Mercedes Martinez handed Jordynne Grace her first official loss in Women Superstars Uncensored on Saturday, as she successfully overcame the young bruiser-weight and retained her title.
Jordynne has been on a hot streak as of late – she’s getting booked practically everywhere and in most cases, she’s racked up an undefeated streak or is made to look like money. A couple of years ago, Grace was one of the many locals bumping around on the Texas scene. She had started her professional career when she was just fifteen-years old and before her eighteenth birthday, she had already wrestled in Mexico, graduated from high school and relocated to the Midwest. She had worked for most of Texas’ top promotions and the move opened up more opportunities to wrestle for those within the region. I feel there’s this perception being presented online that Jordynne just appeared over night, but she’s been consistently booked since her debut almost six years ago.
Her bookings might not have been high profile enough to reach a certain level of attention from core followers of independent wrestling, but it’s nice to see that she’s compared to some of the best – Jordynne’s been good for a long time. Mercedes escaped with her second title defense since regaining the belt back in February. Mercedes is currently seen as a competitor in the Mae Young Classic – WWE’s core audience doesn’t realize that she’s holding four world titles and is one-half of the SHINE Tag Team Champions right now and with no updates of the company officially inking some of these women to deals, Mercedes might not be dropping these belts anytime soon.
To no one’s surprise, Su Yung won the 2017 Queen and King Of the Ring tournament with Blackwater at her side on Saturday, as the creepy duo defeated Veda Scott and Jason Cade in the finals. Su Yung like Jordynne Grace has received a peak interest from fans in recent years – I think in Su’s case it has to do with her gimmick and people’s curiosity as to whether she’s a zombie bride or is she a woman scorned that took things a little too far. No one really knows and I don’t believe we ever got a conclusion to that infamous moment where she, a sweeter than pie babyface was dragged backstage during a SHINE Wrestling event and weeks later resurfaced as the visual we see today. She should have been made a permanent fixture within the Floridian promotion and not fired – it’s actually a shame that she’s a champion elsewhere for promotions that don’t receive much coverage, Queens of Combat, Girl Fight or FEST Wrestling while also turning over dates in other states. There feels like something is missing when it comes to Su Yung and apparently it’s not booking because she’s super over.
The promotion did a good job in playing up each team’s personas or like attributes. For example, Willow Nightingale and Anthony’s Bennett’s towering hairstyles made them an automatic match. In years past, the winner of the tournament would receive a shot at the WSU Championship. 2013’s winner, Athena went to face LuFisto for the title not once but twice. Athena had previously challenged Jessicka Havok for the belt three months before the tournament win with AR Fox and was unsuccessful. She was lined up for another shot at Havok and her championship when she and LuFisto fought each other in a number one contenders match at “Mutiny” the following February – Athena had been sidelined with an injury and had missed her opportunity to challenge Havok at the promotion’s next show. LuFisto had already racked up a huge win over Mercedes Martinez in a Falls Count Anywhere match and by Athena’s return, she had set her sights on winning the WSU Championship from Havok.
The matchup against Mercedes happened to be a number one contender’s match; Athena’s title shot was never dismissed due to injury and now the promotion had two competitors vying for a championship match and needed a quick resolution. A number one contender‘s match was made and LuFisto took home the win and was set to face Havok for the title that May when the champion was stripped of the belt and banned from the promotion for good. With the title now vacant, the promotion decided to put the number one contender, LuFisto in a decision match against Athena and make it a Two-Out-of-Three Falls match at the 2014 Queen and King Of the Ring tournament show. LuFisto won the championship and her first challenger to the title was decided in the finals, as Mickie Knuckles and Matt Tremont were crowned that year’s royal pair – she would unsuccessfully challenge LuFisto for the belt in the main event of United in July.
Su Yung and Mercedes Martinez last squared off in singles competition back at SHINE 16 and that matchup took place in January of 2014. Su had fought Mercedes one other time before that; in July 2013, she and Mercedes went up against Nikki Roxx and LuFisto in a fatal four-way qualifying match for the SHINE Championship tournament. Since then, Mercedes has quietly stepped away from the business for two years and once she reappeared, she started sweeping up championship right out the gate. Su and Blackwater defeated Willow Nightingale and Anthony Bennett in the first round of the tournament and went onto overcome Brandon Watts and WSU Spirit Champion, Kiera Hogan in the semi finals. Finalists Veda Scott and Jason Cade had beaten Leva Bates and Greg Excellent in their second round matchup after getting the better of Rick Cataldo, who had another meltdown after the match and his partner, Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) in the tournament’s opener.
