WSU News & Notes Coming out of Final Chapter iPPV Last Night, Plus Thoughts on the Show

February 18, 2011January 23, 2011 by Melanie

In case you missed last night’s WSU iPPV, Final Chapter, chances are you missed out on an incredible main event. More on that at the end of this article. But for now, here are some exclusive news and notes we have coming out of the iPPV last night.

* Mercedes Martinez bore the brunt of the injuries coming out of the ladder match with Angel Orsini. Thankfully, nothing too bad. Just some cuts to her fingers, wrist and back. She will miss no ring time.

* With Martinez’s status up in the air over the past couple of months (it had been expected that she would sign with AAA in Mexico), WSU’s plan to have Alicia cash in her ‘any time, anywhere’ contract at the end of the show and take the belt. Obviously, that didn’t happen although Alicia teased it. As Martinez won’t be heading to Mexico, the decision was made to keep the belt on her.

* The All Guts, No Glory Championship will be done away with and Mercedes will simply go by ‘WSU World Champion’.

Live Coverage of WSU Final Chapter iPPV: January 22nd, 2011

January 23, 2011January 22, 2011 by Melanie

Diva Dirt presents live play-by-play from WSU’s Internet pay per view, Final Chapter, taking place live from the ACE Arena in New Jersey. Stay tuned for a full report (and sarcastic opinion) from the pay per view.

Pay per view begins with a video package of the feud between Mercedes Martinez and Angel Orsini.

Inside the arena, there are three ladders set up and the two main event ladies are brought out to the ring for the opening segment.

Orsini says she only cares about keeping her All Guts, No Glory belt and winning back the WSU World Championship. Martinez says she’ll climb the ladder and grab both titles. She says that Orsini deserves respect and she understands her frustration, but her reign as AGNG Champ ends tonight.

The two women climb the ladder and hang up their belts, where they will hang for the remainder of the evening until the main event.

The women now stare down in the middle of the ring and trash talk before exiting.

The ring is being cleared of the ladders as we await our first match of the evening.

We are kicking off with Niya vs Athena.

There’s a mix up by the ring announcer as Niya is announced first but it’s actually Athena who comes out. Athena attacks Niya with a kick to the face as she makes her entrance and the match is under way.

Athena vs Niya
Niya hits a side-headlock on Athena, surprising Niya. She plays it up to the crowd and the referee before they begin battling again. Athena and Niya lock up and Niya applies an armlock. Athena with a front headlock but Niya reverses. Athena fights back and re-applies the front headlock and then goes for an arm lock. Niya rolls through and goes for a pin but Athena kicks out.

It’s good to see that they have an awesome crop of girls on both sides.”

WILD Wrestling Live Event Results: January 16th, 2011

January 18, 2011 by Melanie

Latest results from WILD Wrestling in LA:

Los Angeles, CA. – Changes had to be made to the announced WILD World Championship match last night at Pro Wrestling Entertainment in Los Angeles. Tabitha Buck, young cousin of TNA’s Generation Me, was unable to appear. “The Bloodthirsty Vixen” Amanda, who happened to be in the audience at the show, offered to take Tab’s place. WILD Owner Travis Leland allowed Amanda to be in the match, but could not allow it to be for the title.

“She’s lost every WILD match she’s been in,” said Leland. “I can’t let her have a title shot before the women who beat her get theirs.”

The match was fast and furious, with many lucha-libre-inspired moves. At one point, O’Shea pulled off a running hurricanrana, sending Amanda crashing to the mat. Amanda, however was noticeably larger and more powerful than the champion. Near the end of the match, as Amanda was in control of the firey redhead and the referee was distracted, O’Shea grabbed a nearby energy drink can and cracked Amanda in the head with it. With her opponent dizzied by the blow, Lucky rolled up Amanda for the victory.

Detailed Report & Pictures from ACW (Featuring 10,000 Tacks Match & Dog Collar Match)

February 18, 2020January 17, 2011 by Melanie

Diva Dirt reader Brandon sent along his report from the Anarchy Championship Wrestling show last night, which featured a huge 10,000 Tacks Match between Athena and Rachel Summerlyn. Later, Lady Poison defeated Portia Perez to become the new ACW American Joshi Champion in a Dog Collar Match.

Check out his report and pictures below:

Athena vs. Rachel Summerlyn – 10,000 Thumbtacks Match. HOLY S%#$!!!!! You talk about the Daffney taking crazy bumps. Well after seeing this match, You can do nothing else but to condole these two woman wrestlers by going through the punishment. Rachel is highly known for these death-style matches, so it was expected for her, and not Athena. Athena in person is H-O-T!! As for the match, to me, it was my pick of the two Joshi matches. Crazy spots on the tacks from both women, like Athena snapmaring Rachel on the tacks, Athena diving through the ropes on Rachel through chairs, Rachel hitting her signature Gory Bomb on Athena through the tacks, then pulling the Texas Cloverleaf on Athena on the tacks, but Athena’s Submission Squad buddies interfered, and broke up the hold. The end happened when Athena jumped from the stage on Rachel through a barbed-wire table full of tumbtacks with diving double knees on Rachel’s face, and got the three count.
