It's not been the easiest of years for Mercedes Martinez despite being perhaps her most successful ever. After a long feud with Angel Orsini, Martinez finally won the WSU Women's title and has since defended it against some of the best women wrestlers in the States and Australia. But now on December 12that the American Legion Hall in Flemington Martinez has to defend her title against none other than Awesome Kong. Martinez had been scheduled to defend her belt against number one challenger Rain but her Mexican commitments mean she won't be able to make the show. So now Martinez faces the prospect of taking on the former TNA Knockouts Champion with Rain still forecast to get a title shot in early 2010.
Here WSU take a look at the card in depth.
Breaking Down The Matches
WSU WORLD TITLE MATCH
UNCENSORED RULES - MUST BE A WINNER!
(c) MERCEDES MARTINEZ vs AWESOME KONG
BREAKING NEWS: RAIN SENDS AWESOME KONG TO WSU ON 12/12!
WSU officials got a message from Rain in Mexico this week and that message was that she will be unable to appear for WSU on 12/12 as previously advertised. Rain, who is becoming a fixture of the AAA promotion in Mexico had her tour extended by AAA. Due to her tour, Rain will be in Mexico on December 12th.
When hearing the news, Mercedes Martinez was outraged. Martinez said: "Rain tries to end my career on 10/3 and she knows her time is coming and she pulls out of our match? That is BS! I will go to Mexico if I have to, beat your ass in AAA, then drag you to WSU where I will finish you off once and for all."
Martinez's plans though will have to be on hold. Rain said while she is in Mexico, she is sending another one of enforcers to deal with Martinez that night - Awesome Kong!
This first time ever match in the east coast has been signed and will take place on December 12th. This promises to be a match of epic proportions, and if Martinez's title wasn't in jeopardy before, it certainly is now.
Since Rain signed a contract with Martinez making the match an UNCENSORED RULES match, meaning there must be a winner, Martinez will have to either pin or submit Kong to retain her world title, a feat no one in WSU has ever done.
Rain said, "While I am in Mexico on December 12th, trust me, there's nothing else I'd like to do but finally end Martinez's World Title reign. I would apologize to WSU fans for being unable to make it, but those fans haven't been kissing the ground I walk on and when I come back, I expect all the fans to kiss the ground I walk on like the fans of AAA do.
Mercedes, I have made it known from day one in WSU when I debuted a year ago that all I wanted was the WSU World Title. My contract with AAA prevents me from fulfilling my destiny, my quest, to become WSU World Champion in person on December 12th. However, that doesn't mean I won't be WSU World Champion by the end of the year. You see, Awesome Kong may work for TNA 364 days out of the year, but on December 12th, she works for me. She does what I say. She does what I ask. SHE IS MY EMPLOYEE.
On December 12th, Kong has explicit instructions to DESTROY, DOMINATE and DECIMATE. When Kong wins the WSU World Title, she will hand deliver it to me, for a price of course, that we already negotiated. It's a shame, you should've sold me the World Championship when you had the chance, and save yourself a hospital room visit. Awesome Kong has won many womens championships from the NWA Womens Championship to the TNA Womens Championship and on December 12th, she will win the most important championship, the most defended womens championship in the world, the WSU World Womens Championship. Once Kong leaves Flemington, NJ and boards her flight to Mexico, with my championship in her travel-bag, and she arrives in Mexico City, maybe I'll defend the WSU World Championship in Mexico. Then again, maybe I won't, because let's be honest, no fan deserves to see me up in the flesh, as no one is worthy.
Mercedes Martinez, you are in for the biggest fight of your career on December 12th. It's a shame I won't be there to witness it. When Awesome Kong gives you her implant buster and her Awesome Bomb, and you're sitting there in a world of pain, I just want you to remember, it's all because of me, the Radiant Rain. See you in 2010 chica, then again, that's if you make it."
Mercedes Martinez, hearing what Rain had to say, issued the following statement to WSUWrestling.com:
"Rain, you want to keep ducking me. How many enforcers you going to send? You tried with Angel, and Angel saw the light. You tried with Nikki Roxx, and I beat her. You tried with Jamie D and she's gone too. You tried sending Jessicka Havok & Hailey Hatred after me, and guess what, I won the tag team titles from them with the person you failed to corrupt in Angel Orsini.
Now you want to send Awesome Kong. I am not going to lie. Awesome Kong is one of the best wrestlers in the world today. You know I'm injured and you know I need surgery right now. I sucked up all my injuries and put surgery on the backburner so I can get my hands on you, not Kong. Kong wants to take your money? I understand money makes the world goes around, but Rain you underestimate what the WSU World Title means to me. This championship is the pinnacle of womens wrestling today. Awesome Kong will find that out on 12/12.