On top of possibly challenging Mercedes for the strap soon, Su has a rematch clause that could be invoked for the Spirit Championship. She lost the title to Kiera Hogan as part of a three-way at the promotion’s anniversary show in February and while the champion has successfully retained since then, Su has not received her rematch. Maria Manic and Penelope Ford retained the WSU Tag Team Titles against Brittany Blake and Samantha Heights in the second championship match on the card. Rick Cataldo got under Manic’s skin post match and a brawl broke out – clearly, the issues with the Fella Twins are not done.
Some things that happened over the weekend and this week…
Davienne unseated Skylar of the PVP Women’s Championship on Sunday in Springfield, Massachusetts after being granted a title shot after beating Jawsolyn the night before. Davienne had defeated Jawsolyn in Southwick to become the new number one contender to the title and as a result, the championship match was lined up for the following day’s show at the Eastfield Mall. She reportedly dominated the titleholder throughout the match, thus winning the belt and becoming the new champion. Davienne has been taking on all comers in the women’s division, however, winning the title has alluded her and now that she’s won it, she’s a double champion in the Northeast… Tournaments are upon us over in Japan, as two sets of tag team champions are going to be determined in the next couple of weeks. First and foremost, Hiiragi Kurumi and Tsukushi are no longer the International Ribbon Champions and it has nothing to do with the incident that saw one of these titleholders arrested and detained by local police. It’s being reported that Kurumi made the decision to relinquish the belt at Saturday’s show in Saitama due to suffering an injury recently. No other specific details have been released in regards to the injury or when and how it was sustained. However, this is the second time this year that the belts have been declared vacant.
The two competitors re-captured the championships back in March from Misaki Ohata and Ryo Mizunami after dropping the titles to them during the fall season. Together, Tsukushi has held the International Ribbon Tag Team Titles on eight separate occasions and three of those reigns have come with Kurumi by her side. After skating through their first two title defenses successfully, their matchup against Hamuko Hoshi and Mochi Miyagi back in May ended in a twenty-minute time limit draw and as a result, the belts were vacated. Ever since the titles were introduced in April of 2007, it’s remained a golden rule that the belts must be vacated by the current titleholders if their championship match ended right on the twenty-minute mark. It’s actually the third occurrence of this happening in the belt’s lineage; the last occurred back in October of 2011, when the champions, DASH Chisako and Sendai Sachiko wrestled Tsukasa Fujimoto and Tsukushi to the match’s expiration point. Ice Ribbon has announced that a new tournament will be implemented to crown the new champions starting on September 23rd at the Yokohama Radiant Hall. No teams have been announced thus far, however, the additional tournament qualifiers will continue on October 9th and October 29th shows…
Tokyo Joshi Pro kicked off the first round of their Princess Tag Team Championship tournament on Saturday. Three teams have advanced to the second leg; Rika Tatsumi and Maho Kurone defeated Yuu and Nodoka-oneesan, Shoko Nakajima and Yuki Sakazaki defeated Azusa Takigawa and Nonoko and, Mizuki picked up the upset win over the current TOKYO Princess of Princess Champion, Reika Saiki, and her partner, Miyu Yamashita to finish out the first round matchups. The promotion has announced the second round matches for this Saturday’s show in Tokyo. Mizuki and Maki Ito will be going up against Yuka Sakazaki and Shoko Nakajima and Rika Tatsumi and Maho Kurone will be taking on Yuna Manase and Marika Kobashi… Ayesha Ray is the new Reckless Intent Hardcore Champion after defeating Jam O’Malley, Michael Chase, Justin Deed and Mr. News for the title on Saturday in Livingston, Scotland. Mr. News had won the championship for a third time back in May after beating O’Malley and Chris Toal to win the belt twice in one day. Ayesha is the first woman to ever hold the championship and it’s also her first singles title in a year… Nikki Addams came up short in the 2017 King Of New York tournament on Saturday. She had bested Jeff Cannonball, Logan