Martinez vs. Lexxus:
"73-Minute Match (Photos)"
For the third year in a row, Mercedes
Martinez (PROFILE)
is Lethalwow.com's " Wrestler of the Year."
This puts Mercedes at #1 on Lethalwow.com's Top
25 Ranking of 2011. Martinez also wins " Match
of the Year," for her Winner Takes All
Ladder Match against Angel Orsini
at WSU's The Final Chapter Internet-Pay-Per-View
( Review).
Other wins include " Best Champion,"
" Indy Wrestler of the Year,"
" WSU - Finisher of the Year,"
and much more. In an age of short and often underwhelming
Championship reigns, Mercedes Martinez
represents what it means to be a Champion. Her
extraordinary reign as WSU Champion
is primarily the reason for her 3-year stint as
Lethalwow.com Wrestler of the Year... The end
of 2011 saw Martinez's reign over the 1000 day
mark.
Championship defenses included defeating Angel
Orsini in a Ladder match; defeating Serena
Deeb at WSU's 4th anniversary show; defeating
Lexxus in an unprecedented 73-minute
match, and much more. Mercedes ended her year
in WSU in a much talked about Six-woman Tag-Team
War Games Steel Cage Match live on Internet-Pay-Per-View.
In 2011, Mercedes also continued her amazing work
in Shimmer Women Athletes. There
she picked up wins over Rachel Summerlyn,
Christina Von Eerie, Britani
Knight, Leva Bates,
and Davina Rose. Mercedes also battled Madison
Eagles in a Shimmer Championship match,
but came up short. Other promotions Martinez wrestled
for in 2011 included Northern Championship
Wrestling (NCW) in Canada, Stardom in
Japan, Pro Wrestling SUN, and
more. Mercdes Martinez also became a 3-Time World
Xtreme Wrestling (WXW) Women's Champion
on September 10, 2011.

Jessicka
Havok... "When I think about Wrestler
of the Year, I often ask myself “what was
the story of 2011.” No doubt in my mind it
was Jessicka Havok. She is a shining
example of what proper build up is from start to
finish and how you can take somewhat that someone
may not know--like myself, to eventually becoming
a huge fan of hers. From beating her teacher in
Rain, to verterans like Nikki Roxx, to being in
one of the best fueds of the year with WSU icon
Alicia, to making her own stable
in the Midwest Militia, to now
about to be involved in one of the biggest matches
of 2012, 2011 has indeed become a year of Havok."
- @LV5454
|
|
|
|
Mercedes
Martinez... "Simply because
she has had the longest title reign in WSU history,
with numerous defenses, insane matches and not to
mention the longest match in history which was 73
mins." - @BlackRoseSyx |
|
|
|
Sara
Del Rey... "The Queen of Wrestling
moniker is apropos. She's torn it up in SHIMMER
and CHIKARA on the regular, and
dominated at this year's JoshiMania. There are few
better than SDR at this point." - @hittheropes
|
|
|
Mercedes
Martinez... "Once again, I’m
going with Mercedes Martinez. Last
year I wrote about how she had the title for over
a year…that was a year ago and she still has
her grasp on it, and never letting go. She is one
of the toughest people I know, battling through
injuries, putting on amazing matches each time.
This year saw her and Lexxus go
a record breaking 72 minutes (ending her own record
with Angel Orsini) in the longest
ironwoman match ever. She’s facing some career
threatening injuries and will still be back on her
feet for the Anniversary show, where I think she
just may walk away once again with the belt. Look
at her promos, look at her in ring work, it speaks
for itself." - @martibelle |
|
|
Sara
Del Rey... "I really wrestled
with this one, because Mercedes Martinez
is the truth, but I got to give it to the Queen
of Wrestling Sara Del Rey and here's
why... she has been all over the country showing her
dominance regardless if she was by herself, in a
tag or in a stable. Sara has gotten a chance to
show her skills and her strength through a plethora
of various opponents from Claudio Castagnoli
to Legends like Aja Kong. 2011 was really Sara's
year and I look forward to seeing what 2012 brings."
- @gimicks247 |
|
|
|
Beth
Pheonix... "Sometimes I lose
all hope in The Divas Division, then I'm reminded
there able to have great women wrestling matches
whenever Miss Pheonix does her thing." - @theboydiva |

