best way to watch SHIMMER without going live or waiting for DVDs is clickwrestle.com I haven't purchased through them because I'm a weirdo that enjoys whole shows and not just matches.

I have altered my retirement plans. Pray I do not alter them any further.

So I went ahead and got the ClubWWN sub, and while SHIMMER isn't on there, Shine is. They do still have the majority of the SHIMMER shows as VODs, but at $15 a pop it gets a bit pricey.

What is the usual release schedule for the non-Mania shows though? Are they only still doing DVDs or do they do more VODs now?

Trying to find answers on the internet has been hard oddly enough.

DVDs and individual matches on Click Wrestle. They're 20 DVDs behind right now, so it's pretty much impossible to follow regularly unless you go to the shows. It's still 2015 according to SHIMMER's release schedule.

Prazak said until recently that he wouldn't budge on his DVD production schedule (or lack thereof), but said on Twitter shortly before the last round of tapings that he's working on some sort of VOD. Whether that's through WWN, Fite or the rumored WWE thing, I don't know.

Dunno if it'll be uploaded anywhere, but this was announced for Fortune Dream 5:

Fortune Dream 5 will feature a three-way match between Io Shirai, Meiko Satomura, and Hiroyo Matsumoto

Cool thanks. Hopefully that's sooner than later, but I've got a bunch of other things to watch now with STARDOM and whatnot

It seems fairly likely that the problem is Prazak can't afford the DVD printing without taking the pre-order money. Every time he announces that the DVDs are up for pre-order and will be released "next month". Then it takes 3-4 months at least before anything happens.

To be honest, that would probably be a good spot to start Io's farewell tour if she's going to be winding down her stint in the company. She's out of things to do. Where she goes from there, I don't know. I know she has that triple threat match in June, but other than that her schedule seems completely open. Wouldn't rule out WWE bringing her in for a few matches in the Mae Young Classic II, even if they won't offer her a full time contract due to supposed medical conditions. That being said, I imagine if her heart condition can be taken care of, she'll probably do so and then sign with WWE, since that's been her goal for awhile now.

Their singles match last October was fantastic, as was their bit in the 5-v-5. I'm really, really looking forward to this. I'm fully expecting Kagetsu to walk away with the belt but I guess it could go either way.

The "Wear Another Wrestler's Costume" battle royal on the same card sounds like a good time but I'm having a hard time imagining QQ coming up with it. It sounds like something Oedo Tai would make everyone do.

Isn't Brandi part of the STARDOM Cinderella tournament in a few days? And she is getting a brief stint in STARDOM as a "normal" roster member as well. As part of Oedo Tai. Hopefully at the end of it, they kick her out.

Tonight is the Cinderella Tournament for STARDOM. While I think Hazuki and Hana have pretty decent chances of winning, I wouldn't be shocked if they have Brandi Rhodes win. It seems like every single gaijin on tour for STARDOM has to face Io at some point, and that'll be their excuse to shove her into a match with Io. Would the hypothetical match be good? That's pretty much certainly a no. Io would be the wrestling version of Atlas if they had a good match.

btw it'll be 3 days before start seeing the first tournament matches so good luck trying to not get spoiled. All the matches from the Draft show are up now, which is cool.

Kay Lee Ray vs Meiko Satamura at Pro-Wrestling:Eve's WrestleQueendom was pretty good! So far the highlight of the show, but I missed nearly the entirety of the ladder match due to Fite.TV issues. Commentary was talking about someone going to the hospital, and chat was talking about how nasty a bump someone took, but I can't tell if its work or shoot.

Eve also announced that they'd be starting/helping out with a Women's Wrestling HOF.

Yea, my stream died right at the start of the Kris Wolf/Jetta match, but was up by the time the ladder match started. Leah Owens took a weird bump (looked like she was going for a leg drop or something) and landed weird with her right knee collapsing. I first thought it was some kind of work, but they seemed pretty serious on her being taken to the hospital.

Also, seconding the Satomura/KLR match. It was my first time watching EVE, so it was my first time watching many of the ladies, so that match completely blew me away. The main event also had a great spot, but I won't spoil it for anyone who catches it later.

KLR is really brilliant. There might be others who are better at this or that. But KLR delivers in every type of match, every spot on the card and as babyface or heel. Has a serious stage presence too these days.

I would say Io may be a part of ALLIN but considering Tessa is a part of the show I seriously doubt it. I think its more likely that Oedo Tai shows up as part of it.

Update: Looks like Stardom wont be All In. :v:

If you want to start somewhat fresh, I'd start with the faction draft stuff which was recently uploaded (they have a pretty massive backlog right now to work through when it comes to uploading stuff). While there are a few hanging points, its a good place to start as it was essentially a soft reset on the storylines for the most part, while planting the seeds for other ones (Hazuki being pissed Io didn't draft her back into Queen's Quest is an example).
