The Women of Wrestling podcast returns with the WSU World Womens Champion, “The Latina Sensation” Mercedes Martinez. We preview the upcoming “Icon vs Icon” match at WSU’s Uncensored Rumble III in Union City, NJ on June 26th, and take the opportunity to discuss the career of one of the finest wrestlers in the world today, regardless of gender. Martinez has worked pretty much everywhere of note, so we take a spin around most of those stops, to discuss things like working a SEVENTY minute match against Angel Orsini, putting SHIMMER on the map with Sara Del Rey, interest from WWE, violence in IWA-MS and ChickFight, being knocked literally unconscious in the ring at ROH, constantly dislocating shoulders, taking wrestling’s next step with EVOLVE… and yes, even Wrestlicious.

Great interview!!
I think it was so important you guys touched on the Kellie Skater/Chest subject, a lot of people were so quick to comment but as Mercedes said, they probably were never there and have never watched SHIMMER so their judgements are totally unjustified. And YES there is other womens wrestling out there!! Y’all need to quit depending on WWE for something that can never be because it’s so inconsistent. TNA too, look at them now, their womens division ain’t hot right now.

Fantastic interview! Mercedes is amazing,had no idea she’d been in the business for 10 years. She just keeps getting better and better. Glad she talked about the Kellie Skater thing too, that was pretty funny! It was self defense! And I agree, as long as all parties involved are fine with it, then there should be no problem. I love the fact that Kellie was strong enough & willing to take those chops. If it were me, I’d be proud of those battle scars as well.
