History Made in New Jersey! Mercedes Martinez vs Lexxus

I have to say I never expected Lexxus vs Mercedes Martinez to be a Match of the Year but it was.  I always knew Mercedes was MOTY material but I was not sold on Lexxus.  I was surprised that she won the Uncensored Rumble and felt that this match was just something to keep Martinez looking strong until it was Jessicka Havoc finished her feud with Alicia….Was I ever wrong.  Lexxus completely won me over and stood toe to toe with Mercedes and took her to the limit. Lexxus vs Martinez was amazing. This match made world history as the longest woman’s match ever!

                In the beginning, even Mercedes didn’t seem to see Lexxus as a threat.  She was playing with her. But no matter what Mercedes did, Lexxus would not stay down for the three count.   Martinez then got serious.  I was waiting for it.  The triple suplex made famous by Eddie Guerrero.  When Mercedes hit that I thought it was over…but it seemed like nothing would keep Lexxus down.  She either got her shoulder up or was able to grab the rope.  Both Lexxus and Mercedes put each other in several painful submission but neither of them would tap. Lexus even reversed the Fisherman Buster! This match really had it all.  It had technical wrestling, some highflying, and they even fought in the crowd.  And they did it all 83 degree heat!

                Several times the girls either threw water at their opponent or drenched themselves with it.  If this was the WWE or TNA, this would have been an excuse to exploit the women and get ratings with Wet T-shirts, but this is WSU and the women didn’t do it to “be sexy” they did to keep from dehydrating. I am not certain if WSU stocked water from under the ring or they grabbed from thirst fans. They got it from the section closest to the concession stand.

                Both girls were exhausted and on more than one occasion when they were both on the matt, I thought it might end in a double count out but they always managed to get to their feet. And then after 60 minutes the bell rang.  And I was like…after this incredible match…It is going to end in a draw due to a time limit??  TNA pulls that crap all the time but this isn’t TNA, this is WSU.  While the crowd chanted 5 more minutes, the Referee made the call to have the match restarted! We got out wish and Mercedes and Lexxus battled on for another 13 minutes.  Finally after a grueling 73 minutes  Mercedes hit the Fisherman Buster and pinned Lexxus for the one two three!