Rain, come hell or highwater, I will get my hands on you. I am challenging you right now for a match at the WSU Third Anniversary show next year. I will win my championship. This championship means everything to me, but in the event that I lose it, I don't care if I have the belt or not, I want you at the WSU Third Anniversary show. You can no longer duck me anymore. Send in Awesome Kong. Just think Rain, if I defeat Awesome Kong, what do you think I'm going to do to you?
Awesome Kong, we have a history here in WSU and have competed in tag matches, but never one-on-one. Girl, I look forward to stepping in the ring with you. I want nothing more but Rain's head on a plate right now, but if I have to go through you to get to Rain so be it. No one is taking this championship from me. Many say you are the best in the world, and Kong, On 12/12 I will prove to you, to WSU, to the fans, to the critics, that I am the best in the world today. Bring your best Kong because I'm bringing mine. Rain, hide out in Mexico because it's only a matter of time before the hurricane known as the Latina Sensation storms through you."
WSU officials, while not thrilled with Rain for pulling off of 12/12 and booking her own replacement, has studied the situation and has signed the match. We at WSU respect the opportunity Rain has in a major company, but do not respect the way she has conducted herself in her path to become WSU World Champion. While WSU is not thrilled with Rain's mind games, manipulations and disgusting sneak attacks, WSU agrees with Rain that Awesome Kong is a suitable replacement for 12/12.
Martinez vs Kong, for the first time ever on the east coast, only in WSU. This is a match that promises to re-write the record books and could be Martinez's toughest challenge yet.
While WSU agreed with Rain by booking Kong vs Martinez, WSU also agreed with Mercedes Martinez. Despite who walks out as champion on 12/12, Martinez vs Rain will be signed for the WSU Third Anniversary show, which will take place sometime in 2010. In fact, because of all the tricks, sneak attacks, plots, ploys and games, WSU will allow Mercedes Martinez to choose what type of match she wants it to be with Rain.
In the event that Kong wins the WSU World Championship, and hands it over to Rain, Martinez vs Rain will be a World Title match at the 3rd Anniversary show.
In the event that Kong wins the WSU World Championship and realizes that Rain is just using her, Kong will make a title defense against Angel Orsini at the 3rd Anniversary show. WSU feels that Orsini deserves a World Title match, and since she can not get a shot at Martinez while Martinez is still currently champion due to a prior stipulation, we feel Kong vs Orsini will be a much deserved title match.
Of course, if Martinez successfully retains against Kong, it will be Martinez vs Rain for the WSU World Title at the 3rd Anniversary show in 2010.
What more can we say? Martinez vs Kong on December 12th. If you haven't experieced WSU yet or haven't ordered tickets yet- now is the time, as this match promises to explosive.
ANGEL ORSINI VS JAZZ
If Rain/Martinez wasn't enough for you, we still have at least 5 other matches taking place on 12/12. Perhaps the biggest of those matches is when former WSU World Champion Angel Orsini takes on former WWE Womens Champion, Jazz! These two careers have been parallel as well as perpendicular to each other (our last trigonometry reference this press release) since the late 1990's. It all intersects (sorry, last trig reference, we swear) on 12/12/09!
Jazz is a welcome addition to the WSU roster. Like Orsini, Jazz made her name known in the original ECW. From there, while Orsini traveled abroad and dabbled into MMA, Jazz went to the WWE, where she won the WWE Womens Championship on several occasions. While Orsini was out of the limelight, Jazz had all the lights on her.
Things have changed in 2009. orsini is coming off of one of the best championship reigns in womens wrestling history. Jazz has now been out of the limelight, but looks to return to the grand stage when she takes on Angel Orsini.
Orsini & Jazz are no strangers to each other, having several battles in Philly earlier this decade. But now both women are better and more experienced and look to present a true classic on 12/12.
In fact, this match was Orsini's idea. Orsini, asking for the very best in WSU since she can no longer get a title shot, asked WSU to acquire the services of Jazz. Jazz and WSU are a great match, as one of the greats in womens wrestling finally comes to the strongest womens wrestling promotion in America today.
There is no hatred to speak of between these two, as these two are wrestling out of pride and to test each other to see who's the very best.
Will Jazz still have "it" and show that she is not here for just one show and here to prove that she belongs in WSU for the long-haul by defeating Orsini? Or will Orsini prove that she's still the same championship-caliber wrestler she's been since day one? This will be an electric battle between these extreme stars and a match that could build WSU's foundation as we enter 2010.

