Results from Kong vs Martinez at EVOLVE 5 + Video Interview with Martinez

by

SHIMMER isn’t the only promotion in action this weekend, as WSU presented a blockbuster title match-up between Awesome Kong and Mercedes Martinez at EVOLVE 5 in Rahway, New Jersey. Results below courtesy of WSU:

September 2010 has been a great month so far for WSU World Champion Mercedes Martinez. Martinez, the greatest women’s wrestler in the world today, continued to show why she’s one of the best last night at EVOLVE, in a match part of WSU’s “On The Road” DVD series. Several days before this match took place, Martinez was ranked #3 in Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s “Top 50 Females of Wrestling”. This has always been a list compiled mostly of WWE & TNA women. Mercedes Martinez broke another barrier in women’s wrestling, and was the highest ranked independent wrestler on the list. While WSU fans understand that WWE & TNA women can not be ignored, many fans are saying that Martinez should have been number 1. However, fans will be happy to know that Martinez has dominated PWI’s weekly & monthly rankings at the number 1 spot, and is currently ranked number 1 in the world by PWI magazine.

Being the best women’s wrestler in the world and defending the biggest prize in womens wrestling today has been no easy feat for Martinez. In over an 18 month title reign, Martinez has had to turn back the challenges of the likes of Mickie James, Angel Orsini, Portia Perez, Hailey Hatred, Rain, Alicia, Angelina Love, Nikki Roxx, Brittney Savage, Melissa Coates, Amber O’Neal, Bombshell Bo & countless others. Martinez is the biggest target in womens wrestling today because she holds the most prestigious championship in all of womens wrestling today – the WSU World Championship, the most defended women’s championship in the United States today. It is easy to have long title reigns when champions are inactive, but in 18 months, Martinez has defended the World Championship a record 30 times, averaging almost 2 title matches a month during this span!

As part of WSU’s working relationship with Dragongate USA, Mercedes Martinez joined EVOLVE wrestling and quickly compiled a 4-0 record, defeating Niya, Sumie Sakai, Brittney Savage & Tina San Antonio. However, after each match, Martinez kept asking for more competition. She begged for the best. On 9/11/10, she got it, in the form of “Awesome” Amazing Kong. If Martinez was to defeat Kong, Martinez would’ve successfully defended the championship for the 30th time.

SPARKLE (Pre-Show)

SHIMMER Volume 33
1. Jessica James & Rachel Summerlyn def. Athena & Bonesaw Jessie Brooks. Rachel and Jessica win with a gory bomb/stunner combo on Athena. Good match by all the girls. Athena was the standout. Her moveset and spoiled brat gimmick is very entertaining.

2. Cat Power def. Jamilia Craft. tCat Power wins via uranage slam. Very slow paced match-up. Not the best showing from either girl, but a decent match.

Amber interviews Jessie McKay but Madison Eagles interferes and takes over the interview. Amber announces Melissa vs Madison for the title. Madison says, “It’s all about ME!”

3. Allison Danger def. Leva Bates. Danger wins via shimmering warlock. After the match Danger puts over Leva and Veronika Vice tries to run in and attack her. Danger asks why she’s here and Veronika says she wants her shot against Danger and challenges her for the next volume.

4. Melanie Cruise def. Taylor Made. Cruise wins via Cruise Control. Melanie completely dominated Made in a total squash match.

Melissa appears on screen and calls out Eagles. Says she’s tired of getting screwed out of the title. Says she going home with gold tonight.

5. Misaki Ohata def. Ariel. Ohata wins by submission. Surpisingly good match. Best I’ve seen Ariel in a long time. Misaki pulled out several submissions during the match-up.

Kellie Skater comes out and challenges anyone in the locker room. Her challenge is answered by Serena!!!

6. Serena def. Kellie Skater. Serena via spear. Skater dominated after Serena misses a spear in the corner, but makes the comeback in the end. The crowd goes wild and chants ‘Welcome back!’ Serena celebrates with the fans and looks very emotional. Very touching moment.

In Review: Pro-Wrestling: EVE’s “Episode 4: A New Hope (Chapter 1)”

by

May 2010 saw the launch of Europe’s very own all-female wrestling promotion to sit alongside the likes of SHIMMER, WSU and Femmes Fatales which have cornered the US and Canadian market in the past few years. Coming from former ChickFight producer, Dann Read, it was evident that EVE would be no flash in the pan based on the success of ChickFight’s transatlantic shows in the UK a few years back.