Black and TK Luthor in the first round matchup of the tournament put on by Warriors Of Wrestling and went onto face Mike Law in the semi finals, where she lost… Akane Fujita’s first stop on her U.S tour happened over the weekend in Port Hueneme, California. She worked the Championship Wrestling from Hollywood tapings on Saturday and took the loss to Raze. Her next stop is in Oceanside, California on Saturday when she takes on Kitana Vera for SoCal Pro Wrestling… Atomic Championship Wrestling presented another Rogue Women Warriors filled card on Saturday in Stevens, Pennsylvania and it featured two titles on the line. LuFisto’s title defense against Stefany Sinclair ended up in a crowd, with the SHINE Champion retaining after sending Sinclair crashing through a table via a Death Valley Driver off the ring apron. Pink Flash Kira also retained her belt; she defeated Sahara Se7en with the Air Raid Crash to pick up another successful defense of the Rogue Dark Phase Championship. Trixie Trash replaced Ray Lyn and got disqualified in her matchup against Rebecca Payne. While the referee was down, Gilete handed her purse that contained a brick inside to Payne and pretended that Trixie had knocked her out with the foreign object. Angie Skye defeated Gemma Cross with the Hard Goodbye and Allysin Kay worked the show’s main event and picked up the win over Tess Valentine with the Discus Lariat…
Toni Storm and Io Shirai are currently tied in the Blue Stars block with nine points each after Shirai bested Tam Nakano in their matchup on Sunday. The bigger story coming out of Sunday’s show was not Shirai’s comeback in the tournament, it was actually Oedo Tai gaining a new member and that new member just so happens to be Tam Nakano. Since her arrival in the promotion, the stable sought Nakano and tried to recruit her the moment she stepped foot in the building. Nakano at first, thanked the villains headed by Kagetsu for their interest but stated that she needed time to make her decision. I guess a couple of weeks is all she really needed, because she’s now swinging her sword in alliance with STARDOM’s longest running heel stable – this is actually a good call by the promotion, because, at this rate, the promotion needs more definitive roles for the upcoming rookies and not be duct taped to Io and Mayu Iwatani’s coattails for leverage. That was a formula that worked well for the promotion in the beginning – Kairi Hojo was attached to Nanae Takahashi before her singles title runs and I believe that backpacking with the veterans prepared her for her initial World of STARDOM Championship win that didn’t appear to be happening for another year or two. Long before she started teaming with Io, Iwatani also latched onto the veterans early on and was a third of the Artists Champions with Hiroyo Matsumoto and Miho Wakizawa.
Most of STARDOM’s rookies on the old roster were stuck together and made the most of it by wrestling against one another repeatedly and over time, they made a name for themselves and were either recruited by the stables or remained a lone warrior. I understand that in professional wrestling and in sports in general that the rookies tend to follow the veterans, the locker room leaders and their allegiance shows a sign of mutual respect, but in today’s world, STARDOM is going to need more than three lone rookies that haven’t carved out their own niche standing behind Io for guidance. Io is the biggest superstar in that entire locker room and there comes a point where those upcoming acts have graduated from that stage and like Io, who broke away from the Triple Tails stable several years, will have to create their own path without the push of a veteran’s support. In Tam Nakano’s case – she’s joining a stable of young, up and comers in Kagetsu, Hana Kimura and though Kris Wolf has been with the promotion for a couple of years now, Kris hasn’t made it to main title picture just yet.

East Coast Wrestling Association has begun announcing participants for this year’s Super 8: ChickFight Tournament. Back-to-back winner and current reigning and defending ECWA Women’s Champion, Deonna Purrazzo is one of the first names announced for the tournament. Purrazzo won the 2015 series and even took home last year’s trophy after she defeated Karen Q, another competitor announced, in the finals of the tournament. She’s also fended off two successful title defenses against Karen since last year’s show and altogether has retained the belt on twelve separate occasions.