NIKKI ROXX VS CINDY ROGERS
In a match we've actually seen before in WSU, Rogers & Roxx, staples from WSU's 2007 days, will lock up one more time in 2009. These two have had excellent matches with each other in the past. In fact, when Roxx, the former WSU World Champion, was in possession of the championship, she made her first defense against Rogers. These two are no strangers to each other.
This match will determine future championship matches. Roxx is coming off two failed attempts against Martinez. Rogers is in the middle of a comeback, as Rogers missed alot of time in 2008-2009 due to injuries and a car accident. These two stars who have fought for the WSU Championship before are looking to get back into the mix and earn their right to become WSU World Champion.
However, this match will be different than their previous battles, as Roxx seems to have an alliance with Rain and will do anything to win. This match might not be about respect, it will be about getting the job done. Will Roxx be able to get back onto the winning track or will Rogers get back onto the championship road? This will be a match not to be missed.

AMBER O'NEAL VS SUMIE SAKAI
In a first time ever match in WSU, the Undefeated 4-0 Amber O'Neal will take on WSU newcomer Sumie Sakai. Sumie is no stranger to wrestling, having made her presence felt in the northeast area years before. However, t his Japanese import returned to Japan then moved to Georgia to pursue an MMA career. However wrestling has always been Sumie's first love, and Sumie looks to get into the swing of things by dealing Amber O'Neal her first loss in WSU.
Amber O'Neal, the vibrant personality who has made no whims about how she wrestles her matches, employing mind games and trickery, has picked up wins over Annie Social, Cindy Rogers, Sassy Stephanie & 2009 WSU Hall of Famer Malia Hosaka. Each time, Amber has been able to catch her opponent with her roll over backslide. No one has been able to kick out of this innovative manuever. Amber is already making grumblings about wanting a WSU World title shot and if she could defeat a world reknowned star like Sumie Sakai, Amber might deserve just that.
Sumie Sakai has made it known that she wants part of WSU as we enter 2010. A win here would ensure her a spot on the full-time roster, but the gritty "Dirty South" style of Amber O'Neal stands in her way. This is another match that should have future championship implications.

JANA & WSU SPIRIT CHAMPION BRITTNEY SAVAGE W/RICK CATALDO VS ALICIA & LATASHA
In a match that features two former Spirit Champions, a two-time WSU World Champion and the current WSU Spirit Champion, this match will certainly be hard fought and personal. This match features one of WSU's hottest & longest rivalries with WSU newest and perhaps most personal rivalry. This is also a match that will surely determine matches for the 3rd Anniversary show.
Jana & Latasha, formerly known as The Soul Sisters, officially broke up on 1/10/09 when Jana attacked a who she thought was pregnant Latasha. It was revealed later that night that Latasha wasn't pregnant, but the fact that Jana would attack someone that she thought was pregnant was digusting, vile and one of the worst things we've ever seen in WSU.
Since then, these two have been battling up and down the east coast for almost a year. On 8/14, Latasha wa s able to defeat Jana in a tournament final to become the first ever WSU Spirit Champion. Latasha would then defend the championship against Jana on 8/22 in a wild brawl.
Later on that day, to show Jana she was playing the mind cames and now in control of this feud, Latasha distracted Jana during her match with Jennifer Cruz. The result? Cruz pinned Jana to earn her first win in WSU. Jana snapped in the ring, but wouldn't take Latasha trying to get the upper-hand laying down.
After Latasha defeated Amber on 8/22 Jana snapped again and beat up Latasha in the locker room. We would find out later on that Jana couldn't take losing, and put a plan into attack. This was phase one, as she weakened the Spirit Champion.
On 10/3, Jana avenged a loss to Jennifer Cruz. Jana injured Cruz after the match, by not letting go of her Jana-Vice, a submission hold yet to be broken in WSU. Latasha would go on to face Lea Morrison. During the match, Jana attacked Lea, giving Latasha a DQ victory, a win that she didn't want that way. However, Jana riled up Lea for messing with her WSU Spirit Championship match and knowing Latasha was a crowd pleaser, goaded Morrison & Latasha to agree to a triple threat match for the WSU Spirit Championship at the next DVD taping. Phase two was executed.
During the triple threat match for the WSU Spirit Championship, Jana allowed Lea/Latasha to argue about who would try to beat Jana. It was a plan Jana knew would work, although Jana would have to take a beating or perhaps, "rope-a-dope" her way into victory. When Lea had Latasha on the outside, Jana's true viciousness and mean spirit came through as she purposely injured Lea Morrison, giving Morrison a concussion. With Latasha on the outside, Jana pinned Morrison and under the triple threat rules, became new champion, despite Latasha not being factored into the decision.
