Updated Card for SHINE 9: First Qualifying Matches Announced for Championship Tournament

http://www.diva-dirt.com/2013/04/17/updated-card-for-shine-9-first-qualifying-matches-announced-for-championship-tournament/

SHINE Wrestling will take its first steps towards crowning its inaugural champion this Friday at SHINE 9 with the first qualifying matches of the SHINE Championship Tournament.

Sixteen wrestlers will compete in the qualifiers, four of which will be held at SHINE 9 and four at SHINE 10 on May 24th. The eight winners will then compete in a one-night tournament at SHINE 11 on July 12th (the company’s one-year anniversary show) where the winner will be crowned the first ever SHINE Champion.

The first qualifier will see the veteran Jazz make her return to SHINE after an absence of several months to take on Valkyrie’s breakout star Ivelisse. Meanwhile, Valkyrie’s de facto leader Rain will face former 5-time TNA Knockouts Champion Angelina Love in a qualifying match that will see no love lost between the two women, following Love’s baptism of fire into SHINE at the hands of Valkyrie.

Two former SHIMMER champions and international stars will also get a shot in the tournament. Saraya Knight looks to redeem herself after losing her SHIMMER title to Cheerleader Melissa earlier this month, and will face off in a qualifying match against Su Yung, who has the unenviable task of taking on arguably the angriest woman in wrestling a mere two weeks after her biggest defeat. And if that wasn’t enough, two of the biggest stars of the independent women’s wrestling scene will face off in qualifying action this Friday, as former SHIMMER Champion Madison Eagles goes up against Jessicka Havok in a first-time-ever dream match.

Add the already-announced main event Steel Cage match between Leva Bates and Kimberly, and SHINE 9 looks set to potentially be the biggest and best SHINE event yet!

JAZZ AND ANGELINA LOVE!!!!
Yes Yes Yes!!!!

Yeah I really want to order it but I probably should save my money I've been on a little spending spree..

I've ordered it and can't wait :D

Congrats.

Bobby, I'm so jealous that you ordered this. Had I not bought the SHIMMER 53 iPPV a couple of weeks ago, I would be watching it right now.