The tournament was created back in 2014 as a spin off the promotion’s popular Super 8 series, which was put on every year since 1997 and featured some of the best wrestlers on the indies at the time. Tessa Blanchard won the inaugural tournament’s gold statue and was also crowned the new ECWA Women’s Champion after beating Jenny Rose in the finals. The title was declared vacant after Renee Michelle’s championship defense against Jessie Kaye in a Loser Leaves ECWA match had ended in a double pinfall. Blanchard wound up dropping the belt to Renee in her second title defense back in March of 2015 and has since, never contended for or challenged for the belt after unsuccessfully going up against Renee a month later in a No Disqualification match in New Jersey.
Renee made it through three title defenses before losing the championship again that August. Due to unknown reasons, the belt was again without a titleholder and this time, the promotion decided to put it on the line in the finals of the upcoming tournament. Deonna and Tessa had survived the pack; the likes of Brittany Blake and former champion, now repackaged as Kennadi Brink (Jessie Kaye) were defeated in the semi finals with Blanchard besting the inaugural titleholder in their matchup and Deonna going over on Blake.
Purrazzo has maintained a tight grip on the championship ever since despite the multiple oncoming challenges from peers. This year’s tournament takes place a few days after Deonna’s reign officially turns two-years-old on October 21st in New Jersey. As a competitor in the tournament, Santana Garrett officially makes her first appearance for the promotion, which is hard to believe is that she’s worked practically everywhere on the map. She might not have the premier women’s titles hanging from her waist these days, however, Santana is still a titleholder of many championships currently, including the Belleview Heavyweight Title and the Battling Bombshells Title, which she’s held since March of 2015. Allie Recks is another competitor out the Northeast region that was announced. Like Purrazzo, the 22-year-old was trained by Damian Adams and wrestles within the Northeast.
Powerlifter Christina Marie and “Hot Scoop” Skylar are the latest competitors to be confirmed for the tournament, with two additional names left to be announced in the coming weeks. Christina worked New England Championship Wrestling’s women’s show last July and like most of the competitors in this tournament, she works for promotions on the smaller scale in the Northeast region. Skylar’s name has been popping up on shows as of late and most consider her debut for Women’s Wrestling Revolution earlier this year at the promotion’s “Identity Crisis” event in March to be the sole reason. Both of the crimsoned hair competitors go head-to-head this Friday in Amsterdam, New York ahead of the tournament.

What’s going on this weekend on the indies and beyond…
Princesa Sugehit and Zeuxis’ masks will be on the line in a Luchas de Apuestas match Saturday. I discussed the ongoing rivalry between the two luchadoras and the build up to the big matchup here… This Sunday, Nicole Savoy makes her debut for Anarchy Championship Wrestling in their return to The Mohawk in Austin. Savoy takes on veteran roster member, Angel Blue… Savannah Summers goes up against Alexis Lee for All Action Wrestling in Perth on Sunday… Tessa Blanchard’s second title defense of the Remix Pro Fury Championship takes place this Sunday in Marietta, Ohio. She will be defending the strap against Britt Baker in a one-on-one singles match, as Blanchard’s first championship match back in October came against Baker and Leva Bates in the same city and state… RISE will be presenting their fourth show in the United Kingdom on Friday as part of a double feature with the local neighborhood’s all-female promotion, BellaTrix. The promotion will host a seminar early in the day with Mercedes Martinez and WWE Hall of Famer, Madusa on hand. Two championship matches and a load of first-time matches make up the show’s card at Epic Studios. Shotzi Blackheart’s Phoenix of RISE Title will be on the line against Chelsea Green; Alex Windsor will be busy fending off two opponents, Queen Maya and Lady Lory in her first-ever BellaTrix World Title defense.
Also on the card – is Deonna Purrazzo’s first wrestling date in the country, as she squares off with Shax. Jewells Malone will be taking on Dominita, Jetta squares off with Amarah, Mercedes Martinez will be in non-title action against Skarlett and Charli Evan’s current U.K tour continues, as she takes on Violet O’Hara. There are two tag team matches booked on the show also; Saraya and Nikki Knight will be going up against Leia Elise and Innocence and former RISE Champion, Angel Dust teams up with her “Sigma” partner, Rosemary to take on Erin Angel and El Daluna…
Also on Friday, SHINE presents its forty-fifth show in Ybor City despite the after effects of Irma in Florida.
