New Sister Promotion to SHIMMER debuting in July - Events to be shown on iPPV
SHIMMER

It's emerged that a brand new women's wrestling promotion will be starting up in July that will be a sister promotion to SHIMMER Women Athletes.

The yet unnamed promotion will be based in Florida - the debut show to be held in Ybor City, Florida on July 20th - will host monthly shows, to be viewed through internet Pay Per View. Former SHIMMER wrestlers are involved in running the shows, in the form of former TNA Knockout and WCW star Daffney, as well as Slammin' Ladies' Lexie Fyfe. Also involved is Sal Hamaoui - the longtime SHIMMER DVD editior and former booker for the Full Impact Pro promotion in Florida - and of course SHIMMER founder and promoter Dave Prazak.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com reports that the idea for these shows is to bridge the gaps between SHIMMER DVD tapings, giving the large amount of talent in Florida (and presumably around) a chance to work and impress, working their way into SHIMMER main show appearances or just get their names out there with their ability.

This is obviously major and exciting news, and we'll bring plenty of updates (especially the name for this promotion) when they happen.

Last Night it was announced via WWE.com that WWE Diva Rosa Mendes had been involved in an accident whilst waiting at a red light in Las Vegas. It was reported that a car collided with the vehicle which led to Rosa suffering a "Serious Whiplash".

"We were talking when all of a sudden, I saw in my rear view mirror a truck coming really fast. It jackknifed" Says Rosa to WWE.com "We were the last car hit, so we had the most impact," she said. "We slid two car lengths. I didn’t know when it was going to stop. If we weren’t in the Hummer, we would’ve been seriously injured."

Thankfully Rosa walked away with her life suffering a Whiplash in the process.

“My neck and back were really hurting. My body is my job. I was so scared that I was not going to be able to wrestle. I was in a lot of pain. Nothing’s broken. I feel like I can wrestle but the whole right side of my neck and back have a burning sensation.”

Chyna Speaks out on her Fainting at Fan Expo Yesterday
News
Former WWE Diva Chyna whom fainted earlier this week while at a pornographic fan expo held in Miami, has addressed the incident while speaking to E!

Speaking on the incident the former WWE Women's Champion said:

“It’s weird because I’ve been feeling so good lately, almost like She-Hulk, my character in Vivid’s Avengers XXX. But then I started to get a cold and feel weary. I think I overdid it with the cold medicine and a glass of wine at lunch today. I feel much better now and intend to go out to the pool.”


A rep from the event went on to say:

“She has been feeling flu-like symptoms and took some over the counter medication to combat this, and possibly mixed it with a beverage during lunch. She was helped to a vehicle at the show and brought back to her hotel to rest—not a hospital as reported by some outlets.”

WSU Ownership News - Independent Buyer Backs Out, Still in Talks With Two Others
WSU

Women Superstars Uncensored is currently going through negotiations with two parties for new ownership, after one independent buyer backed out from a deal. The all-female wrestling promotion's current owner, Sean McCaffrey, is selling WSU due to "heatlh issues" amongst others.

Commenting via Twitter, Caffrey stated:

Sale update: Original buyer backed out today, we are negotiating with two other parties, one being a prominent indy promotion to buy… But to answer all the DM’s, reason I personally leaving is I have other issues in life to address right now that are time consuming. I do not want to put out a half ass effort, and if I can’t run the company at the level i want and used to, because of other matters. It is time to hand the keys to someone who can dedicate the time, energy and passion that I was able to as owner… But end of the day, health issues, job opportunities and newborn babies come before wrestling, & I don’t want to 1/2 ass anything…


Thoughts: The news is sudden, and this certainly marks a major turning point in WSU's career with Jessicka Havok as the top WSU Champion and former company figurehead Mercedes Martinez looking to be leaving the company, it's going to be a testing time for fans and wrestlers alike in WSU.

Brooke Hogan Joining TNA as "Executive in Charge of The Knockouts"
News

The daughter of Hulk Hogan, reality TV and singer Brooke Hogan has been announced as becoming a part of the TNA roster in a position of power role as "Executive in Charge" of the TNA Knockouts.

On the same night TNA will start to air Impact Wrestling live, May 31, the "star" of Hogan Knows Best and Brooke Knows Best will become the latest addition to the roster. The news of Brooke Hogan joining TNA had been mentioned during one of disgruntled former TNA star Scott Steiner's rants over Twitter, but here is real confirmation.

Thoughts: I guess they didn't want to go back to using Traci Brooks or Karen Jarrett for the role? Being a personality on a reality TV show and being a personality on a sports entertainment show are two very different things, but I'll hold my doubts at the moment until we see Brooke Hogan in TNA and what role she plays on the shows. She'll certainly bring name value and will be good for PR, and of course having a very famous father with a lot of stroke in TNA will have played a major part in her becoming a part of TNA.

Who will feel the impact if General Manager John Laurinaitis gets terminated?
Over The Limit
http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2012/05/20120515_Article_Who_Is_Next_Terminated.jpg


This coming Sunday GM of Both Raw and Smackdown takes on John Cena in his first ever PPV match, in an all new article on WWE.com the question is posed what will happen to those around Laurinaitis if he loses match and is terminated as a WWE Employee. Among those featured in the article is Former WWE Divas Champion, Eve Torres who has been John's latest force taking over the WWE even been the main component for the firing of The Big Show and The Bella Twins.



