Cheerleader Melissa VS Jessie McKay - SHIMMER 5/3/2009

JJZ: Jessica McKay really impressed me this match, working a babyface style also so we got both sides of the coin with her PIF run. Cheerleader Melissa is honestly someone I always forget about and as soon as I watch her I get mad at myself because she is really good. The chemistry was great between these two ladies. McKay had some plucky underdog energy going on for sure. Melissa swinging Jessica into the gaurd rails was such a smart way to get heat. That move looks so painful. I know we talked about it before but man did the Shimmer crowd really show out for these events.  Melissa and Jessica used every minute they had to tell a complete and wonderful story.

CJD: I loved the beautiful simplicity of this match. Jessie was out of her depth but wasn't gonna back down unless Melissa put her in the ground. It was a fun, easy watch with some great moments. I've had a jumbled hectic couple of weeks and something about a match like this can be such a reset in the best way possible. I think that's one reason it can hook even a small crowd to this level. Melissa was a monster and McKay's growth from here to our last match, let alone now, is staggering. Also I'm loving these SHIMMER deep dives. Great pick my friend!
