River City Wrestling held a show yesterday in Texas with Alissa Flash and Mercedes Martinez on tap. Results and pictures below courtesy of Brandon.
Last night, everyone expected some intergender action from Alissa Flash as she was suppose to take on Jax Dane and Ray Rowe for the RCW title. Frankly, that wasn’t the case. The night started off with RCW founder Brandon Oliver, and co-commissioners Jeremy Sage and Ray The Voice the ring. Ray the Voice, along with Ray Rowe, announced that Alissa Flash was removed from the title match because he want no “broads” to represent the company as champion. He had paperwork to where Flash can’t compete for the title. That enraged Sage, and he turned heel, quit his job as commissioner and stormed out. Oliver agree to make the match “No Countouts and No DQ” for Jax Dane vs. Ray Rowe. BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
After the first match, Ray the Voice was in the ring, and out comes Alissa Flash, all pissed off. She said that Ray screwed her out of the title, twice now, and either demands to compete with any male talent or Ray himself. Ray responded by having a team of male wrestlers fight Flash and a partner of her choosing, but claims that there is no one in the back that wants to pair up with her. Correction, there is one – Mercedes Martinez! Her music started playing and she got the mic and told Alissa that she had some great matches with her, and it would be her pleasure to team up with her, and face two MEN in a tag match. She also stated that “women are the stronger sex” and whoever Voice picks for them will step in the ring with the best wrestlers in the world.
Fast forwarding to the match, Mercedes and Alissa (sidenote – came out to “My Chick Bad” by Ludacris. lol) wrestled the team of “Mr. Beautiful” Rudy Russo and his partner “Playboy” Andy Dalton. Lots of comedy spots in this match. Dalton struts like Ric Flair and shows his body to the crowd (insert puke). They had a “Sex Off” to see who shows more sex appeal, and obviously Alissa and Mercedes won that battle. Then they had a knip-up battle to see who kips up better. Flash did hers flawlessly, but Dalton stumbled twice, until Russo came in and assist him, but the women haters got double clotheslined by Flash. The girls then struck the boys in the back with chops, which sails them out to the floor, then come charge at them, pump the brakes, and chop them to their backs. The girls tried it again, but Alissa slides out to the floor, which scared the boys back in to the ring, where Mercedes is right behind them, and double chops them to the back, and give them a double clothesline.
WSU World Champion, Mercedes Martinez is set to debut for AAA in Mexico next year. I’m told that a deal is in place for Martinez to move to Mexico and take up a full-time spot in the company within the first quarter of 2011. Martinez was referred to AAA booker, Konnan under the guise that … Read more

Flash, who is a former RCW World Champion, will compete in a triple threat match to win the vacant World Championship.
Details below:
iver City Wrestling — San Antonio’s brand of professional wrestling — will hold an event on Saturday, December 11 at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church Activity Center, 1630 Goliad Road in San Antonio, TX. The event will begin at 8 p.m. and the doors open at 7:30 p.m.

In the main event, it will be a “Triple Threat Match” for the vacant RCW Championship as it will be Alissa Flash vs. Jax vs. Ray Rowe. The former champion, Alissa Flash, will have to overcome the odds as she wrestles two giants of the squared circle, Jax and Ray Rowe. Flash was champion until last month when she was forced to compete in a challenge arranged by Co-Commissioner Ray The Voice. Due to an attack from Rowe, Flash was unable to compete and lost by forfeit. Now she must play the role of the ultimate underdog! Jax and Rowe have been completely dominant since entering RCW, and it will be every man and woman for themselves in this Triple Threat Match!