However, Jana's reign would be short-lived. One week later, in the first ever EMPTY ARENA match in womens wrestling history, Latasha defeat ed Jana by choking her out with a cord. This match will be released on an upcoming DVD. Latasha won back the championship. However, she wouldn't hold it for long. In a match originally billed as Latasha vs Becky Bayless, Brittney Savage came in and just like Jana a week ago, goaded Latasha into putting her championship on the line in a triple threat match.
Latasha would be screwed out of her title for the second time in two weeks, as Savage would bash Becky Bayless over the head with the championship and pick up the win. Again, Latasha lost her championship in a match where she wasn't even beat! Savage became the new WSU Spirit Champion, a prize she sought out for the second she turned on Alicia.
Alicia is no stranger to WSU. The former 2-time WSU World Champion would take a break from wrestling, starting after her last match on 12/22/07 when she lost the WSU Championship to Sunny, after her plan with Becky Bayless was foiled. Where would WSU go without its rock? Since WSU's inception, Alicia was the flag bearer and the workhorse of the company. She was the one that put WSU on the map and she helped mold WSU into the company it is today.
Despite losing Alicia, WSU moved on and new great talents emerged. WSU actually became a bigger company and more known, but it would've never happened with Alicia's contributions from the beginning. Alicia opened the doors for womens wrestling to be successful in this area. It is through the likes of Alicia that WSU was able to exist and showcase a rookie tag team, Miss April & Brooke Carter.
Miss April & Brooke Carter would stun the womens wrestling world when they defeated the Beatdown Betties on 2/7/09 to win the WSU Tag Team Championships. Carter/April would take on all comers, but their reign would be short-lived, when Miss April became the first home-grown WSU star to make it to the WWE. With her career and future ahead of her, Miss April moved on to the WWE, leaving Carter without a partner. With an upcoming defense against Havok/Hat red on 6/6/09, what would Carter do?
Carter would announce a mystery partner for 6/6, but Carter, leading up to the match, made it clear that she didn't know if this person would even show up. When Carter stood in the ring to take on Havok/Hatred, her partner was no where to be found. Carter would be doing this solo.
During the middle of the match, the lights would go out and when they appeared back on, Alicia was waiting on the apron. After almost two years away from the game, ALICIA was ready for in-ring action. Alicia would later on go on to say she had to consider about coming back but then said "Hey I'm a girl, I'm sorry if I'm late." Alicia would tag in and run rough-shod, and Alicia & Carter defeated Havok & Hatred to cement themselves as WSU Tag Team Champions.
However, as the summer of 2009 endured, we saw that Carter becoming the perceived weak-link of the team. It was Alicia making the save, Alicia becoming the house of fire and Alicia getting the lions share of fans attention. Carter, arguably WSU's Rookie of the Year for 2009, felt she was standing in Alicia's shadow. When Alicia & Carter lost the WSU Tag belts to Havok & Hatred on 8/22, Carter's jealousy could not be hindered no more.
On 10/3, during a rematch with Havok/Hatred, Carter took the fall again. However, it was part of Carter's plan.
Straight from the WSUWrestling.com results section, here's what took place:
During the match, Rick Cataldo, who announced on Missy's Manor that he had a manager's contract as well in WSU, came out to scout this match. After Carter was pinned, Rick came into the ring. It was shockingly revealed that Cataldo signed Carter behind Alicia's back. Cataldo & Carter then attacked Alicia. This is MUST SEE on the DVD release, as this was one of the most despicable acts ever in WSU, although the most despicable act ever in WSU was still yet to come at the end of the night.
Carter then announced she was sick of being called something she wasn't and be ing so happy all the time. Carter said her real name is Brittney Savage, something that you can look up online if you don't believe her, and this is what she's really like. Brittney Savage said she is sick of playing the role of a good girl and that Brooke Carter was dead. Brittney said she is sick of having to deal with Alicia and somewhat sounded jealous of Alicia's previous accolades.
Savage then went to curb stomp Alicia, American History X style, until Becky Bayless ran out to help Alicia. After two years, Bayless & Alicia were back in the ring together, for the first time, since December 2007. Bayless & Alicia challenged Cataldo/Savage to a match on the next event.
With Alicia/Becky on the same side again, they turned back the challenge of Cataldo/Savage. However since then, Savage went on to win the WSU Spirit Championship on her own. But this feud isn't about championships, it's about respect.
Alicia will look to seek vengeance on the girl who turned her back on her and tried to leave her for dead. For Savage, who seems to be enraged with jealousy and cockiness right now, this is a way to prove to the world that it's not about Alicia, and that it's Savage's time to shine.
This tag team match promises to be pure dynamite as the dynamics between these two teams are at a fiery pitch.
