WSU News, Notes, Video Interviews & Results

November 15, 2010 by Melanie

WSU issued the following:

MERCEDES MARTINEZ RETAINS WSU WORLD TITLE FOR 34th TIME

This past Saturday, on 11/13, the WSU World Champion once again defended her WSU World Championship, but this time under interesting circumstances. ACE Diamond Division Champion Eddie Kingston teamed up with WSU World Champion Mercedes Martinez to take on the unlikely duo of Rob Vegas & Alicia. If Vegas & Alicia won, they would become champions.

Alicia teamed up with Vegas for one reason – to get a shot at the championship that she built up from day one. The former 2-time champion was there for the gold.

The match itself was a very heated contest between champions and challengers. Vegas, the glory hound, cost his team the match when Alicia had Mercedes Martinez laid out with a michinoku driver. Vegas wanted to win the match for his team and tagged himself in. What he wasn’t expecting was to walk right into a killer backfist, courtesy of “The King of Diamonds” Eddie Kingston. After eating the shot heard around Union City, Mercedes Martinez was able to pin Vegas to ensure that her championship reign would go on.

After the match, Vegas blamed Alicia for the loss. Vegas actually went as far as to attack Alicia. In a sign of sportsmanship, Kingston & Martinez chased Vegas off. Martinez & Alicia shook hands after the match. After seeing these two compete against each other again, one can only hope that Martinez/Alicia II happens sometime down the road.

Mickie James Discusses Why She Joined TNA, Comments on Brawl with Tara at Turning Point

November 9, 2010 by Melanie

It was perhaps the biggest acquisition ever made for the Knockouts division when Mickie James signed with the company a couple of months ago. Speaking for the first time on her official website, Mickie discusses why she joined TNA.

Read below:

I think a lot of people know (TNA President) Dixie Carter attended my CD release party in Nashville in May, so we were talking. I was entertaining the move for a while. I think what made it click was working an independent gig where friends of mine were there. It made me remember why I got in wrestling in the first place. It was my genuine love for wrestling. I think sometimes it becomes a business and you forget the important details. Now I feel like I have a renewed spirit. I remember why I got into the business and it’s that love. I know that Dixie is behind me 100% with the music too. We’re going to try to work both of the schedules together. One hand feeds the other. She gets that. She wants me to be successful and to pursue music or acting if I so choose. She knows I’m representing TNA with everything that I do. That’s not a liberty that you often have in any business. I think that’s a really cool thing. It gives everybody power over their own destiny. It allows you to go after your dreams and do what you want to do. You’re still an individual.

James also discussed her big match/brawl with Tara this past Sunday:

November 8, 2010 by Melanie

As well as the live iPPV (results here), WSU taped a second show afterwards which will be distributed on iPPV and DVD at a later date. Complete results from the second taping below courtesy of WSU.

Angel Orsini came out to talk about making her All Guts No Glory Championship the biggest prize in WSU. Orsini said she’d take on anyone. The Cosmo Club came out. Brittney Savage, who has been trying to recruit Orsini for the Cosmo Club since April 2010, said that if any member of the Cosmo Club could defeat Orsini, then not only was the AGNG Championship hers, but Orsini would have to join the Cosmo Club. Orsini accepted.

MATCH ONE

Angel Orsini d. Rick Cataldo in 10 seconds
Angel Orsini d. Cindy Rogers
Angel Orsini d. Jana
Angel Orsini d. Melissa Coates via tapout

Angel made it clear that these were 5 more victims, and said she would wipe out everyone in WSU until there was no one left until WSU was forced to rescind the Ironwoman stipulation and finally give her a WSU World Title match.

Live Coverage of WSU’s iPPV (November 6th, 2010): Mercedes Martinez vs Jazz, Homicide’s Challenge, Alicia vs Angel Orsini, Serena, ODB & More

November 7, 2010November 6, 2010 by Melanie

Diva Dirt presents live play-by-play from WSU’s Internet pay per view taking place live from the ACE Arena in New Jersey. The show begins at 5.30pm ET and can be viewed via GoFightLive.tv. Stay tuned for a full report (and sarcastic opinion) from the pay per view.

Show begins with ring announcer Destiny announcing that we are live for WSU on iPPV!

Our opening segment will be an award ceremony with Mercedes Martinez (who ranked #3 on the PWI Female 50) being honored by Pro Wrestling Illustrated.

But before that can happen — Homicide’s music hits in the arena. After what seems like the longest minute ever, he finally comes out and hits the ring.

Homicide takes the microphone (which is super quiet by the way, so I’ll do the best I can). He says he wants all the women to come out to the ring. The entire roster makes their way down to ringside and surrounds the ring. Homicide exchanges words with Amy Lee at ringside. Mercedes Martinez’s music hits now and she makes her way down to the ring.

Homicide addresses Mercedes and compliments WSU from what I can hear. He thanks Mercedes Martinez and the ladies at ringside for making wrestling what it should be. The Cosmo Club enter the ring and interrupt. Rick Cataldo says he’s sick and tired of Mercedes Martinez and calls her overrated. Cataldo says he has a two page spread in the latest Pro Wrestling Illustrated. He says between Martinez and Homicide, all we need in the ring is a pinata (racist much?). He says the spotlight belongs on the Cosmo Club because they are WSU. The crowd begins chanting ‘Eric Cartman’. Cataldo says if Homicide wants to come to WSU and team with real queens, they could give him a makeover. He says we should call Homicide, ‘Homo-cide’ and slaps his cap off. Homicide hits the Ace Crusher on Cataldo and the rest of the Cosmo Club quickly leave the ring.
