmer wrestler, Catherine Power (Cat Power).
Cat was born on November 15, 1985, in North Sydney, Canada.
Besides Cat Power, she also wrestles under the name Haley Rogers.
Besides Shimmer, Cat has wrestled for Blood Sweat and Ears, Border City Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Xtreme and Women's Extreme Wrestling.
Cat was bitten by the wrestling bug so hard, she left University College of Cape Breton to go to the Can-Am Wrestling School in Windsor, Ontario.

Here is a video of Cat's Shimmer debut against the awesome Allison Danger