Featured Panelist Picks: |
Web-Site
Voters Pick: Mickie James |
|
|
|
Velvet
Sky... "When I think about this,
I think who fans would get behind the most when
the chips are down. Velvet Sky
to me would gain the most support when an obstacle
is in her way. Her road to the Knockouts title is
a good example of that." - @LV5454 |
|
|
|
Alicia
(WSU)... "She has had great
matches, and it is undeniable how much the fans
love her and want to see her." - @BlackRoseSyx |
|
|
|
Kelly
Kelly... "She's been the WWE's
"It" girl this past year, and whether
or not she can wrestle, the girl is over as all
hell." - @hittheropes |
|
|
|
Alicia
Fox... "I think we haven’t
really seen what the baby faced Fox will be like,
but I do like what I have seen so far!" - @martibelle |
|
|
Velvet
Sky... "I picked Velvet
Sky, because I feel like she is truly a
babyface that people want to see win and overcome
the adversity of the heel. Also, she can talk, she
is very nice in person... and gives great hugs;
and out of the goodness of her heart she let's the
pigeons loose!... just for that she should win by
default." - @gimicks247 |
|
|
|
Kelly
Kelly... "Miss thing needs
to eat something... her eyes are to squinty... she
is this generations cheap imitation of Torrie Wilson...
All my opinions aside, you can't deny miss things
fanbase." - @theboydiva |

Subcategory Winners:
• TNA - Heel of the Year: Madison
Rayne
• WWE - Heel of the Year: Beth Phoenix
• WSU - Heel of the Year: Jessicka Havok
• SHIMMER - Heel of the Year: Madison

made the call, and broke the tie by picking Jessicka
Havok. Jessicka Havok Ranked
#5 on Lethalwow.com's Top 25 of 2011 (Read
Write-Up).
|
Featured Panelist Picks: |
Web-Site
Voters Pick: Madison Rayne |
|
|
Jessicka
Havok... "When you ruin a potentially
great title match at the 4th Anniversary show; always
threatening to kill someone before a match; making
your opponent’s mother throw in the towel;
make a good girl go bad like Sassy Stepanie; creating
a group that threatens the future of WSU, and to
top it all off, USING A MACHETE, who else deserves
it more?" - @LV5454
|
|
|
|
Jessicka
Havok... "Jessicka is the leader
of the Midwest Militia, and was
a total psycho at War Games... She pulled a machete
on Mercedes out of desperation to win. If that isn't
insane, then I don't know what is." - @BlackRoseSyx |
|
|
|
Jessicka
Havok... "easily!.. She nearly killed
a woman in a wrestling ring with a machete. There's
just something about Havok that despite being so
evil, you are still engaged because she exudes such
passion. " - @hittheropes
|
|
|
Jessicka
Havok... "hands down... That
girl is scary but passionate. I can’t remember
the last time I saw someone so passionate about
being in the ring and still holding up a machete
in her hand... by any means necessary I guess some
say. I said her last year, and I’m sticking
to it again. She’s not just a “scary”
individual though, her work in the ring has definitely
made her a believable contender for the WSU World
Championship." - @martibelle |
|
|
Jessicka
Havok... "Jessicka Havok, J-HAV,
DA HAVOK.. whatever you call her, she is no joke,
she legitly scares the crap out of men and women,
her promos convey a great realism that not too many
women have. No matter what promotion she is apart
of, she is a heel of destruction and a force to
be reckon with. Jessicka also has great mannerisms
which I am a huge fan of as well and with every
promo I am convinced that she's about to beat a
bitch up and possibly end her life in the middle
of the ring. I am mean this woman will punch yo
kids in the face and slap yo mama, just cause she's....J-HAV!
" - @gimicks247 |
|
|

Madison
Rayne... "Tiara; pageant waves;
killer song; annoying voice... Anyone who calls
themselves a Queen, and then acts like it gets my
vote." - @theboydiva |

|
|
Sarita
& Rosita... "This was a tough
choice, but this came down to the length of title
reigns for me. The hot duo of Sarita & Rosita
held the TNA Knockout Tag Team titles for 121 days.
The most days a championship was by a womens tag
team in 2011. The 3rd most in the history of the
TNA Knockout Tag Team titles." - @LV5454

