WSU ON THE ROAD REPORT
WSU presented two matches this past weekend, both on the same date, but in two different continents!
The biggest news of the weekend was WSU Womens Champion, Mercedes Martinez, making the first ever international WSU Womens Championship Title Defense, making the championship a WORLD Womens Championship. On 8/1 in Karrinyup, Australia, Mercedes Martinez successfully defended the championship, defeating Bombshell Bo. This was a hard-fought match, as Bombshell Bo was not only the home-country favorite, but the home-town favorite. However, Martinez proved why she is a fighting champion, and a proud champion, as she was able to defeat Bombshell Bo.
Martinez, in a short text-message to WSUWrestling.com, said "I was very happy to represent WSU and bring this championship to a higher level. Bo was a great opponent and I don’t want to take anything from her, but I’m feeling in the best shape of my career. I eagerly await Nikki Roxx at ACE next week."
As Martinez said, Martinez has no chance to rest and perhaps will be jet-lagged when she defends her championship next, as Martinez will defend against Nikki Roxx, this Saturday night (8/8) at the huge ACE Wrestling event in Union City, NJ. Full ticket information & card information, featuring an indy dream match between ACE Champion Dan Maff & Colt Cabana, is all available at ACEProWrestling.com
Roxx stated to WSUWrestling.com earlier today that she is looking forward in regaining the WSU Championship, a title she held over a year ago. With the prestige and honor of the championship being risen to a higher level every time the belt is defended, Roxx said she will look to continue making the WSU World Womens Championship the most important womens championship today.
Martinez & Roxx broke into the business around the same time in the New England area and battled up and down the east coast from 2002-2006. These two have had great matches, and were part of what many called MATCH OF THE YEAR in 2006 when they were part of a ladder match for our partner NHPW promotion. Now, in 2009, both of these wrestlers are in their peak and in their prime and bring past experiences and their higher level of skill set to the ACE Arena on 8/8. This is the first time WSU has the honor of promoting this match under the WSU banner and WSU, in the interest of the great fans of ACE are proud to to present what could be an epic championship match.
We will also have full match details of the Martinez Australian title defense, plus pictures in a future update. For those wondering, the Martinez/Bombshell Bo match will be released on an upcoming NHPW DVD. We will have full information on that DVD release once it becomes available.
In other news, while Martinez was showing why she is the very best in womens wrestling in Australia, the longest ever reigning & defending champion in WSU history, Angel Orsini, continued her battle with 1/2 of the WSU Tag Team Champions, Brooke Carter.
Orsini, who had made a deal with Rain, has targeted Brooke Carter over the last two weeks. In videos that are available on WSU DVDs, we saw that Orsini & Rain have made a pact. Since Orsini can never get a WSU Title shot again until Martinez loses the championship, Rain, in a role reversal from earlier this year, has promised Orsini first crack at the WSU World Womens Championship if Orsini helps Rain defeat Martinez. However, before getting to the World Championship, Rain wants to completely dominate WSU from within, and has enlisted Orsini as her tag team partner in her quest to win the WSU Tag Team Championships.
Rain & Orsini will take on Brooke Carter & Alicia for those WSU Tag Team Championships on 8/22. However, Rain has booked Orsini on NWS events, in the hopes of weakening and softening up Brooke Carter.
Just last week, in Middletown, NJ, Rain with NWS offices, booked Orsini/Salvatore Sincere vs Brooke Carter/Hardcore Holly. Orsini won the match, but the damage wasn’t done. A one-on-one match was announced for 8/1 in Long Branch, NJ.
This past Saturday, on 8/1, Orsini & Carter did battle woman-to-woman for the first time ever. This was a see-saw battle, that saw Orsini put Carter through a grueling pace, wearing her down with many submissions. Orsini’s goal was to break Carter down mentally and also limb-by-limb, making her WSU Tag Team Championship match mostly a cinch on 8/22.
Carter, who perhaps is WSU’s Rookie of the Year, was about to mount a fiery comeback on the savvy veteran and had Orsini reeling. Orsini, who looked exhausted from the upstart’s offense, took a break to the outside. However, it was just a trap, as Orsini pummeled Carter through the crowd.
Once back in the ring, Orsini went to finish Carter off with a moonsault, but would crash and burn. Carter got a close 2. Orsini went for a school girl, and nearly exposed Carter’s backside during the cover. Despite this distraction, Carter was able to kick out.
Carter then went for her patented shining wizard, a move that helped win the WSU Tag Team Championships for her in the first place. As Carter went for the shining wizard, Orsini caught her and quickly hit her "KISS OF DEATH" (Flatliner) finisher for the 1-2-3.
While the goal going into this match was for Orsini to establish her dominance over Brooke, fans of WSU left showing that Carter is no-push over and this tag team championship match will be an all-out war on 8/22.
Orsini will have one last chance to weaken the tag team champions, on behalf of the orders of Rain, when Orsini teams up with Jessicka Havok & Hailey Hatred on 8/14 to battle with Martinez, Alicia & Carter. This will be Orsini’s last chance to soften up the champs for the 8/22 event, but with Havok/Hatred also interested in those same titles, will anyone step on anyone’s toes?
There has never been a more exciting time to be a WSU fan as the drama and competition is at an all-time high like never before.
