OK, so many people thought that Nattie was WWE bound even before this show, so I guess there was no time to build to a match like this, but seriously... talk about a baptism of fire! Neidhart is good. Really good, in fact... but a strong argument can be made that Del Rey is the SHIMMER company ace. Unbeaten in singles competition to date, Del Rey is the class of the field. No-one told Nattie, it seems, because for long portions of this match, she HUMBLED Del Rey. Given how dominant Sara has been, this was truly eye opening stuff, as Neidhart worked over the legs of her opponent for the eventual Sharpshooter. Del Rey fired back, sure, but Neidhart kept cutting her off. Nattie was almost certainly going to get a massive push in the WWE Women's Division based entirely on her surname, but the truth is she deserves a massive push based on the fact that she's just fantastic. She's got this engaging charisma that she's clearly inherited from her dad, where every so often she'll shoot the audience a look, or invite them to kiss her ass, and it's just FANTASTIC. Neidhart eventually went for her Sharpshooter, but couldn't get it locked. In fact, it was Sara who ended up with the move applied to Nattie, although Nattie was able to turn herself around and get out of the hold. It reached a point where both the exhausted warriors were just running at each other, clotheslining each other, but neither giving way. Eventually, Del Rey locked on the Butterfly hold, then flipped Neidhart into the powerslam for the three count. Holy hot damn, this was great... and while no-one would deny Nattie her chance to make it in the WWE, from a purely selfish standpoint, I'd love to have seen her work SHIMMER for longer than just these two Volumes. The Del Rey rivalry, for example, could have easily spread over several tapings. Plus, what about the possibility of a Neidhart vs. Cheerleader Melissa rematch from the Canadian SuperGirls taping? Or Neidhart vs. Martinez? Or imagine Neidhart vs. Haze? So many potential classics.