|

|
The
Boston Shore... "They beat
the Belle Saints and have defeated every other tag
team that has come their way since and are still
the champions." - @BlackRoseSyx |
|
|
|
Tara
and Tessmacher... "The Knockouts
tag division is weak, but this team came together
seemingly out of nowhere but worked." - @hittheropes
|
|
|
Tara
and Tessmacher... "Hmm…
I’d say the Belle Saints but, thanks to someone’s
betrayal, there are no more Saints. I’m going
to go with TnT. Brooke has def
improved so much from when she first became a knockout
and Tara is without a doubt one of the best women
wrestler’s working right now. I think the
combination was explosive (see what I did there?!)
and they earned those belts! Looking forward to
seeing more." - @martibelle |
|
|
The
Boston Shore ... "This Tag-Team
impresses me every year, and if you're like 'Boston
Shore who,' then you you need to Google them baby.
I love the way that Amber talks
trash in the ring regardless of if she has the upper
hand or not. She can wrestle and does a sweet Perfect
Plex. Lexxus is the secret weapon...
she looks like she's to small to hurt you, but she's
a beast and will beat the crap out of you. Sexy;
smart; and they can both wrestle. Without a shadow
of a doubt... Tag Team of the year goes to the Boston
Shore." - @gimicks247 |
|
|
The
Boston Shore... "hot messes,
but I love them! You have to give them credit, as
if WSU was prison... they went up to the biggest
baddest dogs in the yard (April Hunter, Serena,
Traci Brooks, Melina, etc) and took them out, plus
they are undefeated as a team, well deserved champions."

Maryse...
"She may not have been on Monday nights a lot in
2011, but if I’m willing to watch NXT just
to see Maryse, that in itself defines how sexy you
are!" - @LV5454
|
|
|
|
Lexxus
of the Boston Shore... "As
I already mentioned, she is one half of the WSU
tag-team champions, and also had the 73 minute match
with Mercedes for the WSU world title. Although
she didn't get the win, it was an amazing match
and came close." - @BlackRoseSyx |
|
|
|
Brooke
Tessmacher... "As a guy, I can appreciate
a good rear end, and Tessmacher possesses one. One
that is on display when she does that stinkface
on her opponents. She has also improved in the ring,
so that's pretty hot too." - @hittheropes

I’m going with Maryse…Or Rick Cataldo,
he wears those knee high heels better than I can!
Oh wait…Brooke’s basketballs…oh
man!" - @martibelle |

Vickie
Guerrero...
"'The first half of 2011 wasn’t the most pleasant
of times for this slimmed down cougar; however,
after joining the Raw brand and tying up some lose
ends with then boyfriend Dolph Ziggler,
Vickie transformed her business partner into a more
cocky, arrogant, and confident #HEEL
who is now looked at as a future world champion
in 2012." - @LV5454

Rick
Cataldo... "Rick is always
there for the wrestler he is with, that is what
makes him that great... whatever his wrestler needs
he does." - @BlackRoseSyx |

Karen
Jarrett... "At times she can be
quite annoying but she can also being entertaining.
As a heel she has been able to get either Jeff
Jarrett, Madison Rayne,
or Gail Kim the assistance they
need to win. " - @hittheropes
|
|
|
|
Vickie
Guerrero... "that woman has
got 'it'. She’s led her sexy men to numerous
victories, including a current champion. She gets
more heat coming out of the curtain and uttering
“excuse me” than some of her male co-workers
do cutting a five minute promo." - @martibelle |
|
|
Vickie
Guerrero... "Vickie
is holding the Manager of the Year down... I know
Karen Jarrett is trying to take
her throne, but Vickie ain't playing no games...
she was an acting general manager; she beat Trish
Stratus; she stays on point and manages Dolph
Ziggler and Jack Swagger
a.k.a ZiggZazgg Swagg!!! So fall back Karen, cause
you can't stop a 40 something year old Cougar with
a six pack!" - @gimicks247 |

Eve
Torres ... "As much as I love
to talk trash about this girl, especially when she
tries to do a booty pop with no ass, I must admit
Eve has really stepped her game up as a competitor
in wwe. I can't stand matches with Beth
Pheonix vs. Kelly Kelly,
but I do pay attention when it's Beth Pheonix vs
Eve. Eve looks like she actually has a chance
at beating Beth or Natalya. Her moonsault's get
better and better, and anybody who's willing

