Check out the above link to see how the WSU Champion Angel Orsini vs Mercedes Martinez feud has escalated to the point where both of these kickass wrestlers are hellbent on destroying each other in a cage on January 10th in Boonton, NJ. These women do not like each other at all and both have vowed to scar the other for life and make them taste their own blood.
For fans who may not know or have forgotten, here is a quick timeline of the Orsini/Martinez feud:
2002-2003 – Angel Orsini helps train Mercedes Martinez at ECW Original Jason Knight’s wrestling school in Connecticut.
2003- Orsini & Martinez team up to wrestle together in several New England promotions.

September 2007- Angel Orsini debuts in WSU during the DVD taping of “It’s Always Sunny In Lake Hiawatha”. Orsini would be challenged by long-time friend Amy Lee, the tag partner of Luna Vachon. Amy wanted to be Angel’s first match in WSU.
September 2007- During the “Surviving the Game” DVD taping, after the Orsini/Lee match, Martinez reveals herself as Luna Vachon’s attacker. Orsini & Martinez embrace in the ring. Martinez said she destroyed Luna & helped Orsini attack Lee because Lee was the one who put Martinez on the shelf for several months. Martinez credits Orsini for helping in her training. The two would be be a factor in Luna Vachon’s retirement.

March 8th, 2008 – During the “First Anniversary Show” DVD taping, Former WSU Sr. Official now turned wrestler, Missy Sampson came out. Missy Sampson explained that due to recent emergency surgery, she is not cleared to wrestle tonight. Amy Lee, her tag partner, scheduled for the extremely personal tag match against Mercedes Martinez & Angel Orsini understood Missy’s situation. However, before Missy could finish talking, Mercedes & Angel came out to jump the gun, against the defenseless Missy Sampson, thinking they had a 2 on 1 advantage for their tag match. However, Missy was able to announce that even though she couldn’t wrestle, she found a partner for Lee, and out came AWESOME KONG!
Amy Lee & Awesome Kong w/Missy Sampson d. Mercedes Martinez & Angel Orsini
In one of the more heated matches of the evening, Amy Lee was finally able to get her revenge over Mercedes & Angel. This feud, which was started when Martinez & Angel revealed themselves as the duo that took out Amy’s ex-tag partner Luna Vachon and taking credit for Luna’s retirement, came to a thrilling climax when Kong was able to lay out Angel, leading to Amy Lee picking up the pinfall!
We found out shortly afterwards, that despite attacking Luna, the fans were still behind Martinez. Orsini resented that fact and told Martinez not to let the fans sway her decisions.

Angel Orsini, who has had some trouble times in WSU, has came up short in numerous attempts to become the number 1 contender to the WSU championship. After a loss to Lacey Von Erich, Angel lost in the finals of the 2008 WSU/NWS Womens J-Cup tournament and was the last woman eliminated in the Uncensored Rumble. However, when WSU & JAPW made a deal to have the WSU championship defended on JAPW events, Angel capitalized on the opportunity, and defeated Nikki Roxx to win the WSU Championship.
In a 12 minute match, that featured alot of mat wrestling with some brawling, Angel was able to put Nikki Roxx down for the count cleanly, after a reverse rock bottom. It was Angel’s biggest win in WSU.
Angel a mat veteran for some time threw a major wrench into the WSU fold, as Angel took the ball and is now ready to run with it. With tons of hungry challengers for the championship, a feeling Angel knows, Angel will now have to take on all comers, any where, any time. ”

June 21st, 2008 – Orsini vs Martinez II takes place during “Army of One”. This match is a match of the year candidate that featured brawling throughout the building, even going up in the balcony section where Martinez threw Orsini from one balcony into another.