WSU World Champion, Mercedes Martinez made her 31st title defense over the weekend, beating WSU Tag Team Champions Jana and Cindy Rogers in a triple threat match. Get all the news below:
Mercedes Martinez Defends WSU World Championship For the 31st Time
What more can we here at Women Superstars Uncensored (WSU) say about Mercedes Martinez? Mercedes Martinez, the greatest womens wrestler today, defended the WSU World Championship for a record 31st time this past Saturday night. Mercedes Martinez has made more defenses of her WSU World Title than any other woman champion today. Martinez is the longest reigning champion in womens wrestling right now and without a shadow of a doubt has made the WSU World Title the most prestigious championship in all of womens wrestling today.
At ACE Pro Wrestling, on 10/16, Martinez defended her world title against the WSU Tag Team Champions, Jana & Cindy Rogers, in a triple threat match. The match started off as one would expect, as Jana & Rogers took turns beating down the fighting champion. However, Martinez would fight back and eventually neutralize her opponent’s advantage.
Despite working together as a unit, Jana & Rogers seemed to make several mistakes. Martinez was able to capitalize. While Rogers had Martinez up for a fireman’s carry, Rogers went to spin with Martinez to get more power, but accidentally bumped into Jana. Jana went flying. The small mistake was costly for Rogers, as Martinez took advantage of Rogers confusion and rolled her up for the 1-2-3.
For Rogers & Jana, frustration set in. Both women have had shots at the WSU World Championship in the past, but neither have been able to win that prestigious championship. Again, Martinez proved why she is the best in the world.
After the match, Rogers & Jana, the WSU Tag Team Champions, representing the Cosmo Club, viciously attacked Martinez from the back. The attack would be short-lived, as the #1 contenders to the WSU Tag Team Championships, Tina San Antonio & Marti Belle, collectively known as The Belle Saints, ran in to help Martinez.
The Saints chased the WSU Tag Team Champions out of the ring, the very tag team champions the Saints will be facing on 11/6 when WSU debuts on iPPV.
Mercedes Martinez thanked the Saints for their help and gave the Saints her endorsement, calling the current WSU Tag Team Champions, “Paper Champs”.
The world’s #3 and #4 ranked female wrestlers (courtesy of the PWI Female 50) faced off once again this past Saturday night at River City Wrestling in San Antonio, TX. RCW Heavyweight Champion, Alissa Flash (Cheerleader Melissa, ranked #4 on PWI Female 50 2010) and Mercedes Martinez (#3) headlined the event in a rematch to their bout last month. Diva Dirt reader, Brandon, sent in the following:
Coming off a big match last month, current RCW Champion Alissa Flash put the gold on the line once again against Mercedes Martinez, this time with no interference from Joey Spector (Mercedes’ boyfriend), the Texas Hitmen, and the Karate Kids.
The match, like last month, did not disappoint. The first third of the match had great exchange of holds from both Martinez and Flash, the striking game picked up in the second third of the match with Martinez’s strong-style chop to Flash exchange of strikes. One of my favorite moments was when Flash was attempting the Curb Stomp, Mercedes countered into a Curb Stomp of her own! The matched ended when both girls try to hit their finishers, up until Alissa Flash hits the Air Raid Crash on Mercedes for the win, thus retaining the RCW Championship. After the match, Flash wanted to extends the hand to Martinez, when Joey Spector shows up and tries to talk Merceds into not doing it and just walk away. Did Mercedes buy that? HELL TO THE NAW! Mercedes and Alissa exchange strikes to Spector and kick his hairy behind to the curb. Spector then said to Martinez, “It’s over!” Like Mercedes really cared for him, because early in the show, Spector kicked the Hitmen to the curb when they lost their match. The night end with Flash and Martinez raising arms and were acknowledged as PWI’s #3 and #4!

Diva Dirt reader, Brandon, sent in the following report and pictures from last night’s RCW event in San Antonio, which was headlined by Alissa Flash vs Mercedes Martinez for the RCW Championship:
Last night’s RCW show was amazingly good. It had everything you want out of professional wrestling – straight-up pure wrestling and enjoyable segments. All the action was great, but the one thing that stood out to me more about last night’s event was the main reason I went to the show in the first place – Alissa Flash (AKA Cheerleader Melissa) vs. Mercedes Martinez!
When I found out that Mercedes is coming to RCW in my hometown, I was marking out! Like that got me sold to actually going to this event. I felt disappointed not going when Alissa Flash became RCW Champion, the first female to win the company’s top prize, showing that Alissa ain’t one to play around with, female or not. She is, pound for pound, one of the greatest women wrestlers in, not just the US, but in the world. The same can be said for Mercedes Martinez, another pound for pound athlete, and one of the women that put SHIMMER on the map with her fued with Sara Del Rey, along with Melissa’s fued with Mschif. And with these two in the same ring together, mono-on-mono, I know will expect some great stuff between the two. Now, enough praising the two, and let’s get to the action.