LuFisto defends her title against Ivelisse and Holidead in the show’s main event – this will be the second time she’s fended off Ivelisse for the championship since capturing the belt in January. I don’t quite understand how both challengers get slotted in for a title shot after their first-round matchup in the SHINE Nova Title tournament ended in a time limit draw back in July. Ivelisse is a former two-time SHINE Champion, Holidead’s official debut for the promotion was through the secondary title’s tournament – how exactly this lands Holidead with another title shot is beyond me. LuFisto’s already retained the championship against her back on August 26th. The title defense was apart of Atomic Championship Wrestling’s lineup in Stevens, Pennsylvania and it was also the first time the belt had been defended in the state.
Ivelisse is currently one-half of the SHINE Tag Team Champions with Mercedes Martinez and one would think that the promotion would have their first title defense booked for the show, instead, Mercedes is nowhere on this card. Las Sicarias won the tag titles at SHINE 42 – that’s three shows ago. Right after that, the promotion held two back-to-back events in July to crown the inaugural Nova Champion. Ivelisse was involved in the tournament, while Mercedes was not; this is just another example of SHINE’s continued battle with consistency. Mercedes could be, possibly booked elsewhere on Friday night, however that doesn’t refute the argument that SHINE doesn’t properly process their booking decisions before throwing it out there days before the actual event. They crowned their second singles champion a few days short of their fifth anniversary and while the shows presented an influx of new and already upcoming talent, it was also a reminder of the prominence the promotion once had and lost.
Since its inception, SHINE has operated as a monthly contributor to women’s wrestling and held standalone shows once a month. It was an official outlet for those fans and it provided another promotion for wrestlers to work during SHIMMER’s offseason and gave more visible coverage via a live stream as opposed to relying on DVD sales. I have taken the promotion’s booking decisions to task in the past and even discussed that due to the nonsensical finishes to every match, that I had lost interest. It’s never made sense – screwy finishes up and down the show’s entire card, especially to matches that were not even embroiled in back and forth feuds.
I strongly believe that Ivelisse and Mercedes Martinez could be utilized better in SHINE than as tag team champions. Mercedes still has unfinished business with the promotion and her abrupt disappearance from there too – perhaps an actual feud between the two would benefit the program and not Ivelisse getting title shot after another title shot. LuFisto needs legit challengers for her world championship and the only people capable of such on the current roster right now is Allysin Kay, Mercedes or Ivelisse. The promotion has failed in creating new stars like they have in the past and are instead, grouping people together that don’t belong and are pushing forward agendas that don’t need actual attention.
Onto the undercard – Priscilla Kelly will yet again be defending her SHINE Nova Championship against Jordynne Grace after successfully retaining the title against her at a return show for Women’s Wrestling Revolution in August. Kelly is currently two title defenses deep into her reign as the inaugural champion with another win coming against Stormie Lee on an event for Full Impact Pro two weeks earlier. I mentioned it earlier in a previous article that it appears that SHINE is allowing their champions to defend the belts elsewhere, even outside its platform more these days. Santana Garrett carried the main title with her everywhere in Florida and retained it more often than not, however, those defenses stayed within state lines. LuFisto has defended her title in Texas, Pennsylvania, Quebec and has an upcoming championship match in Tennessee on September 29th and most of these defenses have been for promotions that are not under the World Wrestling Network umbrella or are initiating a working relationship with the company. Candy Cartwright and her minions, Kiera Hogan and Aria Blake will be taking on Aja Perera, Dynamite DiDi, and Lea Nox. Allysin Kay will be taking on Brandi Lauren and Vanessa Kraven goes up against Dementia D’Rose. Lady Chardonay Darcy will be making her official U.S debut and her first appearance for SHINE on Friday when she takes on Stormie Lee and Natalia Markova takes on Aerial Monroe.
The rocky road to Pro Wrestling: EVE’s SHE-1 continues on this weekend in a different continent.
Nicole Matthews and Christina Von Eerie are going to be facing off in a qualifying match this Saturday in West Minster, British Columbia. The matchup will be housed by Elite Canadian Championship Wrestling and it takes place days after Matthews lost the title thanks to the interference of Von Eerie’s husband, Scotty Mac in the contest and helping Adonis win the belt. The now-former three-time champion has her eyes set on gaining her revenge against the couple and what better way than to defeat Von Eerie and earn her rightful spot in the biggest women’s tournament in London this year.
