[edit] Affiliations and Showcase Matches

With SHIMMER and big brother Ring of Honor being closely associated, the SHIMMER women have been allowed to compete on the pre and main show cards of several ROH events, as well as FIP, AAW and XWA events under the guise of 'SHIMMER Showcase Matches'. The women having solid outings on the ROH shows, such as March 25th, 30th, 31st and April 1st, 2006 in New York City, Detroit, and Chicago respectively, in front of large crowds has created a buzz for the promotion, which will hopefully make for bigger turnouts on their DVD tapings.