October 11th, 2008- From the WSUWrestling.com “RESULTS” section:
WSU Tag Team Tournament Match
Round One
Mercedes Martinez & Angel Orsini d. Bobcat & Gorgeous George
In what many are calling one of the most shocking moments in WSU history, Angel Orsini teamed up with Mercedes Martinez. Martinez called out Orsini and talked about how Orsini has been ducking and getting lucky in matches with her. Martinez talked about how Orsini laid out Martinez’s partner Reyna Fire last night. Martinez said she didn’t care who Orsini’s partner would be & said she’d fight in a handicapped match against Orsini & her mystery partner.
When pressed Orsini finally let the cat out of the bag and announced Martinez as her partner. Orsini said her best chance to win the tournament was with Martinez which is why she had been attacking Fire. With Fire hospitalized, Martinez had no choice but to come out alone, leaving her to tag with Orsini. Orsini then said with Martinez teaming with her, it means Martinez couldn’t go after her in the tournament matches.
However during the match against Bobcat & George, Martinez had the match seemingly won. LITTLE JEANNE ran out and attacked Martinez, allowing Angel & Jeanne to win the match. Both Jeanne & Orsini attacked Martinez after the match proclaiming this was part of their master plan. In a separate promo on the DVD release it was explained that Jeanne & Orsini used to team before and have been friends for 15 years and they suckered Martinez into their plan. They eliminated Martinez from the tournament and outsmarted Martinez. You’ll want to see this on the DVD, as Angel has not only shown off her brawn in WSU, but her brains.
WSU Tag Team Tournament Match
Round Two
Amy Lee & Missy Sampson d. WSU Champion Angel Orsini & Little Jeanne
This was one of the better tag matches in WSU history, with all four wrestlers brawling all over the building. Eventually Mercedes Martinez ran out, distracting Orsini, allowing Amy to pin Orsini to advance in the tournament. As a result of this pinfall, WSU has announced a special WSU championship match on the 10/18 JAPW event between Lee & Orsini. This was one hell of a main event to wrap up the first taping of the Tag Team Title Tournament show.
October 11th, 2008- During the “PAYBACK’s A BITCH!” the following took place, courtesy of WSUWrestling.com’s RESULT section:
Battle Royal
Winner Gets A Shot at the WSU Champion In The Main Event
Bobcat lastly eliminated Mercedes Martinez to earn the right to fight for the WSU Championship in the main event.
ENTRANTS: Jana, Latasha, Bobcat, Martinez, Gorgeous George, Trixxie Lynn, Little Jeanne, Melissa Coates
This was an exciting battle royal, which saw Martinez and Jeanne duke it out. It seems a new feud is brewing between these two, as the allegiances and battle lines have been made.
Martinez was the star of this battle royal, eliminating Jeanne towards the end. However, Angel Orsini ran out and cost Martinez the match, leaving Bobcat the winner. Orsini made it clear that she wants no part of Mercedes Martinez in WSU anymore and does not want her title run in jeopardy by being placed in a match with Martinez.
While all this was going on, Molly Holly came out. Molly said she sees how WSU operates and that this is not the Angel Orsini show. To ensure that Orsini’s shenanigans would be prevented, Molly named herself special referee for the main event, as approved by WSU commissioner Dawn Marie!

This was another wild match, where Orsini proved her dominance as WSU champion.
After the match, Mercedes Martinez came out and confronted Angel Orsini. Martinez beat the HOLY FN HELL out of Orsini, nailing her with the WSU title and DDTing her on a steel chair! Martinez then set-up a table and BRAINBUSTERED ORISNI THROUGH THE TABLE in one of the sickest displays of violence we’ve ever seen in WSU.
Martinez then made one of the biggest announcements in WSU history! Martinez , while standing out over a knocked out cold Orsini, said on 1/10, Martinez vs Orsini IV would happen, but this time, in a STEEL CAGE MATCH! WSU has approved the match, as WSU felt that Orsini/Martinez were all over the double DVD taping, interfering and attacking each other and the only way to settle this and to prevent interference, people running away & blind sided attacks is to go with Martinez’s idea and put them in the cage! Martinez and Orsini delivered again as this is MUST-SEE material.

January 10th, 2009- Orsini vs Martinez IV, for the WSU Championship, in a STEEL CAGE will take place in what promises to be the sickest, most brutal, most intense & most important match in WSU History.