Pro Wrestling: EVE presented another stellar card in Bethnal Green, London on Friday. The lineup included another SHE-1 qualifier, as “Session Moth” Martina defeated Jinny via submission in a No Disqualification matchup to advance to the November portion of the tournament. She and the winner of Von Eerie-Matthews will join Sammii Jayne, Nina Samuels, Kay Lee Ray, Charlie Morgan, Laura Di Matteo, Jetta and Emi Sakura as the qualified competitors in the SHE-1, a tournament to determine the true “ace” of the promotion.
EVE will be holding four shows on the weekend on November 11th-12th, with two shows happening per day in London in order to crown the tournament’s inaugural winner and next challenger to the title. Sammii Jayne successfully defended her championship in the main event of “We Do Right – Not Nice!” as she defeated Leah Owens, who earned a title shot at the last show and become the newest number one contender to Jayne’s belt. Debbie Sharp appeared via video footage during the event and issued a challenge to Jayne for the EVE Championship and the rematch has been announced for the October 6th show, “Nasty Women” which has already sold out.

Nanae Takahashi’s SEAdLINNNG has a show scheduled for Monday at Shinkiba 1st RING. She and Tsukasa Fujimoto help headline the show with their singles match, their first against each other in seven years making up the card. Yoshiko and Sareee will be in tag team action, as they take on Misaki Ohata and Ryo Mizunami. Arisa Nakajima is also booked for the show – she goes against Maruko Nagasaki and WAVE’s rookie sensation, ASUKA… April Davids’ Futureshock Women’s Championship will be on the line this Sunday in Manchester, as she defends the strap against Lana Austin in a Two-Out-of-Three Falls match after their latest match for the belt ended in a double count out and Davids retaining as a result. Davids is currently in her second reign as champion and has one other title defense over Little Miss Roxxy besides the matchup against Austin. She defeated Lana for the belt back in February and ended her lengthy run at 692-days, making her the longest reigning champion in the history of the title… Su Yung and Ludark Shaitan are two of the many competitors announced for IWA Mid-South’s 2017 Ted Petty Invitational tournament, which takes place this Thursday and Friday in Memphis, Indiana. Both women will be making their first appearance in the tournament; Ludark won the promotion’s Queen Of the Death Matches tournament back in 2015, beating Kathy Owens in the finals. She also competed in the 2017 King Of the Death Matches earlier this year and was eliminated before the semi finals by John Wayne Murdoch… Britt Baker battles Faye Jackson for Absolute Intense Wrestling this Friday in Cleveland…
Discovery Wrestling has added their tournament final for the Women’s Championship to Saturday’s show in Edinburgh. It will be a four-way match as Nina Samuels goes up against finalists, Lucy Cole, Sammii Jayne and Martina.The hunt for the inaugural titleholder kicked off back in March, with Candice LeRae beating Viper in the first round opener. From there, the matches continued on in the months following, as Samuels defeated Debbie Sharp in May and Sammii Jayne and Lucy Cole were victorious in June, besting Toni Storm and Jayla Dark respectively. Somewhere along the way, Candice got nixed from the tournament, as she’s not included in Saturday’s matchup. It appears that Martina has been slotted in as her replacement, however, there was no specific reasoning given. Martina does hold a non-tournament win over Ayesha Ray; Ayesha will be in action on the show against Debbie Sharp. The winner of this match will be crowned the first Discovery Wrestling Women’s Champion… Brittany Blake defends the Legacy Women’s Title against Penelope Ford on Saturday… This Sunday, Livvii Grace defends her IPW: UK Women’s Championship against Ayesha Ray for a second time after successfully defeating Ray and two other opponents back in July to pick up her third title defense.

A press conference was held last Wednesday and it was officially revealed by Ice Ribbon and company that Tsukushi was indeed the wrestler that was arrested back in July after allegedly stabbing another competitor, rumored to be Kagetsu. Tsukushi apologized for the incident, however, the victim remains anonymous… Mayu Iwatani is sitting atop the Red Stars block with a whopping ten points, which you would expect from the double champion.