‘Episode 4: A New Hope (Chapter 1)’, a long winded title as it may be, is the first the DVD release from the Suffolk, England-based promotion, with a promise of spotlighting the best of Europe. The title is pretty confusing, especially for a fledgling company trying to work up an audience. “If this is episode four, where are the first three?” is one question that I suspect may be asked often. Then there’s the ‘Chapter 1’ sub-sub-title. To clarify on that, two DVDs worth of footage were filmed on May 8th, which I’m presuming is why this is ‘Chapter 1’, with ‘Chapter 2’ to follow.

The theme for the DVD is a spoof of Star Wars, a unique approach by a wrestling promotion, which should set it apart from the SHIMMERs and WSUs. The DVD artwork and opening of the show both bear a nod to Star Wars (complete with scrolling text going up the screen!), which while indeed camp, kitsch and silly, are pretty befitting of British humour and I likened it to the old ‘Carry On’ films that are very quintessentially British.

TNA No Surrender in Review: Was the Crowd Really Chanting That?

by

After several weeks of all the talking behind each others back, all the backstabbing, and catfights, FINALLY it’s Velvet Sky vs Madison Rayne in a grudge match… with Angelina Love and Tara both at ringside. Instead of  having the two fight woman to woman, my suspicions about outside interference were starting to look correct.

Madison Rayne is the first to make her entrance out to the ring accompanied by Tara on the motorcycle. I’m going to go ahead and assume that TNA Management seen my request regarding Tara and Madison because when they are on the ring apron, Tara decides to smack Madison’s a** before the two kiss each other.  The beautiful theme song continues to play as Velvet Sky makes her way on to the ramp with her BFF, Angelina Love. They do the usual “Dancing With The Stars” routine before strolling down to the ring, smiling like they’re friendship has never hit a slight speed bump.  While Velvet and Angelina were on the ring apron doing their vintage booty shake on the middle rope, Tazz makes it seems like Angelina has a bomb implanted inside of her boot. Wiring device? Really Tazz??

The match has finally started and it hasn’t even been a full 10 seconds before Tara takes it upon herself to grab Velvet’s foot before throwing her hands up innocently causing the ref to get distracted with her, giving Madison the opportunity to take a cheap shot at Velvet. Madison then takes Velvet and slams her head into the turnbuckle before using her boot to start choking Velvet. At this point I’m trying to figure out if the Impact Zone is chanting what I thought they were chanting or was it just me hearing voices because of Madison’s short shorts.  After the  ref warns her about the boot to the throat, Madison takes a shot at Velvet and turns around to Angelina, striking a pose while Tara begins to fan herself.

PPV Predictions: TNA No Surrender 2010

by

Former Beautiful People partners, Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky, face off tonight in a huge grudge match. Which Knockout will come out on top? We weigh in…

Cryssi: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; this match, for all intents and purposes, should be a title match! Unfortunately, it’s not. Womp womp. I will say that I love the fact Madison versus Velvet is going to come to a head on pay-per-view. These two deserve to have a huge payoff match because they’ve both worked their asses off to make their feud come alive. Velvet is nothing but gold on the mic and in her acting segments, and because of her high level, Madison has had to pick it up. She’s done just that. The break-up of this version of the Beautiful People was really well done and I hope neither woman holds anything back come Sunday. I want to see weaves ripped out. I want to see clothes ripped off (granted they actually wear them). I want Madison and Velvet to put on one hell of a show and prove to everyone that they don’t need Tara and Angelina to carry them. My prediction to win is Velvet Sky. She needs a massive singles victory to elevate her as a competitor tonight she gets just that.

David: Tonight at No Surrender, TNA presents a show with extreme stipulations and championship matches. Oh, and don’t forget, there will also be a special ‘grudge match’ between Madison Rayne and her former BP buddy Velvet Sky. A ‘grudge match’, huh? Sounds great. I’m pretty sure that’s Latin for ‘nothing important will happen tonight’. Madison wants to get her hands on Velvet so she can eventually get her hands on Angelina’s title. Tara came back to help her even the odds against the BP. (OH, so Tara WAS the mystery biker?!) Not a bad subplot except I thought Tara lost her career a few months ago. Oh well. I think Velvet wins Sunday night, but the real action is when the Knockouts Title is eventually on the line, or when we get a tag team ‘grudge match’ that shows if Tara’s allegiance is for real.

Jennifer: Although I should’ve seen this coming, the announcement of this grudge match on last Thursday’s Impact caught me off guard. The buildup has been good and considering we just saw the other obvious option for a match (the original Beautiful People vs. Madison & Tara), I’m glad at least one women’s match is on the PPV. My money’s on Velvet due to her and Angelina losing last Thursday, plus I think people are ready to see Madison get her ass handed to her by her other former partner.
