SLAMpeg 1202: Mercedes Martinez vs Taeler Hendrix

Seeing the slender, almost ethereal Taeler in the ring with the towering, muscular, tattooed Mercedes, one can’t help but feel a bit of foreboding for the sake of the diminutive newcomer. As it happens, these fears are borne out in this brutal destruction of Taeler as she is outweighed, out-powered and, for most of the battle, out-wrestled.

Mercedes doesn’t even afford her any respect, accusing her of whining and complaining on the Internet, before laying right into her. Taeler gets in some spotty offense here and there with a Boston Crab, a well-timed Bulldog and a few armbars, but this is Martinez’s battle. She bounces Taeler from corner to corner, choking and punching her mercilessly.

In fact, a solid chunk of this match is pretty much Martinez’s toned arm constricting poor Taeler’s throat. In the end, a Snap Suplex followed by a Fisherman's Suplex leaves one unconscious as the other struts out of view.
