SHIMMER Women Athletes sent out the following:

MELANIE CRUISE AND MISS NATURAL ADDED TO BERWYN TAPINGS!

SHIMMER – WOMEN ATHLETES is proud announce the addition of MELANIE CRUISE and MISS NATURAL to the SHIMMER 54-57 tapings on April 13th & 14th at the Berwyn Eagles Club in Berwyn, IL, only 10 days away!

Melanie Cruise is one of the few Chicago natives on the SHIMMER roster, and has been a part of our events in Berwyn since very early in her professional wrestling career. Over the years, Melanie has certainly grown as an athlete before the eyes of the SHIMMER fans. She had the valuable experience of receiving instruction from “The Croatian Panther” Wesna Busic for a brief period of time, as Wesna helped Melanie fine tune her game, to make best use of the size advantage which she enjoys against virtually all of her opponents. Cruise later went on to team with Mena Libra as an intimidating tag team force, before returning to the singles ranks once again at our last set of tapings. One of Cruise’s most impressive outings thus far was her SHIMMER 50 match against Hiroyo Matsumoto. It was that match which opened a lot of people’s eyes around the world to the even further heights which Melanie Cruise could take her career during the years to come.

Veteran competitor Miss Natural returned to the SHIMMER roster during late 2012, following an initial stint in 2008. Shortly after those first SHIMMER appearances, Natural took a hiatus from the sport, but has since returned to a full schedule, regularly competing in rings throughout the central United States. With the benefit of learning under both Ken Patera and Harley Race, Natural is a no nonsense athlete with all the tools to get the job done in the ring. She proved as much during our last set of tapings, scoring three victories against opponents much newer to the game than she, utilizing her Natural Disaster (bridging fisherman’s neckbreaker) to put them down for the three count. Next weekend in Berwyn, Natural looks to continue that momentum.

ONLY 10 DAYS UNTIL OUR RETURN TO BERWYN!
