SHINE 8 card: Eight Woman Warfare, Leva & Kimberly pick some poison and a career is on the line
Shine 8 : On the heels of a well received SHINE 7 iPPV which saw the newly formed VALKYRIE stable complete a clean sweep of victories, going 3-0 across the board, the newly released SHINE 8 card offers the Home Team a chance to gain a measure of revenge in the form of an eight-woman tag team main event. Rain will lead VALKYRIE, consisting of Made In Sin (Allysin Kay & Taylor Made) and this week’s TNA Gut Check contestant Ivelisse Velez, against a team consisting of Amazing Kong, Mia Yim, the returning Christina Von Eerie and the debuting Angelina Love. The heel team picks itself, naturally, but it’s an interesting choice on the Kong side, as it seems that the people who ran in to help at the end of SHINE 7 (Nikki Roxx, Santana Garrett, Tracy Taylor & Su Yung) have all been passed over in deference to Von Eerie & Love. We have no great issues with the choice, as the match looks tasty in any event, but it seems a shame that someone like Santana, who has been quietly improving show by show and looked to potentially have a chance to move up the card, remains anchored to the midcard.
Underneath the massive main event, SHINE 8 promises two semi-mains with big implications – both based on long term feuds in the company. In one, the Leva Bates vs Kimberly feud rumbles on for a third straight show, this time under what is being advertised as “Pick Your Poison” rules. In recent years, the term “Pick Your Poison” in wrestling has come to mean that feuding rivals choose each other’s opponents for the night, but here the ‘Pick Your Poison’ will refer to match stipulations. The match will have two stipulations, one picked by each of the opponents – so in theory (if we correctly understand the way this works) we could get a Falls Count Anywhere Submission Match or a 2/3 Falls Tables Match. Intriguing, and considering Leva & Kimberly are 1-1 since Kimberly’s heel turn on Leva, this is a potential feud-settler. What almost certainly *will* put an end to a feud is the match between Reby Sky and Jessicka Havok, which is being billed as a “Career vs Respect” match. Simply put, if Havok beats Sky, Sky’s time in SHINE is over, but if Sky can overcome the larger, stronger and more vicious Havok, Havok will have to stand in the middle of the ring and admit on the mic that she respects Sky.
In a rematch from SHINE 7, veterans (and SHIMMER originals) Nikki Roxx and Mercedes Martinez will meet again, following Roxx’s Barbie Crusher-assisted victory, Santana takes on the returning Sojo Bolt and veteran Brandi Wine battles Carolinas mainstay Jayme Jameson. Rounding out the card, Su Yung will have her hands full with Brittney Savage, who debuted last show with a win, and Chicago’s Nikki St John takes on the little firecracker Luscious Latasha.
