Match-of-the-Day: October 30

 New SHIMMER CHAMPION!!!

Competitors: Madison Eagles v Cheerleader Melissa

Volume: 44 -- thirteenth match

Time: 20:00 (?)

Finisher: Reversing a Hellbound

Highlight: ACheerleader Melissa won the right to "Number 1 Contender" by defeating Kana on Vol. 43.  She is the sentimental favorite to unseat the great Madison Eagles.  Viscious match with crazy out-of-ring sequences that had melissa over the bar and steel barracades down.  These two techincally accomplished, big-move wrestlers put on an epic match -- one most worthy of the change of title.  Poetic justice to have Melissa win with a reverse of the brutal hellbound finisher that Eagles' opponents dread.

Mia Yim v Angel Orsini at ICW tonight in Queens, NYC

Definitely check out a first-time-ever match between WSU star Angel Orsini and ROH/CZW star Mia Yim.  Mia has appeared before at ICW shows, but usually as a valet or a part of Southside Playaz Club.  Tonight she has a singles match on the Halloween Hell show against one of the all-time indy greats -- Angel Orsini.  It should be a lot of fun.  If you can brave the rain and the SNOW (Damn!  It's only October!) come on out to the Elks Club and check out the action.