Beth Phoenix get's my vote." - @gimicks247 |

• TNA - Feud of the Year: Karen Jarrett vs the Knockouts Division
• WWE - Feud of the Year: Divas of Doom vs. The WWE Divas
• WSU - Feud of the Year: Jessicka Havok vs. Alicia
• Shimmer - Feud of the Year: Madison Eagles vs. Cheerleader Melissa
Lethalwow.com's Feud of the Year
for 2011 goes to Jessicka Havok versus
Alica. This feud was one of the highlights for
Women Superstars Uncensored (WSU) in
2011, and was picked overwhelming by this year's Featured
Panelists and Fan Panelists.
This feud started at WSU's 4th Anniversary show (March
5,2011), when Jessicka attacked Alicia
during her WSU Championship match against Mercedes
Martinez. Havok hit Alicia with the WSU World
Championship, which led to the match ending in a No Contest.
Alicia did not take being screwed out of the WSU Championship
lightly, and the ladies went on to battle on April 2,
2011, at WSU and NWS's King & Queen Of The Ring 2011.
The match ended in a Double Disqualification. After the
match, Alicia challenged Havok to an
Uncensored Rules Match at WSU's Uncensored
Rumble IV Internet Pay-Per-View. Before the Pay-Per-View,
Alicia teamed up with Mercedes Martinez
on April 3, 2011 at Indy Mania, where they defeated the
team of Havok and Brittney Savage.
On June 25, 2011, at the Uncensored Rumble, Jessicka
Havok defeated Alicia, when Alicia's mother threw
in the towel so this match could end. The ladies went
on to battle in a No Holds Barred Last Man Standing main-event
match on August 8, 2011 for WSU. This time, Jessicka introduced
the world to The Midwest Militia---a
faction consisting of Havok, Sassy Stephie, and Allysin
Kay.The match ended in a No Contest, with Mercedes Martinez
and Brittney Savage coming to the aid of Alicia, due to
The Midwest Militia. This led to November 19, 2011, where
The Midwest Militia (Allysin Kay, Jessicka
Havok & Sassy Stephie) defeated Team WSU (Alicia, Brittney
Savage & Mercedes Martinez), in a War Games Steel Cage
Match.

Karen
Jarrett v the Knockouts... "Karen
Jarrett vs. the Knockouts has been pretty interesting.
I have not been a fan of the constant title changes,
but I think its brought some interesting stories

she looks like she wants to kill Karen!" -

Jessicka
Havok vs. Alicia... "Ya damn
right! it deserves Feud of the Year, heck I wish
I could write this in blood. These women showed
true hatred towards each other and every time these
women went at in the ring you could feel it. When
they wrestled into the crowd I was scared and so
was everybody else. I saw grown men hide behind
women so they could get out the path of their brawls...
ha I even jumped on top of my merch table. "

Jessika
Havok vs. Alicia...
"This is not WWE, bitch you can't write this
stuff! twitter wars, street fights, cage matches,
cursing, family members getting involved. Jessika
Havok has been making waves for herself and it would
never had happen if she had not jump in Alicia's
pool .... this was legit to much drama for your
momma! Honorable mention goes to Melina vs. Gail
Kim. WWE miss the boat with those two big time!