Don't let her stunning looks fool you. Eve has been a conniving businesswoman that Laurinaitis has fully embraced as his Executive Administrator. Just ask The Bella Twins or Big Show what they think of Eve, who was directly involved in their recent firings from WWE. Despite her ruthless attitude, though, Eve has proven she gets the job done exactly the way the Raw and SmackDown GM wants.

Without Laurinaitis as the boss, can Eve maintain her position of power? Or will the next General Manager clean house, moving the Executive Administrator back to competing in the Divas division, or worse, dismissing her from WWE completely? Both are potential scenarios for Laurinaitis' leading lady.

WWE.com Layla Vs Beth Phoenix Match Preview
Over The Limit
http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2012/05/%2120120507_LIGHT_OTL_beth-layla_C.jpg


When Beth Phoenix lost the WWE Divas Championship to Nikki Bella on the April 23 edition of Raw SuperShow, The Glamazon severely sprained her left ankle.

But that wasn’t enough to keep Phoenix down. Less than a week later, she was set to face Nikki for the butterfly-emblazoned title at Extreme Rules … or so she thought. Before her match at Extreme Rules, Phoenix learned she was not medically cleared to compete.

With The Glamazon out of the picture, Layla stunned the WWE Universe by returning from injury to capture the WWE Divas Championship from Nikki at Extreme Rules.

Layla’s shocking return was the culmination of a long road to recovery after suffering an injury in 2011. Immediately after her victory, an exuberant and glowing champion did not mince words about her plans. “I'm going to dominate,” she said in a WWE.com Exclusive Video.

But Layla’s return is not sitting well with The Glamazon.

"I’m going to bust her other knee, and make sure that she goes away and never comes back," Phoenix said in a recent emotional interview with WWE.com. "She has no idea what she has gotten herself into.”

With tensions continuing to mount between the two, their clash was officially announced on May 7 on WWE.com.

At WWE Over the Limit, will The Glamazon find a way to reclaim the title she held for just over six months? Or, will Layla fight to keep what she has earned just as hard as she fought to rehab from from her injury? Tune in Sunday, May 20, live on pay-per-view at 8 ET / 5 PT.

Japanese All-Female Promotion REINA "Dissolved" after First Anniversary Show
Reina

Surprising and disappointing news coming from Japan is that the all-female wrestling promotion REINA has apparently been "dissolved" and will run no more events, despite having just hosted its one-year anniversary event.

Universal Women’s Pro Wrestling REINA, the joshi company with close ties to the CMLL lucha libre promotion in Mexico, hosted its first anniversary show at Tokyo's infamous Korakuen Hall over the weekend, but the main news from the show wasn't the result of any of the matches - instead that the company had actually put on its final event. Top star Ray who recently made her debut in SHIMMER let the news out over her Twitter account:

“I was surprised at the dissolution of REINA, but it gave me the opportunity to fight lots of overseas stars and go to Mexico. I will be forever grateful. Happiness to everyone”


REINA used many international stars not just from CMLL (the CMLL-REINA International Junior Title was co-promoted by the companies), but SHIMMER and beyond including the likes of Sara Del Rey, Portia Perez, Nicole Matthews, Mia Yim, and Kimber Lee who actually made her REINA debut on this show. No official reason has been stated for the company's dissolving.

Results from the final REINA show, courtesy of RingBellesOnline:

1. Hikaru Shida & Tsukasa Fujimoto defeated Basara & Saya.
2. Aki Kanbayashi defeated Kimber Lee.
3. 6-Woman Tag Team Match: Mima Shimoda, Ray & Tomoka Nakagawa defeated Goya Kong, Zeuxis & Dalys La Caribeña.
4. Mexican National Women’s Title; Best 2-out-of-3 Falls Match: Princesa Blanca (c) retained over Lady Apache, 2 falls to 1.
5. Kyoko Inoue & Sareee bt Aoi Ishibashi & Mia Yim.
6. Hair vs. Hair, Falls Count Anywhere Street Fight: Yumiko Hotta defeated La Commandante.

Raw Reloaded [May 14th 2012] - Revving up Towards Over The Limit, and the Divas are Ready!
Raw Super Show Reloaded
Last week the stage was set for a match at the Over The Limit Pay Per View, as the Divas Champion Layla is set to defend against former champ “The Glamazon” Beth Phoenix, and Layla showed she's more than ready, staring down Beth as she sat on commentary. Eve also continued to stamp her position of authority as the Executive Administrator, putting the giant The Big Show in his place after he foolishly made fun of the G.M. John Laurinaitis' voice. Will this week bring more of the same? Will Eve continue to let the power go to her head? Will Phoenix make a statement of her own towards the reigning Divas Champion? Let's find out in this, the Raw Super Show Reloaded!

The Match
Divas Singles Match
Beth Phoenix defeated Alicia Fox after hitting The Glam Slam.

That's right, the first taste of the Divas on Raw (unless you're counting Eve appearing in a recap of the story with Big Show from last week) was a match! Coming back from commercial, Alicia Fox is in the ring in black with orange trim attire, doing some odd swaying/dance thing but seeing that she's on TV she made it more over the top, before climbing up a corner to pose, much to Perv King's approval.

No entrance? ALWAYS A GOOD SIGN!!

Another good week of Raw from the Divas and great build up for the PPV Divas title match as well. It seems that the Divas division is steadily on the up and up, and here's hoping it continues on past Over The Limit. Join me here next week for all the all out from the title match, and we'll either see Layla continue to shine at the top of the pile, or a new Divas Champion if Beth can rise like her namesake. Until then, this has been AdamHaze and I'll see you in seven!
