From the ROH News Wire:

Without question, the top two female competitors to emerge out of the St. Louis wrestling scene in recent years are SHIMMER Champion MsChif and Daizee Haze. Both women have several years of history with one another, both as training partners, adversaries, and as occasional teammates. There's no better place for MsChif and The Haze to have their first one-on-one match in ROH competition, than in front of the St. Louis area fans who have watched them from the start of their careers. On 12/5 in suburban St. Louis, these two Women of Honor will show their hometown fans what athletic female wrestling is all about in ROH. If MsChif is still SHIMMER Champion come 12/5, the title will be on the line!

The SHIMMER Championship will be on the line in Chicago on 11/22 as two of the best female wrestlers in the entire world will square off for the gold. Larry Sweeney leads the dominant Sara del Rey into battle against the formidable MsChif! Del Rey has been virtually unstoppable as of late, but the level of her recent competition pales in comparison to the current Shimmer and NWA World Women's Champion. Tired of the "Divas"? ROH is proud to present women's wrestling exactly as it should be!

Photos from MsChif's recent title defense against Rain from the most recent FIP show can be found over at the SHIMMER Forums and Top Rope Photography

FIP is very proud to announce that SHIMMER Champion MsChif will defend the title at the October 11th event. This will guarantee that the best womens wrestling will be in Crystal River. MsChif's challenger is very interesting. She will put the title up against Rain. What makes this match so unique is that both women are in The Age Of The Fall. What will happen when two great women athletes collide in Crystal River with the SHIMMER Title at stake?

How did your MsChif gimmick come about, did you think of it or was it somebody who gave you the idea?

The promotion I debuted with had asked for me to be a crazy character. Crazy, I just didn't quite have in me though. So instead trying to be something that just wasn't me, I let surface what was awaiting inside. The gimmick was born in my 1st match. I went out to the ring and gave them what I had and it has just developed along since.

Who's your favorite female athlete to work with, and if so -- Who's your least favorite female athlete to work with?

This has to be one of the hardest questions to answer. Seriously. By what terms would one base this on? How good they are technically? Challenging? Best in working against my character? Their psychological ability? How colorful of a character they display? The hilarity or brutality in their character's nature? I could easily come up with about a dozen different women all based on different reasons.

We've seen some of your stellar matches against the likes of Lacey, Amazing Kong, Cheerleader Melissa just to name a few. Out of all the matches you've done, what is your favorite match?

I'd have to answer this as the SHIMMER vol.9 match against Amazing Kong. Simply because she presents a challenge that no other woman can. If I can survive through the punishment of Kong, I can survive through anyone.

If you could wrestle someone that you haven't wrestled yet, who would that be?

Clarifying in a singles match, Sara Del Rey. Also, LuFisto, well other than on Fire Pro Wrestling Returns!

How did Diabolic Khaos come about and can we expect a reunion? Maybe with Daffney as your manager?

Delirious and I debuted together. Who can tell what the future will hold. We have actually had a couple reunions already. In the NWA midwest as well as back in our old stomping grounds of the St. Louis area.

You have had both male and female opponents throughout your career thus far. Do you feel as though male vs. female matches work as well as say male vs. male or female vs. female?

Sure they do. What's the difference from fighting a guy, or fighting a bigger and stronger woman? I just look at matches as wrestler vs. wrestler.

We have watched you wrestle in a variety of matches - Falls Count Anywhere matches, Cage matches and more. What stipulation do you feel most comfortable with, or is it traditional singles matches that do it for you?

I love wrestling in stipulation matches though I draw the line on death matches. I just have no interest in them for myself. While traditional matches can still be great, I love wrestling in any match different from the norm. I don't think I've ever been uncomfortable when given any type of stipulation match.

You have wrestled Mickie Knuckles and Daizee Haze (amongst others) several times throughout your career. How do you manage to keep each match fresh and unique?

The more you wrestle someone the easier it gets to come up with ways to counter or reverse moves you can feel them going for, so that will always bring in something new.

What was it like to wrestle in Japan? Was there anyone out there you really enjoyed to wrestle against during your stay? Any chance of you going to Japan again in the future?

Awesome! I loved wrestling against Yoshiko Tamura, she's a fantastic wrestler. I really enjoyed wrestling Tanny Mouse as well. She's just hilarious and fun.

How did you get started in the wrestling business? Was there anything in particular that really attracted you to wrestling and made you think "Yeah, this is what I'm supposed to be doing"?

I had always been a fan of wrestling. Someone had once asked me, "If there is one fun thing you'd like to do in your life what would that be?" I told them become a wrestler. Shortly after that I looked up the nearest wrestling school and went to check it out.

What is your favorite Disney movie?

If Disney ever did a horror film, perhaps then I'd consider it.

It's no secret that the WWE tones down their talents and the same thing can be said to TNA. There's also a rumor that the WWE shows interest towards you yet you declined the offer. Can you confirm that one? And if TNA offers you a deal, will you accept? Or if WWE pursues you again, will you accept it this time?

I've never heard of WWE ever having an interest in me, but I have no interest in them. I love having the freedom of doing my matches how I want to. As well as dressing and looking however I choose.

What are your thoughts on Daffney and who came up with the idea to pair you guys together? Would you ever be interested in having a match against her in Shimmer?

I love being paired with Daffney. I believe we were once conjoined twins separated at birth. I would never want to wrestle her in SHIMMER because I'd never want to leave her side.

What are your thoughts on notable women wrestlers of the past? Fabulous Moolah? Sherri Martel? Madusa? Luna Vachon? Leilani Kai? Wendi Richter? etc.

I praise them for sticking through all hardships of wrestling. Who knows, if the women would have given up before us, where would we even be today?

What are your thoughts about models being thrown out on the ring without extensive training? Also about Candice Michelle who seems to be following Trish Stratus's foot steps in regards to being a model turning into wrestler, what can you say about that one?

I don't watch WWE, I have no idea who Candice Michelle is.

If you could work with any current WWE diva, who would it be and why?

Beth Phoenix because she can really wrestle, I wouldn't know about any others.

What are your thoughts on the way the female wrestlers are portrayed in the WWE?

Are they still being portrayed as they always have been? Disgust.

Whats the funniest rumor you've heard about yourself?

I haven't actually heard many, other than supposedly having heat with TNA. Which seems funny to me. And by a previous question, WWE having any interest in me. I just don't think WWE would ever have any interest in MsChif. I don't show enough skin for them :)