2011: Match of the Year
• Match
of the Year: Mercedes
Martinez vs. Angel Orsini (Ladder Match) (Winner!)
Subcategory
Winners:
• TNA - Match of the Year: Gail
Kim vs. Mickie James (12/29/11
- Impact Wrestling -Main Event)
• WWE - Match of the Year: Layla
vs. Michelle McCool (Extreme
Rules 2011/"Loser Leaves WWE")
• WSU - Match of the Year: Mercedes
Martinez(c) vs. Angel Orsini (1/22/11
- Ladder Match)
• SHIMMER - Match of the Year: Cheerleader
Melissa vs Madison Eagles (10/2/2011
- Volume 44 Taping)
Mercedes vs. Angel Orsini:
"WSU - Match of the Year"
Lethalwow.com's Match of the Year for 2011 goes to Mercedes
Martinez vs. Angel Orsini, which
took place on January 22, 2011, at WSU's
The Final Chapter Internet Pay-Per-View . That night,
Orsini and Martinez battled in a Winner Takes All Ladder
match, where the WSU All Guts No Glory Title and WSU World
Title were on the line. This match was most-picked by
this year's panelists.
There were many fantastic matches in 2011.... Many coming
from Shimmer and Chikara
Pro Wrestling, that would be worthy of Match of the Year.
Mercedes Martinez also had numerous matches
under consideration for Match of the Year; which included
her 73-minute match against Lexxuss,
and the War Games Steel Cage Match. Despite the tough
competition, Orsini vs Martinez had years of history behind
it like no other. The significance of the match, and the
buzz it generated put it on top, not-to-mention, Mercedes
and Orsini put their bodies on line in one of the most
intense women's matches in history. This is not the first
time Mercedes on Angel won Match of the Year at Lethalwow.com...
The ladies earned the award in 2009 after their historic
60-minute Iron Woman match. Mercedes Martinez
vs. Angel Orsini also wins for 2011 WSU
Match of the Year.
Gail Kim vs. Mickie James (12/29/11):
"TNA - Match of the Year"
This year, the Shimmer Match of the Year
goes to Cheerleader Melissa vs Madison
Eagles on October 2, 2011, during the taping
of SHIMMER Volume 44. This match generated
the most buzz on the internet, and had the most significance
of any Shimmer match in 2011. Without even being released
on DVD, this match received the most votes of any Shimmer
match from this year's fan panelists. And rightfully so,
Cheerleader Melissa becoming Shimmer
Champion, was one of the highlights of the year (Top
25 Ranking of 2011 – #10: Cheerleader Melissa).
Layla vs. Michelle McCool
(Extreme Rules 2011):
"WWE - Match of the Year"
2011's TNA Match of the Year goes to
Gail Kim vs. Mickie James,
on the December 29, 2011 episode of Impact Wrestling.
Anytime the Knockouts were given the Main Event spot over
the years, they delivered... Gail Kim and Mickie James
certainly delivered in their TNA Women's Knockout
Championship match. While this was not a clean
finish, these two showed why they were two of the top
female wrestlers in the United States.
2011's WWE Match of the Year goes to
Michelle McCool vs. Layla,
which took place on May 1, 2011, at World Wrestling
Entertainment's Extreme Rules
Pay-Per-Vew. This match was the most significant match
for the WWE Divas in 2011; it generated
the most buzz online; and Layla and Michelle put on a
hell of a match. While Layla and Michelle's feud came
abruptly, this match saw the end LayCool (2010
- Tag-Team of the Year)---The duo that was the focus
of the WWE Divas Division for the past
few years, and it was McCool's last match in the WWE.
The match which was billed a "Loser Leaves WWE," which
saw Layla pin Michelle for a shocking win. In reality,
Michelle retired from the business--an abrupt end to a
woman who went from a Diva search contestant, to a great
wrestler. The end of this match saw the much anticipated
debut of Kharma aka Awesome Kong, where
Michelle McCool received a devastating
"Implant Buster" on her way out.

Mercedes
Martinez vs. Angel Orsini (Ladder Match)...
"I think one of my friends said it best, this match
was a mixture of HBK vs. Ramon and Danielson vs.
McGuiness wrapped into one. This match gave my male
friends something to talk about for a long time.
A pure classic." - @LV5454

Mercedes
Martinez vs Lexxus... "In August,
both Martinez and Lexxus had a 73 minute match that
was simply phenominal, Lexxus came so close by lasting
that long and they both brought everything they
had to the table." - @BlackRoseSyx |
|
|

Mercedes
Martinez vs. Angel Orsini (Ladder Match)...
"Angel Orsini vs. Mercedes Martinez in a Ladder
Match for WSU in January. This was the final chapter
(at least for now), in the rivalry that was Orsini
and Martinez... they truly put a great cap on it
in this brutal encounter." - @hittheropes

|
|
|
The
Midwest Militia vs. Team WSU...
"For those of you that missed WSU’s debut
in NY (at the NYWC arena in Deer Park, LI), you
missed what many called a scary, exciting and amazing
match; Team WSU (Mercedes Martinez, Alicia &
Britney Savage) vs The Midwest Militia (Jessicka
Havok, Allysin Kay & Sassy Stephie) closed Breaking
Barriers II, in the first ever women’s Wargame
match. The match in itself was brutal and just jaw
dropping, the end saw Jessicka literally hold up
a machete to Martinez’s throat until Savage
said “I quit” to stop the madness. But,
that wasn’t all; Mercedes was carried out
on a stretcher and faced career ending injuries.
WHAT THE HECK?!" - @martibelle |
|
|
Mercedes
Martinez vs. Angel Orsini (Ladder Match)...
"Better than men!... Yes to me this match
was way better than a lot of Ladder Matches traditionally
done by men. These two women gave you there all
and really wanted to win, to show who was the better
wrestler and champion. I will admit this category
was very tough, as Lexxus vs. Mercedes
is one of my favorites as well. Shout out
to Lexxus from the Boston Shore!" - @gimicks247 |

Jessika
Havok vs Alicia - June 25th 2011 (WSU)...
"In an uncensored rules match, these women
beat the tar out of each other! It would have been
a fight to the death had Alicia's mother not infamously
thrown in the towel ...this was nothing but a brutal
act of violence." - @theboydiva |
