Ooo pretty colours!
For someone who cares as much about pro wrestling as I do, you wouldn't know it from the contents of this blog so far. Let's change that!
Shine Wrestling is a Florida-based all-womens indy outfit, ostensibly started with the aim of providing talent from SHIMMER and similar promotions with more regular work (SHIMMER generally makes its money from DVD sales and tapes multiple releases' worth over a single long weekend per year). However, the production staff behind Shine - and of course the wrestlers involved - have done such a stellar job with the group that it's almost outgrown its own inspiration, and shows no sign of stopping. That being the case, it's a surprise that only now, with the 9th monthly show, that the company has begun the road toward crowning its first World...Floridian?...let's just say 'champion', alright? They'll have a belt. Doesn't matter what fraction of the globe it claims to cover if there's only 1 of them.
Anyways, I bloody love Shine - it's basically the only wrestling I'm willing to pay actual money for right now (the odd New Japan supershows aside) and it's worth talking about why. So here's my rundown of Shine 9, which aired live from The Orpheum in Ybor City the night of April 19th, 2013.
(or, for me, really damn early in the morning of April 20th, because timezones)
