[edit] Career
Mercedes Martinez started wrestling on the New England independent circuit after completing her training under Jason Knight. Through 2003 and 2004, Martinez competed in various promotions such as Connecticut Championship Wrestling, IWA Mid South, and New England Championship Wrestling.
In 2005, Martinez branched out, becoming a bigger star by competing in larger promotions such as Jersey All Pro Wrestling. On November 6th, Mercedes wrestled in the inaugural event of the new exclusive women wrestling promotion, SHIMMER Women Athletes run by Dave Prazak, a wrestling promoter, manager, and Ring of Honor commentator. Martinez wrestled Sara Del Rey and both were given a standing ovation after their match. Martinez continues to wrestle for SHIMMER and various independent promotions across America through 2006. Much of her mainstream exposure comes through her frequent appearances with Women's Extreme Wrestling.
On March 25, 2006, Martinez made her Ring of Honor debut in New York City where she competed in a great SHIMMER sanctioned match versus her counterparts of Allison Danger, Daizee Haze, and Lacey. It was recently announced on WEW's website that Mercedes will be facing Simply Luscious in a Stairway to Ecstacy Barbed Wire Match.
On May 27, 2006, Martinez competed in the debut MXWomen's match, one of the Quadruple Main Events at MXW MAYhem in Bristol, Connecticut. She defeated Cindy Rogers, and subsequently, upon the first-ever release of MXW's Top 10 Contenders rankings, was ranked as #9 Contender out of 19 eligible wrestlers. 17 of those 19 are men, and as of present, Martinez is the only woman in MXW's Top 10.
